    Does anyone know when ewes start producing milk here in
    Newfoundland? It is bound to be later than in Ireland, and
    may be around now. And it has been used as one marker
    of Imbolc or Oimelc (ewes' milk), so perhaps this could be
    considered a very late Imbolc. :-)

    (And the movie Groundhog Day did end eventually, but
    I don’t know if Sisyphus ever got over the top.)
