Welcome the spring tomorrow morning

Just a reminder that a gathering is planned for tomorrow morning at sunrise at the Dun Ailinne sculpture on the Athy Road to celebrate the Spring Equinox.

The time of year is traditionally the time to welcome the better days coming after a long hard winter, which we have certainly had this year.

The sculpture by local artist Noel Scullion, which was installed in 2008, is designed to have the equinoctal dawning sun's rays shine through its 'mouth'. It was seen to tremendous effect in 2008, but weather got in the way last year.
We live in hope in 2010 ... for the sun and a lot more besides.

Be there about 6.20am. (Look out the window first. If it's cloudy or rainy, don't bother until Sunday morning, which has a better weather forecast.)
