... a bit delayed. Yes, St. Patrick's Day greetings are a bit delayed. Falling on a Monday after Spring Break, well, the day caught everyone off guard. Regardless, this day is marked by parades, bagpipes, soda bread, merriment, and of course, the wearing of the green. At Notre Dame, all of this and much more happened to mark this special day. But something else that added to the festivities was the appearance of Galanthus, or more commonly known as, snowdrops. Yes, just in time for St. Patrick's Day, snowdrops appeared all about campus from the lakes to grotto and beyond. The appearance of these delicate spring flowers only brought more smiles to a day already filled with smiles. On the appearance of the snowdrops atop the Grotto, Fr. Ralph said, "Seeing the snowdrops TODAY on St. Patrick's Day was like sprinkles atop a sundae!"
After a well deserved Spring Break, everyone's favorite podcast, In the Red Room, is on hiatus but will return next week with more amazing stories from Notre Dame's oldest and most storied residence hall.
