Happy St Paddy's Day!



Hi! Happy St. Patrick's Day.


This is a big holiday here in NY, and in other big cities like Chicago [where they dye the river green!].


Mo is all decked out and ready for his green beer and corned beef on rye:














I can dance a jig, mommy!






Today the grocery store had masses of delightful St P flowers, some with cute little leprechaun hats!


Bells of Ireland.


Real shamrocks.


When I was in the check out line an older man behind me had half a dozen big bouquets, he looked so pleased! Though when I tried to ask him about his purchase ["Those are so pretty! For some lucky ladies, I see?"], he ignored me, just muttering  about how I had a full car in a 20 item lane. Gee. (The cashier had insisted on checking me out, he was doing nothing, not a soul around...until this guy arrived with his flowers, and his NYC hurry it up attitude.) I hope the man cheers up for his party or parade.


Funny things seen out and about....






Enjoy your weekend!



love

lizzy

gone to the beach...........













PS Sunny today but very cold. 45 mph winds with wind chill in the low twenties. I hope the wind lessens a bit tomorrow so I can go see if my oystercatchers have arrived.

  2. That guy is buying all those flowers and still isn't joyful? Oh well. Mo sure looks cute. I could use any color of beer right about now. :)

  3. Mo's a winner in that splendid shamrock bow tie.
    So exciting to have the oystercatchers back on your beach as well as snowdrops appearing. We're shivering here at 50* with mist and rain in mid Summer. Maybe Autumn's arriving early? Penny

  6. I am loving Mo's bow tie! He looks so dashing. Poo on the cranky man. It is rather cold and gray here. But I am decorating my home in green. Making corn beef and cabbage too. Happy St. Paddy's to you! :) Kit

  7. Happy St Patrick's Day! We just went out to eat and I had delicious corned beef dinner! Wow! I still cannot believe how good it was.

  8. Mo O'Pug wore his green in the most handsome of ways. Beautiful flowers. Maybe that man was buying all those bouquets as peace offerings for other toes he stepped on?!

  9. So glad that Mo wears green so well! And the wearing of the green is almost as important as being a pug!
