Into each day
put about one teaspoonful
of good spirits
a dash of fun
a pinch of folly a sprinkle of play
and a heaping cupful of good humor.
Add some green beer and have a Happy St Patrick's Day!
some wonderful vintage postcards....

 |
| So sweet---violets...and good luck! |
Mid-March! The garden stores are filled with tiny daffodils and pansies!
For some reason, fresh firm, green artichokes appear on St-Patrick's Day, along with new asparagus and the requisite corned beef and cabbage.....

And Irish soda bread...yum! When I was growing up in the Midwest my town used to dye the river green! Probably that's no longer "done"---but in New York the pubs do sell green beer (eeew!).
I am making shepherd's pie: the day is sunny and warmish but brisk winds are blowing....The guys at the grocery store gave me a green carnation! What do you do for this holiday?

Love the postcards and the green butterfly pin! One year my mom dyed the mashed potatos green for St. Pat's - an no one would eat them! Probably my kids would have...they used to color their cream of wheat awful colors of purple, orange, and green!
ReplyDeleteShepherd's pie sounds so good -- can I come to your house for dinner??!!
Your pictures are beautiful and I love your butterfly too. Reminded me to go and get som bulbs to force although I noticed my tulips coming up today, hooray! Signs of Spring for real.
ReplyDeleteWe had a wonderful St. Patty's Day. I made the yummy Corn Beef and Cabbage New England dinner and gave my co-workers bags of Irish Cream Candy. I found out I am part Irish this year and it made for an even nicer celebration. Love your butterfly pin! Kit
