Green for St. Patrick’s Day

I don’t think I have Irish ancestors, but since today is St. Patrick’s Day, I am sending you an Irish blessing with a heart full of thankfulness for each of you.

“May there always be work for your hands to do,
May your purse always hold a coin or two.
May the sun always shine warm on your windowpane,
May a rainbow be certain to follow each rain.
May the hand of a friend always be near you,
And may God fill your heart with gladness to cheer you.”
― Irish Blessing

And here’s a picture of nature wearing green last spring. Just think—Spring 2014 starts in just a few days!






Are you wearing green today?

  13. Everyone's Irish today, friend! :-) Happy St. Paddy's Day! I am a quarter Irish and have donned the green (as have the kids, and even my Mexican hubby!). My eyes are green so there's my default green.

    (I am SO READY for spring!)

  15. I'm not wearing green because I don't really have any that is easy to find. Green is not my favorite color. But I might try to dig some out because we are going out tonight to listen to Irish music. I have an Irishman or two buried in my very crowded woodpile, but I'm mostly French.
