The Ides of March!

The Ides of March.....

A favorite in our house... first the parade and party on the Saturday before, then the Corn Beef and Irish music on Monday, the 17th  at our favorite Irish bar!  It is a month long celebration in our house!

2 years ago, the St. Patrick's Day parade was a shorts and short sleeve kind of a day.  A good old fashioned lawn party!  This year, I don't think we will be so lucky.   Temperatures are still below the average for March and snow if literally still falling as I write this!

Either way, we celebrate the fun of being Irish and welcome any little tiny sign of Spring to come soon!

Chasing Rainbows....

How lucky are we...?  A beautiful rainbow for the second day in a row.  Yesterday we saw the whole arch and today this was our view outside our front door.   What does this mean?  This beautiful color spectrum twice - could it possibly mean that Spring is finally here... maybe my Bluebird of Happiness post helped...LOL. 

Hopefully, it means a lot of good things to come for our family and friends... in health, happiness and prosperity.  Either way, it gives us a "ray" of hope and excitement for the season ahead!

Enjoy,

Top of the Mornin' To You!!!

Happy St. Patty's Day.....
Green, Green, and More Green...

An Irish Blessing for you:

"For each petal on the shamrock,
this brings a wish to you..
Good health, good luck & happiness
for today and every day through...."




Never did I know how lucky I would be when I married my husband, Tom. We have three beautiful girls and enjoy all our days together.

One of our favorite family traditions is going to the St. Patrick's Day parade each year. I decorate the house the week before and send out our party invitations.. we have everyone back to the house after the parade for a good old fashioned Irish day filled with food, drink and lots of Irish music... our favorite being "Green Alligators..."

The parade was last Saturday and it was a wee bit chilly, but sunny for the most part. We had a great spot to watch for Leprechauns and the parade too, of course. After the parade, the house was filled with lots of friends and families.. some ended up spending the night and we woke up to Lucky Charms and a big mess... we wouldn't change a thing..

So, as today is St. Patrick's Day... I am at work, not play. My Irish for today is our mascot..
The Lucky Leprechaun

and some green to look at out in the warehouse....

Later, I will meet up with my husband and we will celebrate with Corn Beef and Cabbage at a local Irish Pub...

"May your thoughts be as glad as shamrocks,
May your heart be as light as a song,
May each day bring you bright, happy hours,
that stay with you all year long."

Enjoy your St. Patrick's Day!
