Wishing you a rainbow
For sunlight after showers—
Miles and miles of Irish smiles
For golden happy hours—
Shamrocks at your doorway
For luck and laughter too,
And a host of friends that never ends
Each day your whole life through!

Can I admit that one of my pet peeves is the pairing of four-leaf clovers with St. Patrick's Day? Silly, I know, but during my grade school days I enjoyed the story of the Irish saint illustrating the story of the Holy Trinity using the shamrock. Now I keep wondering what comes after the Father, Son and Holy Spirit if you use a four-leaf clover? Elvis? Don McLean? The Fairy Godmother? Anyway, I blame the whole mix-up on Lucky Charms cereal and mischievous leprechauns.
I was hoping my liturgically-correct shamrocks would resprout from their winter doldrums in time for March 17th, but they're just little brown nublets today. Sigh. No four-leaf clovers in evidence either. We used to have a four-leaf clover plant--I still check each clover plant before I do my weeding!
Must be a wee bit of lace-curtain Irish in me. These look fine from outside but inside...high water!
Happy St. Patrick's Day,, my friends! Don't forget to wear your green today or...ouch!
I have some high waters too, from Pottery Barn. I washed instead of dry cleaned. I finally moved the couch in front of them til I get them replaced.
ReplyDeleteHappy St. Patrick's Day any way you want to celebrate it. I celebrate it as my son's birthday
Took me forever to figure out what the "ouch" meant. Then I remembered...the pinch! :)
