May friendship, like wine, improve as time advances. 
And may we always have old wine, old friends, and young cares.
-Irish toast

A Bit O' The Green

This St. Patty's day we are thankful for our little onion sprouts giving us a glimpse of the green to come.  When the soil thaws, they will be separated and grow to be beautiful red onions, how can you resist a varietal called Cabernet?


As we look with eager eyes to the gardening season.....

May you have:
No frost on your spuds,
No worms on your cabbage.
May your goat give plenty of milk.
And if you inherit a donkey,
May she be in foal.

A very Happy St. Patrick's Day to you and yours!  Sláinte

May love and laughter light your days

And warm your heart and home.
May good and faithful friends be yours,
Wherever you may roam.
May peace and plenty bless your world
With joy that long endures.
May all life's passing seasons
Bring the best to you and yours! 

Lá Fhéile Pádraig Sona!


The photo above was taken on my families trip to Ireland in 1982.  I got a package of three DVD's in the mail from my dad this week, he'd had all of the family photos ever taken digitized to preserve them, this was one of them.  Thanks Dad!
