HAPPY SAINT PATRICK'S DAY!

 

With thanks to our dear friend Ann for the very pretty and elegant St. Patrick's Day card, I wanted to put it on today's post along with these lovely sentiments inside.


Thank you so much for continuously spreading the joy Ann, and brightening my day each time one of your lovely cards pops into my letter box.

I don't have my usual recipe, but I do have a link to some Irish Soda Bread I made a while ago. You can find it here. There is also another link (not on my blog) but one called Parsley, Thyme and Limoncello for Irish Colcannon Potatoes. And if these don't paddle your own canoe, at this link you will find 62 Irish recipes you can make instead.

Irish Folk Song "Paddle Me Own Canoe" can be found here. Who knew?

So without further ado...Sláinte!
Pronounced slawn-che, which means "cheers!" or literally, "health"...

and I will leave you with an Irish Blessing.

"May your blessings outnumber the shamrocks that grow and may trouble avoid you wherever you go."

I wish you all top of the morning, and may it be a wonderful day for you all.
