A nice surprise -- a really fun post that had a bit of depth and advice slipped in, almost unnoticed, for good measure. Enjoyed your style. Keep up the good work.

Such a great post; I really enjoyed this one. I once walked into my bathroom on St Patrick’s Day and heard my husband talking in the shower. I asked him if he was talking to a leprechaun in there. Nope, just practicing a presentation he was giving that day, but it made for a good laugh!

Let's dance with the leprechauns and make a bit of clever and life-affirming mischief this season! Squirrels are chasing each other and birds are noisier than I remember. Enjoy!

Those leprechauns are highly active around here all year long.

Love this! Being a second generation Irish lass, I love the hero reference. Ireland has been full of heroes and heroines throughout history. I am sure you know that. Green wine- I will have to remember that for next year.

Leprechauns used to swap out shoelaces for green ones, line the bathroom sink with moss, short sheet the beds while the kids were in school, and when we tried to foil them by mixing the dry ingredients for pancakes the night before, the batter mysteriously turned bright green when we added the milk in the morning even though the milk wasn’t green either. I never got green wine though. Although I guess it’s never too late. It’s nearly 5:00 here.

Green wine? My Italian side is shuddering in horror. My Irish O’Came ancestors are as well, but only because it’s not a Guinness.

Celebrating what would have been my parents 78th anniversary. Wearing the green, Irish soda bread and some chocolate. Mother’s maiden name was Harrigan !
