St. Patrick's Day

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

Irish Blessing for Happiness
May your troubles be less
And your blessing be more
And nothing but happiness
Come through your door.

As soon as I turn the calendar over to March, I look to see on what day St. Patrick’s Day lands. There are many opportunities to celebrate in Kansas City with a parade, or Irish food, or music.

Erinn Go Brach!

Aye, and did you know March is Irish American Month? Not much surprise there since St. Patrick's Day is widely celebrated in America.

A cabin with plenty of food is better than a hungry castle.  Heavy reliance on potatoes as a food staple led to hardships and famine when a blight killed most of the crop in 1845. That and other problems caused a huge wave of immigration to the United States.

Bit O' the Irish

Leprechauns, castles, good luck and laughter
Lullabies, dreams, and love ever after.
Poems and songs with pipes and drums
A thousand welcomes when anyone comes.
That's the Irish for you!

I'm looking over a four leaf clover
That I overlooked before
One leaf is sunshine, the second is rain,
Third is the roses that grow in the lane.
No need explaining the one remaining
Is somebody I adore.
I'm looking over a four leaf clover
That I overlooked before.

How to Believe in Leprechauns

When I was a kid, I believed in leprechauns, but I always found them to be exhausting little things, especially when in first grade we made our leprechaun traps. I thought I had devised and crafted the most elaborate and most amazing trap ever, but to my dismay, even my trap was torn to shreds just like my friends’ had been upon our arrival the next day of class. My friends said it was our teacher who destroyed the traps and that there were no leprechauns. I knew better.
