Happy Saint Patrick's Day! Lá Fhéile Pádraig Sona Daoibh!

I know everyone in the US is big on wearing green for Saint Patrick's Day, but green is just not in our palette of wardrobe colours. We're in good company: artist Piet Mondrian wasn't keen for green either. Naturally occurring green in nature is wonderful, but green beer? Emphatically, no.
These Purple Shamrocks grow along our brick walkway, and, at certain times of day, especially when the setting sun illumines them, they transform into a jewel-toned red.  Red, purple -- those are our colours!

Happy Saint Patrick's Day to all our friends, followers, and family!  In this part of the globe, we wish you a soon-arriving Springtime after this hard winter we've all endured.

Our lives have seasons, passages of change we endure or enjoy.  One season, we dance gracefully through; the next season, we crawl or braille our way slowly, excruciatingly.  I've been in a long winter, punctuated now and then with hints of spring.

Just a quick word of encouragement to you, my reading friend, and for myself, too:
