Happy St. Patrick's Day

Happy St. Patrick's Day, Dear Friends! 

As you hum a few bars of 

'These Irish Eyes are Smilin'

I'll leave you with some Irish Proverbs to mull over

whilst sipping your Irish coffee:)

The tongue ties knots that the teeth cannot loosen. 

The best looking-glass is the eyes of a friend. 

There's many a good tune played on an old fiddle. 

Never give cherries to pigs or advice to fools. 

Reputations last longer than lives. 

All happy endings are beginnings as well.

And now hum along to my favorite Irish ballad;

Danny Boy

Oh, Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling,

From glen to glen and down the mountainside,

The summer's gone and all the roses falling,

'Tis you, 'tis you must go and I must bide,

But come ye back when summer's in the meadow,

Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow.

'Tis I'll be there in sunshine or in shadow,

Oh Danny boy, Oh Danny boy I love you so.

And when you come and all the flowers are dying,

If I am dead - and dead I well may be,

Ye'll come and find a place where I am lying,

And kneel and say an Ave there for me;

And I shall hear though soft your tread above me,

And all my grave shall warmer, sweeter be,

For you will bend and tell me that you love me,

And I shall live in peace until you come to me. 

xoxo



An Old Irish Blessing for you  <3

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!

Erin Go Bragh!

Today I am cooking a corned beef and cabbage
dinner in the crock pot
served with Irish soda bread, of course!

P.S. I really enjoyed reading your experiences
with gardening in response to my last post :)

We truly are kindred spirits <3

Thank you for your sweet friendship xoxo
