Going with Green: Happy Saint Patrick's Day!

in Silver Bloggers3 years ago


Oh, yea
I love too much.
Care more than I should.
Too deep, I know.
That is the way, the way I dream.
So, just for the day, I'll be Irish and dream that I wake up and
That your hand is still in mine.
And that you still love me, you love me, you love me
Still the same


Erin go Bragh!

This was taken a few years back when I was hiking a trail at Great Falls Park, which always surprised people that there is a 880 acre park 15 miles from the Nation's Capital. History and nature, along with the rogue little clover, looking for the sun. The shadow was quite by accident, I didn't spot it until I was looking through the lens. I know I have posted the picture before, but, it's Saint Patrick's Day! So sidle up to the fallen tree and let's have a Guiness!

Lá Fhéile Pádraig sona duit! Quite literally, Happy Saint Patrick's Day to you in the native tongue... and here is how you can try pronouncing it! Law leh Paw-drig suna ghit. All together now!!!

Give me the greens! It is Saint Patrick's Day! It truly is all about the green today, isn't it? So very eclectic and true, is this post, containing green and words to go by. So, tell the truth! Will you be doing corned beef and cabbage today? Sprinkled with potatoes and carrots? Growing up, we did ham and sometimes corned beef, but honestly in Ireland, it was all aobut the ham and we bastardized the tradition when it came to our shores. So what's on the menu for Saint Patrick's Day?

I planted these clover in my garden a couple of years ago. They are really called oxalis - a pretty little flowering plant in the wood-sorrel family. They are also in purple, but don't look nearly as dainty as these. May your day be touched by some Irish luck!!

Perhaps a beautiful flower? There is always a flower to color my world.How can I refute what my heart desires? #alwaysaflower


May the Irish hills caress you.
May her lakes and rivers bless you.
May the luck of the Irish enfold you.
May the blessings of Saint Patrick behold you.
May there always be work for your hands to do,


May your purse always hold a coin or two.
May the sun always shine warm on your windowpane,
May a rainbow be certain to follow each rain.
May the hand of a friend always be near you,
And may God fill your heart with gladness to cheer you.

All I have are my words, armed in my mind, written in pen, stand by stand. Oh, yes. Still by hand. It has a different feel. Altered not by keys, backspace, and delete, I write, erase, tear it to pieces and start all over again. And again.

It’s my way. I walk out to the deep end of the page and dive right in.


True fact! Ireland is not the largest consumer of Guiness beer! That honor belongs to the Brits, and unbelievabley, second place goes to the #Nigerians! Only in third place will you find Ireland! Who knew?

May your glass be ever full.
May the roof over your head be always strong.
And may you be in heaven half an hour before the devil knows you're dead.

Here's to a fellow who smiles
When life runs along like a song.
And here's to the lad who can smile
When everything goes dead wrong.

May the Good Lord take a liking to you ... but not too soon!*

I love the shadow in that photo. Good catch . Happy Saint Patrick's Day ( a celebration very alien to me before I got here) . This is very surprising to me :"second place goes to the #Nigerians!". knowing that they are very religious there with half of their religious population being Muslim, it is surprising to my that they are rated as one of the largest beer consumers!Misconceptions one might have. Plop! Like Condorito. untitled.gif

I was totally surprised when I looked it up, for exactly the same reasons. That is what I get for assuming I know.

LOL Condorito :)

Happy St. Patrick's Day to you! Cheers!! Thank you!

You are kind of cool yourself!

What's on the menu? Left over Mexican from last night. It has poblanos in it so that is my green right? I can't remember the last time I went out for St. Patrick's Day. I was much younger, I know that. I am wearing green today though, so that should count for something.

 3 years ago  

They are so green!! Ding! Ding! Ding! You win! I am in the green today but, I haven't gone out in several years. The last time I was in the Caribbean somewhere, at a street party for Stl Patricks Day, but I am not a huge drinker, so the last time was when I was home and all the Irish Pubs have Pub crawls.... not for me!

Happy St. Patrick's Day! 💚

And to you as well!

Happy day of the wearing of the Green. @dswigle

Thanks dear

Happy St Patrick's day!
I didn't even realize that it was today until I saw this post.
I didn't know about the tradition of eating ham, or corned beef for the occasion. I should have bought ham on my last grocery shop lol

 3 years ago  

Yes! That would have been perfect!:))

Happy St. Patrick's Day! Are we the only country that celebrates? To be fair, we run around looking for things to celebrate!

Hahaha yeah that's true about North America I think. Canada is the same. It loves any excuse to sell stuff.

Not always and not everyone, but sometimes we go too far with our concern for profits. Lol

Hello my dear Denise, your glasses is so cute and special, like the leave patterns :P
Have a nice day, stay safe and enjoy there.

Happy Friday, Denise. Enjoy your day!🌸🌼🌺🌻🌹

May your purse always hold a coin or two.

Usually It contains only a coin or two. Especially at the end of the months. Haha. 😂

!LOLZ.

I am so much tired of living under the local minimum wage that nowadays I rather make a joke out of it.

By the way, we do not celebrate today, but happy Saint Patrick's day.

Have a nice day. All the best. Greetings and much love from Hungary.

Two coins? Yikes!

The US celebrates everything!Aren't we strange?

Happy St. Paddy's Day!!

The US celebrates everything!Aren't we strange?

I would gladly and happily celebrate all day every day than to worry about the future also all day every day. I know that there are poor regions (For example Skid Row) in the USA too, but not the majority of the citizens, like in Hungary. Budapest is the elite, the countryside is mostly poor. Nowadays this is very similar to North Korea's Pyongyang. That is where the elite, the rich lives, and the countryside is very poor and suffering. But the world nowadays does not even see much from that, because nowadays North Korea is the most isolated country in the world. I use the nowadays word so much, because I hope that the situation will become better for all the people in the world, who are currently poor.

What do you get after the animal dinner party?
Stuffed animals.
