It's St. Patrick's Day. They always say everybody's irish on March 17th. My oldest son was suppose to be born on this day, but choose to come two days early. He's now 28...how can that be since I'm only 32?!
I remember being in 3rd grade and if you DID NOT have on green you had to stand in front of the class so you could be embarassed. Being the non-conformist that I am...I've never worn green on March 17th again. Not a drop of Irish in these veins. Where do they get these customs anyway?
My grandpa always said you had to have your potatoes planted on this day and if it would dry up, I'd get out and work in the garden. It's been so wet here that it's impossible to get your hands dirty. I'm SO ready.
I took three quilts to the quilter last weekend. It'll be nice to have something finished.

We used to get pinched unmercifully if we did not were green. Hope a warm sun warms the soil soon for your crops.
I ment wear!!
Hubby's B-day is on St. Pat's day. We are always so focused on the b-day that we sometimes forget it's St. Patrick's Day. When we lived in Louisiana, went to Pat O'Brien's for his b-day and wondered why in the world it was so crowded....Duh..
Well I did wear a bit of green but then half of me is of Irish descent.
We've had a relatively warm spring and today was almost summery with temps in the 70's.
