Happy St. Patrick's Day 2014

-



Hills as green as emeralds
Cover the countryside
Lakes as blue as sapphires-
And Ireland's special pride
And rivers that shine like silver
Make Ireland look so fair-
But the friendliness of her people
Is the richest treasure there.




We had a fun-filled Irish Tea weekend! Look at what one of our guests brought us! Irish Soda Bread! My favorite!

 I love soda bread ~ I could eat the whole loaf by myself!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!
