St. Patrick's Day is today.
This year I started celebrating a little early with a
Green Tea Frappuccino from Starbucks.
Matcha and Green heaven! Ha!
And, if it is too cold for a Frappuccino,
perhaps some hot tea will do the trick.
Always nice to get out the Belleek for St. Patrick's Day.
Corned beef and cabbage are usually on the menu.
This year I'm changing things up a bit and plan on having
Pasta, Peas, Asparagus, Spinach and Pesto!
Adapted from a friends recipe that you can find here.

Daffodils have arrived at Trader Joe's and I'm in heaven!
Spring is definitely arriving around Twisty Lane.
In almost every room.
The daffodil is such a happy flower!
The daffodil is such a happy flower!
“Daffodils are an optimistic flower, and foolproof.
You know what Shakespeare said:
"Daffodils,
That come before the swallow dares, and take
The winds of March with beauty."
...I plant them in big clumps with a trusty shovel.
I make several large holes all around and put quite a few in.
That's why it makes such a spectacular look when they bloom.”
― Tasha Tudor, The Private World of Tasha Tudor

I finished the Cottage Charm Afghan.
Yes, I ran out of blue and had to get more.
The color is a close match, but the texture is a little different.
I always make the first of a project for myself.
The difference in texture won't bother me!
I think my favorite part of the afghan is the little white bow!
It's going to work well as a lap-ghan for me.
Most importantly -- It has Mr. Oliver's approval!
The blue matches his eyes......
I'm reading the last of the Amish mysteries - A Churn for the Worse.
I'll be sad to finish. I really like the characters and the setting.
I hope there are more to come in the series.

May your joys be
as deep as the oceans
Your troubles
as light as its foam
And may you find
sweet peace of mind
Wherever you
may roam.
Wishing YOU well and much joy on this St. Patrick's Day.
