This was a great year for the annual St. Patty's Day parade and the Irish-Italian parade. The above shot is of my hubby and myself, mid-celebration, disheveled but having the time of our lives. We caught such an incredible amount of produce- cabbages, potatoes, carrots, etc.- along with novelty items and beads. The weather was incredible- a visitation of a "real" Spring (which is rare in the South)- cool breezes, mild sunshine, comfortable and humidity-free. It's our time of year to catch up with friends and celebrate the change of season. Its a time of luck and prosperity and plans for the future. It's going home laden with vegetables, and putting a pot of veggie stew on the stovetop to simmer. It's giving extras to the family that couldn't make it to join us at the parades this year, and sharing the bounty.
Another cool footnote: my best friend and her little girl made it to the cover of msn.com on St. Patty's Day (the 17th)!!! A random photographer snapped their picture at the parade, and it appeared a week later online. Wow- our girls are celebrities, lol.
Wishing that this is the start of a lucky year for all you good folks out there. Luck o' the Irish to you...and you...and you! :)
