Daily Diversion #110: St. Patrick’s Day

Posted on March 17, 2013 by maedez

“May your blessings outnumber/The shamrocks that grow,/And may trouble avoid you/Wherever you go.” Irish Blessing

My husband is a Scotsman and I am an English-German lass, but today we donned the green and got our Irish on.

My kilted hottie honey.

Getting my green on.

St. Patrick’s Day

Quite the lass and laddie. We made the mistake of wearing orange to downtown Tucson today and realized our mistake when we looked around.

  Thanks, Judy. Any excuse for my husband to don one of his kilts. I assume you were the only orange in a sea of green? 🙂

    Actually, we were. It was not intentional. My great-grandfather was from Ireland (others from Scotland and Germany) but I have never felt the need to wear the green. It’s like I know what I am and it isn’t a beer-swilling leprechaun. But the bagpipes make me cry every time.

    We had a bagpiper at our wedding! I embrace just about any excuse to wear green. Whether I am sporting my natural red hair or my current blonde, green is my best colour.

  Thanks! The black and white covers my sins of waiting too long between trips to the salon.

  Thanks, they are tweed with an open-toe and a button. I bought them 8 years ago on a whim, and I still adore them.
