Isn't Mother Nature feeling her oats lately? Hubby and I enjoyed glorious weather in nearby Ireland, WV over the weekend when we visited their Irish Spring Festival AND THEN, we got roughly a foot of snow overnight.. Incredible! I'm just so glad that it held off until after the festival. What great fun it was to join the fine people of Ireland to help celebrate the coming of Spring. There was jig dancing, horseshoe pitching, road bowling, harp concerts, kite flying and an EPIC parade with leprechauns, pigmy goats, lots of candy, step dancers and plenty of red hair to go around.
I truly haven't seen so many people having such a great time since that time I was on cold medicine during the St. Paddy's day parade in Baltimore in 1994, but that's a story for another day...
So, with a foot of snow on the ground, I'll be hanging out at the ranch today... deciding whether or not to hire an air traffic controller for the back deck:
The feeder has been busier than a cut-rate cathouse (if you'll kindly pardon the expression).
So, until next time friends, stay warm, keep stitching and beware of the ides of March!
