hunting for green

Today, we are in search of green all around.  The earthy color seems to magically appear in places we never notice.  All of the sudden, the Irish magic heightens our senses and that lucky color finds its way into all the nooks and cranny's of our day.  

Normal foods we eat everyday suddenly appear only green when paired together in a new arrangement.  A few drops of green food coloring makes our milk green too.

Bright green socks are dug out of the sock bin and proudly worn

 to avoid a dreadful pinch.

Little green bows and hair-clips adorn red Irish locks of hair.

We sit in the tiniest patch of green and hunt for signs of a four-leaf clover 

and perhaps a lucky Leprachaun prancing around.

They peered into a small pond, confident they could see a Leprechaun dashing about.

Snippets of spring green are spotted among the ruffles of a homemade spring dress.

Even green hangars are found amongst a pile of laundry.  They make great teething toys.

And all this hunting for green has pleasantly reminded us that Spring is just around the corner.  The trees are blossoming and grasses are waking up, eager to spread more green all around.

Happy St. Patrick's Day to you!

May the luck of the Irish be with you today and always!
