Texas clover

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! After work, I took a walk out back to survey the new wildflowers, budding trees/shrubs,  and the herb garden we planted over the weekend.   These little patches of clover caught my eye.  They’re not the real thing, but they are close enough.  I haven’t found any with 4 leaves yet.

For dinner we had a bit of homemade shepherd’s pie and a pint of guinness /  harp.   Tonight my family called for a remote group toast over the phone – to the day, and to my Dad.     Slainte!

May the road rise to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
The rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of his hand.

-Traditional Irish Blessing
