Hello, Welcome to Marcia’s Cottage by the Sea. Tis lovely to see you on this fine Mornin’. And a Happy St. Pat’s Day to you indeed!
The tea is on, & soda bread is baking in the oven. Come, let’s sit and chat for a wee while. ♧
Later there are plans to attend a St. Patricks dinner. I’m looking forward to that!
Do you have any fun plans for today?
Any chance your visiting friends in Ireland?
Watching the St.Patrick’s Day parade in NY might be fun.
I thought it would be nice to share a recipe with you.
Since everyone is a little Irish today. I found the recipe on Pinterest, which is my home away from home.

Thank you, Marcia, and wishing you a Happy Saint Patrick’s Day!
Today I arrived at my yoga class with a green tie-dyed t-shirt and a green sweater, totally forgetting that it was St. Patrick’s Day…I found this rather amazing! Hope your day was fun-filled!
