TOP OF THE MORNIN TO EVERYONE

Hi Ioatoo...St Patricks Day is celebration for Irish heritage, culture and the patron saint of Ireland, St Patrick. It is day of parades,eating traditional Irish food such as corned beef & cooked cabbage,drinking some alcohol of your choice (possibly tinted green) listening and playing the traditional music and dancing the Irish Jig. For this day, many of us are Irish (even if we have no Irish heritage)...it is simply a tribute to the country & the patron saint. AND we try to wear green, color taken from the Irish shamrock. Those who are found without green on their person....well, there is a little penalty they pay...whoever sees them without green, may give them a pinch... in an appropriate area of their body!( No elaboration on that statement! I know, disappointing but no time, got to go and have my green beer with Candykid.)
Here's a toast given for St Patricks Day: "May the roof above us never fall in and may we friends beneath it never fall out."

RE: We have lost a true CS Lady.

I did not know her but she wrote "Man must be able to evaluate small things in life to be happy"....when writing this she stated that she was happy at that time. So may she rest in peace ...she traveled a long road but sounds like she found some happiness along the way.

THANKS to all for adding to this blog

GJ... .I saw that StarTrek episode about Spock.. then the writers needed to make all of his fans happy..... and so he was miraculously brought back to rejoin crew and to take up his role on the Enterprise! What would the series have been without Spock? Well,glad we never found out!

. ... Now, Spock has taken the final..."Beam me up"
.Salut to you,Leonard Nimoy, from those who shared your world of Star Trek!

RE: More Nature Captured on Camera

Smiler...u have a great talent with your camera....lovely photos and subject matter! I think I know the yellow flowers in photo you are asking what they are....resemble a type of sedum that blooms in the yellow very star-like blooms. It is a plant fond of dry, hot environments and that window box appears to be good place for it! Hope you will continue to share with us!
