Happy St Patrick’s Day !

Happy St Patrick’s Day to everyone!   I have ancestors from Wales, but as far as I know none from Ireland – but we’re all Irish on St Patrick’s Day, is that not right?

This enormous green beer balloon with a three-leaf clover* adorns the Harp Lager (Irish beer) display in the grocery store here by me. Three or four leaf clovers? Well, it’s usually three. The four leaf variety occurs only in 1 in 10,000 little clovers. Four-leaf clovers were Celtic charms, presumed to offer magical protection and ward off bad luck.
