The Month of March
is a time of transition
as most of us switch from a long cold winter
into beautiful sunny warm spring weather.
It is a month that we look forward to seeing GREEN.
Whether we are Irish or not...it's also
a month that makes us think
of Ireland.

First off, I am sorry about your step-mom. It is hard to lose family. I love this post. I especially love the photo with the Border Collie. So pretty. I have never been to an English Pub but if you are ever in my area I would be happy to take you to our St. James Gate Irish Pub. Great food and beer. Have a wonderful Sunday, Hugs, Deb=^..^=x5
Oh Maura--these pictures are beautiful and bring back wonderful memories for me. I can tell you I’ve been to several Irish pubs and there is nothing like it on earth. They have little fireplaces with burning sod that I think smells so wonderful. They are often, dark and made of stone and you feel the age and history as you sit in the chairs. A pint is a way of life and the people are so jovial and welcoming. I just love Ireland--I could live there in one of these beautiful thatched cottages for sure :)
Great post friend,
MM
We holiday in Ireland every year! A fabulous place with wonderful people!! But rugby fans must have felt they were robbed yesterday!!

HI Maura, How lovely, cheerful and beautiful. You are really moving along and your blog has become a work of art. Cheers! yes, Ireland, let’s go! I’m all for that...I’d never want to leave.
Hello Maura
Somehow I missed the post about your step-mom and I'm sorry to hear of her passing.
As for Ireland, I would love to travel there and see if I could trace some of my husband's family. Great photos you found and I've been wearing a shamrock lapel pin for a couple of days now.

My family has a rich Irish heritage..it is lovely to see beautiful photos of Ireland..love the music too. I'll definitely be thinking of Ireland this week!
Maura, I just love this post! My husband and Irish-American and we visited all of Ireland 6 yrs. ago for our 25th wedding anniversary-what a time to remember!! Enjoy the month of Green!!
Maura I am an Irish gal! I love Colcannon, what's not to love? Your pictures are a treat this morning. I am celebrating with the teeny bit of green that was in our yard yesterday but today it is surprisingly covered with SNOW. Enjoy your day at Lilac Lane Cottage!
What beautiful pictures! I think the first is my favorite.
Lovely photos...thanks for sharing. Although flying is not my favorite activity, I'd LOVE to visit Ireland somday! Until then, we'll eat some traditional foods and listen to some music...and yes, wear a bit o' green! -Mary
I loved seeing all the beautiful Irish photos! It's a beautiful country and I'd love to visit there someday. Enjoyed this post! I'm sorry about your step-mom, I missed that post somehow.
