Hey there Rick - I'm glad to see you have a St. Patty's Day page.. St. Patrick would be proud.. lol.. What do you think we would do with a pot of gold these days? I know the Irish like to show the pot of gold, but we could not spend it at the store.. If someone took gold coins to a store somewhere to buy something, the store manager would probably call the police and the banks would think we're criminals! Oh, just want to mention that Applebees color their beer green just for the ocassion.. Probably food coloring.. Good night from ME
Hi Ric.5.30pm, Saturday here and the last day of February and our summer. Tomorrow (sunday) we officially commence Autumn. Well our weather pattern has changed since yesterday as a monsoonal band has now settled on us bringing some much needed rain. The first decent falls since last august. The farmers are rejoicing but unfortunately not the vigneron’s as vintage harvest of the grapes are in full swing and this rain is heavy enough to split the berries.At present although our temps is just on 70f the humidity is very high. It seems this rain will still be with us tomorrow. Certainly won’t have to water the garden for a few weeks:). It seems most everyone have set up a St Pat’s page so I’ll have to get busy and make one. I tend to like mine simple without the gimmicks. That’s just me:). What have you been doing? I guess it’s still not the conditions to be spending time outdoors. Those cute little squirrels would be appreciating the nuts that you feed them. Well guess it’s time to think of supper. Take care Ric and God bless. Pat.
