While doing my family ancestry a few years ago I discovered my mother's family had fled to Ireland from Scotland to avoid religious persecution. Once there they lived near the bogs.Fearing further persecution they changed the family surname to Boggs.
I had always loved St. Patrick's Day and with my red hair everyone always assumed I was Irish; so I proudly accepted the identity.
A special note to my crafting/decorating friends ~ I got this little "stained glass" piece of work from my local craft store for $2.50. I think it looks great hanging in my bay window.
I just love this little leprechaun sitting and reading his gardening book. I gave him a few coins in a shamrock basket. If I could only get him to change them to gold!
I've posted this rainbow picture previously; however, today seems right for a revisit.
Happy St. Patrick's Day!!
"May you always walk in sunshine.
May you never want for more.
May Irish angels rest their wings right beside your door."
