This wonderful doorstop is in my collection. Photographed on St. Patrick's Day on one of my antique chairs. Today is the day for all things Irish. My iPhone photo.

Green Tea Latte for St. Paddy's Day
Matcha green tea and milk, lightly sweetened, served over ice. A mint sprig is a nice touch to carry out the green theme. Doesn't this look refreshing? Matcha is a finely ground, powdered, high quality green tea. A little goes a long way too, since it's very concentrated. This would be good to serve today if you live in a hot place. It's hard for me to realize everyone isn't having cold weather. via
Today's the Day for a Shamrock Float
McDonald’s® Shamrock Shake Copycat Recipe
3 cups good quality vanilla ice cream(I would use Breyers)
1-3/4 cups milk (or soy milk)
1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
Green food coloring if desired
1. Blend all ingredients in a blender until completely thick and smooth.
2. Pour into tall glasses, top with whipped cream and green sprinkles. I prefer iced tea spoons over straws with drinks like this or you could use both. Happy St. Paddy's Day! via
Dog on a Bed of Shamrocks
I scanned the dog from my antiquarian book on Royal Crests. After inserting the Irish proverb and putting it on a bed of shamrocks it became perfect for St. Patrick's Day. via

Goodnight (from Finland)
Finland must be the perfect place to really enjoy winter. This beautiful night on a lake was photographed by Mikko Lagerstedt.
