Oh I wondered if we'd see Ireland here today. So glad that we did. I loved it when first posted and I love seeing it today. I even remember some of those photos, which I'm taking as a good sign.
Perfect post for today, Pat! Happy St. Pat's Day. Wishing many blessings today and every day! Today is actually hubby's and my 9th wedding anniversary! Not because we're Irish as you know ;o)...it was the only date available for our winter courthouse wedding--LOL! Happy Days ((HUGS))
What a glorious trip, Pat! And I love those bright doors! Just so picturesque. Here's wishing you a lovely St. Patrick's Day with bloggy friends! Hope it was lovely. Wish I could join you. Know that I did in spirit...
I just KNEW you would be off to the wonderful parade today! I hope you have a blast! I so enjoyed looking at some of your great photos from your Ireland trip! I recall your great shares last year!!
Your recipes on previous posts look yummy, too! I had my friends over yesterday for a Breakfast of Green and we fixed Irish Coffee! We'd never done that before---we all agreed it was yummy!
Stunning photos Pat, the Irish countryside is a thing of beauty to be sure. Happy Saint Patrick's Day, hope you had fun in the city and at the parade. hugs, Kathy.
Dear pat, These pictures were just wonderful! I've always wanted to go there so thank you for giving me a little peak. Your stew was wonderful! Thanks again for the recipe ♥ Happy Saint Patrick's Day!
I think Ireland is going to have to be on my must visit list now. I have an Irish ancestress and people always say that Southern California in the spring looks like Ireland!
Happy St. Patrick's Day, Pat!! My dream is to go to Ireland someday! I also found the information about the wild parakeets so interesting! I would never have imagined that they would be able to survive through these cold northeast winters!!... Donna @ An Enchanted Cottage
Hello and welcome!
I'm Pat, a lifelong New Yorker who has recently moved to a suburb of Denver in the beautiful state of Colorado, so that I can live close to my children and grandchildren. I look forward to learning many new things about my new "mile high" city and I will share them on my blog.
New York City will always be my second home, and I will also continue to share many posts about it.
My blog's name in Italian means a "Thousand Favorite Flowers." I chose this unusual blog name because researching and writing for my blog, and taking photogrpahs for it, is like another "memory flower" that I am collecting in my bouquet of life.
I hope you will enjoy your visit to my blog and that you will leave a comment so that I know you've been here.
Thanks!

And our first pure mountain day, warm, calm, cloudless, - how immeasurable it seems, how serenely wild! I can scarcely remember its beginning. Along the river, over the hills, in the ground, in the sky, spring work is going on with joyful enthusiasm, new life, new beauty, unfolding, unrolling in glorious exuberant extravagance, - new birds in their nests, new winged creatures in the air, and new leaves, new flowers, spreading, shining, rejoicing everywhere. - John Muir

Have a wonderful day!

Those pictures certainly revived my desire to travel to Ireland! Thanks for posting them.
I love your pictures of Ireland. Just beautiful! Leo is growing so and is absolutely gorgeous.
You had some beautiful weather when you were in Ireland. I wish I had seen Newgrange and Tara. My favorite spot was Cashel Rock.
Happy St. Paddy's Day!
I remember these beautiful photos Pat. That swinging bridge still gets me, the scenery is awesome! Happy St.Pat's Day to you and yours!
xox, Marie
I think Ireland is going to have to be on my must visit list now. I have an Irish ancestress and people always say that Southern California in the spring looks like Ireland!
Happy St Patrick's Day to you, too!
Happy St. Patrick's Day, Pat!! My dream is to go to Ireland someday! I also found the information about the wild parakeets so interesting! I would never have imagined that they would be able to survive through these cold northeast winters!!... Donna @ An Enchanted Cottage
Beautiful photos and colours!! Now I just have to go there!! :)
LOVED YOUR TOUR! so many excellent shots~ did you walk that bridge? that kind of thing terrifies me...
