5 Pictures: St. Patrick's Day

Happy Monday...and belated St. Patrick's Day!! Wahoo! I have always loved wearing green on St. Patrick's Day, and now I also enjoy a Guinness or a green beer too. Who doesn't love cheap green tinted beer? This St. Patrick's Day was relaxing for us. We took in the warm weather, enjoyed some Grolsch beer (now we can use the bottles for homemade salad dressing!), made a nice breakfast, and overall celebrated the onset of spring. Here are a few pictures from our St. Patrick's Day. How did you spend the green holiday?

Green for St Patrick's Day

I am a huge fan of holidays! Especially those holidays that you can dress up for, which is most actually. I'll take any excuse to don a color that I don't usually wear, or a hat that would normally look out of place. In college there were all sorts of opportunities to dress up for theme parties etc. Since being out of college though, I have found a lack in those types of parties and events. Luckily, San Francisco is one colorful city where anything goes. There doesn't need to be a special reason to wear something out of the normal, like monochrome green. I love that! For those of you who don't live in the Bay Area though, here is a gathering of fun green items (all under $80) to help you celebrate this St. Patrick's Day. Oh, and make sure you drink some green beer too!

Things to do in March

Happy March!! Wow, I can't believe it is March already. I am pleased to say that just a few days ago I started seeing blossoms in Oakland. Spring has arrived in the Bay Area, what a wonderful feeling! Not that we ever had winter, but tree blossoms mark fresh starts and warmer weather.

It is always fun at the beginning of the month to think about the things you want to do that month. Like new years resolutions for each month...but not necessarily things to improve on, just things to do and experience.

So here's a list of Things to do in March:

- Experience nature. Go on a hike in search of new life, blossoms, flowers, new growth.

- Make some green mint chocolate chip cookies.

- Plant asparagus and potatoes. They can handle an earlier planing date.

- Host a St. Patrick's Day brunch and serve green eggs and ham, or green pancakes.

- Make a Leprechaun Float: green sherbert & sprite (a shot of vodka if you need the extra kick!)

- Buy flowers for your kitchen table. It may not fully be spring yet, but fresh flowers will help.

- Try a new coffee shop, or a new coffee/hot drink. Once it warms up you won't want to sip that hot drink, so enjoy it now.

- Find a cute green dress for St. Patties Day.

- Try yoga, or do more yoga. (Bathing suit season it coming!)

- Photograph these things: lines, shadows, architecture, laughing, green.
