HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY !!!!!  I've been up since dawn , cooking blathers and boiling blathers , and I've finally come to the end of today's posts.!!!!Lots of neat stuff today    -----   so if I'm not up and running tomorrow , fear not----  that only means that I haven't crawled all the way home yet  ---- It just doesn't get any better than St. Patrick's Day !!

I just thought of this , as I was closing down the blog for the day , but it was so good I had to come back for it   -----  AND HERE HE IS  (wait for it , wait for it ----  )   BLARNEY !!!!!!!     ---  so what do I get , say on a 1 to 10 scale ????

  By the way , I have received quite a few interesting E-mails yesterday and today , thanks Ned and others , but I can't transfer them , and tech support is goofing off today ,but I hope to have them posted soon   ---   didn't want anyone to think that they weren't appreciated !!

  This should be at the end of the pictures   ---   Oh  well

   Yeah , I could use a swig right about now  -----

Just another Leperchan

What other people get this treatment ???

  Keeping the elephants from getting antsy from just standing still !

  Would this be considered a Shamrock maze instead of a corn maze ???

   Brings a tear to me eye  ----   yours too ???

   Great photographer's shadow !

  Must be a picture of Ireland   ----   or maybe the first picture of Heaven    ----   they look so much alike !

Carson / Barnes on the parade grounds   ---  see the colt tied off to #99 ???    she belongs to Babe , of my team of Skip and Babe  ---  those 3 were a hot and a half    ----  the 3 of us are possibly behind #11 in this shot !

  It's 10 A.M. here   ----   all the bars should now be open for St. Patrick's day !!

  Now that I think about it , maybe this was an inkling of what Heaven will be like

   Dear readers , yesterday I made the serious mistake of asking ( what I thought was a retorical question) what in the world  " Cracklins " were , thinking all the while it had to do with chickens  who could roll their R's   -----   this then was sent in     -----I'm so sorry ----

   I'm probably the only Irish blogger in the world , who , on St. Patrick's Day , is blogging food stuff like this instead of about corn beef and cabbages !

  Thanks to our good friend Hal , for all this information   ----  I'll be back  --  I need a cheese burger !

   Ahh , the memories these bring back    ----  I should also like to point out that many , many people seem to produce green pancakes for their children's breakfast , with no lasting re-precussions !

   The famous Irish Talking Hats !

  Green fireworks beat green beer ! Fact !!!

My good friend , Tom , with the Irish flag   ----  I wish he was still around  ---  I miss him !

Darth Vader goes to school without his bagpipes !

All of a sudden , I have been overwhelmed with links to this guy on U-Tube !!!Thank you all for thinking of me   ----   I don't get the connection between Darth and me , but  ---   whatever !

  Lets check this out !

Here's a guy wearing a hat , playing bagpipes , and riding a unicycle !!  Hats are tricky !

Oh my !!!  What could be causing so much excitement on a circus site ?????

   Ah   ----   this explains it !!!

  Well look what just got published !!

THose are big cages , but that single axel still surprises me !

  This has to be non-union   money

   Now if I were an artist , I would call this shot , " Still Life "

  DON'T LET THE TRAIN TOUCH YOUR PIPES !!!

A lot of bellys around here tend to  " bend"

   Bob , Hal , Casey , -----QUICK !!

??????

Heigh Ho , heigh ho , it's off to work we go -------

This sure has a Southern sound to it   ----  do we want to know just what a " Skillet " is , or why any one in their right mind would want to lick one ???

  Hup , hup , hup,hup ----

   This is one of those double roller tent trucks , easily mistaken for a single roll canvas truck   ---   at least around here !

  Say , you know the other bagpiper on our block , who always practices outside ???   I haven't seen him  ---  since the day the people living next door to him went on vacation !
