Happy St Paddy's month!

I just realized I haven't posted in 2 months. We're still doing much-needed repairs on our new home and trying to get them all finished before summer so we can get back to a normal life again. With all the crazy stuff going on in the world, normal is something we crave. I'm still plugging away at the next 2 novels, which is always a challenge with the house stuff going on.

That said, it's March, which means spring will be showing off very soon and flowers are already starting to bloom around us. Plus, as a descendant of Irish immigrants, and here are a lot of us, the wearing o' the green is always a fun day! We make a fun veg version of a traditional Irish dish or dessert on St Paddy's Day. And the entire month, I focus my genealogy research on my Irish ancestors, as well as my Scottish lines, since the two intermingled quite a bit in the past. 

As a young child, my great-grandmother convinced me that a leprechaun lived in the bushes outside her house and I would spend hours looking for the little guy. I think the adults just wanted time to themselves but I loved exploring the bushes, flowers and trees on her property. She had fruit and nut trees that I could climb and I would pretend I was in a forest and make up stories in my head. A precursor to my eventual writing career, I suppose. 

Stay safe! Happy March and Happy St Paddy's Day!
