Luck of the Irish, Avila style.

Here are the shamrocks, all green and bright,

Here's the new door, all shiny, too white.

Here are the windows with green galore.

And here are mom and Anni, inside the door.

The bulletin board was decorated with care.

Walk beneath this doorway only if you dare.

Even the mantal was sporting the green,

And so was the farm box that came in between.

Baker Alex is making green cookies to munch.

And we're back to the shamrocks, here by the bunch!

Happy Paddy's Day everyone. We had Irish lattes and green eggs for breakfast. Tea was Irish with shamrock cookies (thanks baker Alex!). Dinner was a variation on corned beef and cabbage with carrots and new potatoes (crockpotted, then briefly roasted) with good Irish ale and whole wheat raisin soda bread (thanks assistant baker Anni). Delish!
