March Madness

A few nice days in March does a lot for a spring-like outlook - even though we know we still have to suffer winter -like weather. 

But, fortunately there is a lot to celebrate in March, such as the Ides of March........

.............the day when Julius Caesar's  friends assassinated him.

Mr. Bill challenged me to do the Ides themed table.

A few days later, with a few quick changes - we have St. Patrick's Day.........

.......and  are all set for a bit 'o Irish stew.

Even the tiniest leprechaun sized bouquet is a feast for the eyes these cold March days!

The Floating Tea Party Wears Green

St. Patrick's Day, and one of my daughters is still under the weather.  So the floating tea party puts on the 'wearing of the green' and makes a visit.

We had cupcakes, chocolates and green jelly beans in the boxes.  Paddy O'Cinnamon was offering his green jellies from the jar.

We had a few gate-crashers fresh in from a  romp in the woods.  But we put Mr. Bill to the task of barring the way.  If you want to come to my tea parties, you have to wash your faces and comb your fur.
