Happy Saint Patrick’s Day!

I just went to Writers Almanac and not only read a lovely poem about one of my favorite things–snow–but also the history of St. Patrick’s Day.

Are you wearing green? I am. I also spiked my son’s milk this morning with green food coloring–about the only time all year I use food coloring in food. How do you celebrate the day?

Also learned that on this day, in something like 1901, Vincent Van Gogh had his first major show–and he was 11 years dead. Yes, I know. Fame after death is a depressing thought, but hey, it’s better than nothing, right?
