1. Daffodils....tulips....or really anything to do with Spring. Even though Fall is my favorite, Spring has always been a very close second. I love to see the buds on the trees, hear birds chirping, smell fresh air...the newness of life is beautiful...
Here are a few shots of flowers in the Ormeau Park (pronounced Ormo) across the street from us.
2. Our Anniversary!!!! We got married on the first day of Spring (yet another reason why I like the season) two years ago this Tuesday and it's been such a fun adventure! It's hard to believe it has been two years since that day, but we are excited for all that we've shared and all that is to come. We're taking an anniversary trip this week to see the south of Ireland. We promise to put up lots of pictures when we return!!!
3. March Madness!!!! Ever since I was a little girl I have loved to watch college basketball, particularly the Tarheels. My dad and I always cut the NCAA bracket out of the newspaper and put it on our fridge, updating it as the games were won. It's a fond memory of mine. Now my husband and I are filling out brackets and trying to catch games from here if we can. It's been fun so far....GO HEELS! :)
4. St. Patrick's Day! Maybe it's just the fact that I love green, but I've always enjoyed St. Patrick's Day. I should've been an elementary school teacher because obscure holidays tickle my fancy. I don't go all out for St. Patrick's Day mind you, but I wear my green and treat the day a little special. This year we've been here in Northern Ireland and decided to go to the city to see what was happening. It wasn't too festive, but there was a parade, some concerts, and they handed out shamrock flags to everyone. We also heard traditional Irish music and saw Irish dancing at the market. So, that was fun for the day, but other than the people attending the events, there wasn't much green around. They say that NYC celebrates the holiday more than they do here. Go figure!
"May your thoughts be glad as the shamrocks,
May your heart be as light as a song,
May each day bring you bright, happy hours,
That stay with you all the year long."
Cheers!
