Well, these Lillies are MOSTLY green...more pix from the Philly Flower Show HERE.I have mixed feelings about St. Pats. I'm more proud of my Irish ancestry than ever but being sober now I feel it's a bit of a shame that the thing my countrymen are best known for is getting pissed. Have a look HERE for a bit more about Irish culture besides a Pint O' Guiness. No tha thar's aught wrang wi thae! Even when I was a proper drunk I didn't much care for Guiness tho. I couldn't readily drink 30 of them at a sitting so...
As for The Saint himself well...I've heard it said that the legend of him driving snakes from Ireland's shores is a metaphor for his persecution of Pagans. Not sure if that's true but I will go so far as to say that the Catholic Church has much to answer for in Ireland and abroad, but then again so does all of organized religion.
A dear friend at the doctor for her 2nd mammogram in a week. Apparently they wanted another look. Since she already survived breast cancer once we are none too happy about them wanting another look. Doubly so as they won't say WHY but apparently they never do. Anyway I'm worried and I'm praying hard for knowledge of God's will and the strength to carry that out fearlessly no matter what. It is not easy.
EDIT: THE BOOBIES ARE OK!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU GOD!
