Told dh I don't know when I got to be such an old fuddy duddy hermit. I could stay home for weeks and never go to town! Well except food is a necessity...lol.
We have no lakes or rivers around here to dye..closest lake is about an hour away. We've been in such a drought, not much there, either.
There is a town about 100 miles from me, Shamrock, Texas. Every year they have a big St. Patrick's Day Festival.
Our newspaper publishes pics and a write up on it every year. They have the "Miss Irish Rose" contest, the "Donegal" contest- the winner has the best Irish beard..lol..
Just for you, Lynnie

Confession: It took this poster of the Donegal beard for me to realize that my mini-quilt swap from last month was all wrong. Wrong. Wrong. Wrong.
I made what I thought was a valiant attempt to portray a leprechaun and I (hangs her head in shame) gave him (cringe) a MUSTACHE.

I shall make amends next year!
