St Patrick's Day

We didn't do much in the way of celebrating the Roman Catholic Feast of St Patrick this year. Usually my dad makes an unbelievably tasty corn beef with mash potatoes and cabbage. But since he lives in Colorado and we are in California we missed out. Emma and I went to Balboa Park in the morning and then had lunch with Daddy. In the afternoon I took these pictures of Emma in the back garden. My good friend Julie made this lovely dress for Emma and I thought it was perfect to wear on this day since Julie's husband is from Ireland. We didn't attend church since it isn't a holy day of obligation unless you live in Ireland.



Fun Fact
So where does the 3 leaf clover come in ... Legend credits St. Patrick with teaching the Irish about the concept of the Trinity by showing people the shamrock, a 3-leaved clover, using it to highlight the Christian belief of 'three divine persons in the one God'
