An Irish Poem to Get Things Going

With Easter coming so early this year, Saint Patrick's Day just hasn't had its usual prominence in my thinking.  This year's celebration will be toned down a bit.  I've almost settled on my Saint Patrick's Day Menu.  I'll post it in a day or two and then share the recipes with pictures later on.

Thoughts

God's will would I do,
My own will bridle;

God's due would I give,
My own due yield;

God's path would I travel,
My own path refuse;

Christ's death would I ponder,
My own death remember;

Christ's agony would I meditate,
My love to God make warmer;

Christ's cross would I carry,
My own cross forget;

Repentance of sin would I make,
Early repentance choose;

A bridle to my tongue I would put,
A bridle on my thoughts I would keep

God's judgment would I judge,
My own judgment guard;

Christ's redemption would I seize,
My own ransom work;

The love of Christ would I feel,
My own love know.

How about some pictures of my plate rail and curtains? 

I've had my Irish curtains and plate rail up for several weeks already.  I was tired of winter and knew that I'd have to change them over to Easter the day after Saint Patrick's Day, so they went up right after Valentine's Day.

Here you go: 

 

 

 

The photos aren't great, but you get the idea.

I love it! I'm snoopy, and I love seeing inside other people's homes to see how they've done things.

Truth is Kim - you're more Irish than I am :-)

I always like to see what's up with your seasonal plates and valance changes. What fun!
