"Never iron a four-leaf clover, because you don't want to press your luck". ~Author Unknown

May the road rise up to meet you, 

may the wind be ever at your back. 

May the sun shine warm upon your face 

and the rain fall softly on your fields. 

And until we meet again, 

may God hold you in the hollow of his hand.

All photos from my visit in 2006 - where the land is greener than green, and the locals treat you like an old neighbor.  Happy St. Patrick's Day!
