'Tis the Season

...for wearing green. Now that I'm easing back to work, it's time to take up the "pen" and try to re-establish the writing routine I've been developing and redeveloping for some time now. So, what better day to start than on my namesake's feast day? Baked a soda bread (or soddy bread, Abuelo?) for my dad today, thinking about one of my favorite stories, and looking forward to wearing my green-striped over-the-knee socks over orange and white swirl tights again tomorrow...the same I wore for the Cape Cod St. Patrick's Day parade a couple of weeks ago. Because I'm a patriotic daughter of Eire like that -- yes, I am.
