Well Justin, your little friend is wearing clover not a shamrock. My ancestors are from Cork after contracting out for that little dustup for Robert the Bruce.
I have a pot of them in the window. A shamrock is a young sprig, used as a symbol of Ireland. Saint Patrick, Ireland’s patron saint, is said to have used it as a metaphor for the Christian Holy Trinity. The name shamrock comes from Irish seamróg, which is the diminutive of the Irish word seamair óg and simply means “young clover”

Saint Paddy has announced that he will be running a Wee Bit Late this year.
He’ll call as soon as his plane lands, though.

No luck of the Irish this St. Paddy’s Day! Drink your green beer at home and play some Irish music on your device….
