The following poem was submitted by David P Carroll:

Happy Saint Patrick’s Day.

On Saint Patrick’s day
A joyful sound and with
Shamrocks mall around
And little children’s laughter
Fills the air and we’ll
Celebrate Saint Patrick’s day
This Irish feast a welcome sight
A beacon shining pure and bright
And family and friends will
Gather round in a joyful parade
Waving Irish flags on Saint Patrick’s day
And stories are been told and
Happiness and memories are made

From Washington to Capital hill
The celebrations hold their sway
And the little leprechauns are laughing
Hiding in the fields of the morning mist
The Irish spirit strong and ever true
A heritage of legends shining bright (more…)

from H Street, NE back in THE DAY

Sticking around or heading out of town – hope everyone has a safe and meaningful long weekend.

Catch you on Tuesday.

And if we do get a legit snow on Sunday – be sure to send your snow/dogs/cats/miscellaneous photos to us at [email protected] (please include pet name and your neighborhood) and we’ll be sure to post them when I get back online. [Ed. Note: For those who sent pics from last storm that didn’t get posted, you’re in the regular animal fix queue and will be posted eventually. I promise! Will email ya the day I post so you don’t miss it.]

Stay warm!

Hope everyone has a safe, fun, festive and/or relaxing eve!!

Here’s to fond memories and still great hopes.

See you in 2025!!

Thanks to Karen for sending from Capitol Hill: “holiday whimsy in an old call box”
