If you're like me, you probably won't be eating out a lot for the next few weeks, and possibly months, while COVID-19 rears its ugly head here in the states. Instead, I've decided to bring back how I've spent St. Patrick's Day in the past.
A rainbow of shamrocks graced my dining room table as I shared tea with my dear friend Julia from Stamping Ground who sent this tea to me. It was as delicious as it looked, too.
For this St. Patrick's Day celebration it was all about the green. There was a Leprechaun (pistachio) muffin on a green plate, green kisses, and green tea in a green Depression glass that sat on a green crocheted holder,Now it's your turn to wear the green (or not). You may share photos, a place you visited, an empty cup, a full cup, teapot, or mug, movies, postcards, books, magazines, sketches, mixed media, drawings, paintings, tags, scrapbooking, or other art that is digital, hybrid, or traditional, as long as it in some way relates back to a drink, any drink. Regardless, please share below, then Bleubeard and I, along with the rest of the T gang will be by to visit. St. Patrick will not be joining us, though. However, Bleubeard would like to remind you that your photos may be taken at any time, not just on Tuesday.
You may have noticed, I'm having trouble staying on the internet. I've contacted my internet provider (AT&T) and they are sending someone out tomorrow (Tuesday) to determine the problem. Hopefully, I'll be around after that. BTW, this seems to happen every time it rains for more than a day in my area. If that isn't bad enough, more rain is predicted for Thursday through Sunday. I may be doing the backstroke if and when I leave my house.

That muffin looks sooo yummy and so does the tea ~ yes quarantined here for a while too ~ glad I took myself out last weds. for coffee. I'll share my post tomorrow. Blessings & Happy St. Patty's Day!
Nice memories, Elizabeth. Your muffin looks yummy.
Happy T-Day! Eileen xx
Happy St. Patrick’s day tomorrow!
Oh I love your tea, and sweets-perfect-Happy T and St Patrick's Day
I love how tea was all about the green! Very clever!
Yup, the days of going out are going to be on hold. New Hampshire has closed all restaurants except for drive through, pick up or delivery. No eating in. Being in my classroom is done for awhile now too, at least 3 weeks. Scary days are here. But your tea and your muffin both look good. Perfect for the wearing of the green, or the eating and drinking of the green. Hope your day is happy. Hugs-Erika
Love that tablecloth, and a pistachio muffin was always my favorite kind:) Happy T day!
Memories work too. It's a crazy time we are moving into. We all have to learn to be flexible. I think you likely have that one nailed down with your "Queen of Free" title. :)
Tea and trimmings so comforting in these uncertain times. Thank your for a calm post. Stay well.
Yes. It is weird.
Life has to go on, though.
And it does! Funny: First coin I scanned fits to your post! And it´s about luck, too!
Nice memories Elizabeth. The pistachio muffin sounds delicious. I'm not a fan of green tea though, I find it too bitter. Enjoy the day.
Hi Elizabeth, I think your muffin sounds delicious, a good way to celebrate St Patricks day, sorry to hear you are still having problems with the internet, it can be annoying when you are in the middle of something.
Lovely artwork, love the four leaf clovers.
Happy T Day

Difficult times for us all Elizabeth, it was good to see your revisits and the spiced apple sounds a lovely flavour for a tea blend. I hope you don't get to much more rain and that the internet provider can get you on line again. In the more remote parts of the UK the service is poor and could get worse as more folk are told to work from home.
Happy T day wishes to you and to Bleubeard and Squiggles.

If it’s a green muffin, it must be pistachio! Our local market makes those. The store is appropriately called Murphy’s, and always has a store-wide St. Patrick’s Day Party. Everyone stops by for a slice of green Irish cake, Irish Soda Bread, Irish trinkets like hats, balloons, necklaces, a live roving Irish music band, a harpist, and no one goes home without a Shamrock plant or two. It’s an annual town event, but not this year, sadly. We shall surface on the other side!
Happy St Patrick's Day! I didn't know it was today. (It's not celebrated here).
Your St P's display is lovely. Spiced apple is delicious, I know. And it was very kind of Julia to send it to you.
But you could have had green tea to make it truly 'green'. I seem to remember you are not a tea person, so it would only have been for the photo, lol.
Now you and Sally will miss going out for lunch, I know I will. It's a sad situation the world is in now. Not good for the economy as many businesses that have had to close might go out of business, if it lasts long (which it might).
I'm glad I live in a small rural community and it is no hardship for us to stay home. (I'm also glad I don't have a tv. I would be sick and tired of all the updates. I read online newspapers from different countries and stay up to date that way)
Happy T-Day my friend,
Stay safe,
Lisca
Yes we will miss our outings too! We have bought a new cookery book that has sparked our enthusiasm to cook - since we both want to do it we are sharing preparation! Your celebration tea looks lovely! I'll be around to visit again soon! Hugs, Chrisx
Wow, such attention to detail with everything being green - fabulous 😀. I hope your having a great day celebrating - Happy T Day! Take care and stay safe! Hugs, Jo x
This muffin looks tempting and green tea is something I like.. specially jasmin green tea.. this little crocheted holder is so lovely....
So sorry about your internet problems! Hope it can be fixed soon again and no more rain will come to bring problems! Stay well Elizabeth! Happy T-Day and St. Patrick's Day!

That muffin looks delicious. I hope you had a nice Saint Patrick's Day Elizabeth. I'm with you about not eating out until the covid-19 situation is under control, which who knows when that will be. I couldn't believe the grocery stores around here still had their open buffet serve yourself type things still in use a week ago. (A small section where they had serving spoons and take out containers to fill with wings, olives, etc. in them.) When I went on Monday, they had finally stopped doing that.
I posted a T Tuesday post but forgot to link here roflol! My poor brain. Ah, well, I hope all went well with you and that we all stay healthy.
Sadly, i totally forgot to wear green and I forgot St Patrick with all the stress here in San Francisco. I am jealous of that scone!!!
Any celebration that includes food is fine with me (lol), and looks like you had some tasty treats there! Yummy! Hugs, RO
Gosh - I didn't realise I'd got SO far behind with visiting. Yum to the pistachio muffin and the spiced apple tea looks pretty delicious too.
