Easy Being Green

I’ve had a shamrock plant for close to eight years now.  I find it to be a pretty happy plant - keep it from getting thirsty and it will grace your kitchen window with its sun-seeking leaves and frilly white flowers.

To me, it represents part of my heritage, but it also reminds me of a place faraway that I one day hope to visit.  In my mind, the rolling hills of Ireland are as green as the leaves on my shamrock plant.  I cannot wait to see those hills in person one day!

For now, though, the green of the shamrock will have to tide me over…

Oh, in case you’re interested, I’ve just opened a new blog here at WordPress where I can write to my heart’s content.  Anyone who’s interested, you can also find me at “Late to Life” in the very near future.
