St. Patty or St. Paddy?

Happy Saint Patrick's Day

to ya from Amelia Island's Goodbye Lie series characters  Michael Dunnigan, Miss Ella, Breelan, Carolena, Pat, Marie and Aunt Noreen!  Oh,  and me, too, Jane Marie.  

 

I also want to make certain we all say the abbreviated version of this annual Irish greeting correctly.  It's Happy St. Paddy's Day NOT Happy St. Patty's day, since Patty is short for Patricia!  After all, Saint Patrick was a fella! 

 

 

And just in time for the holiday, see the photo below. I was looking over our courtyard garden and found this sweet little shamrock plant growing between cement and metal!
