Nature: Clovers and Shamrocks
May your blessings outnumber
The shamrocks that grow,
And may trouble avoid you
Wherever you go.

Fifteen years ago this evening I was in a Galway pub drinking Guinness, and being That One Irish-American Tourist asking for Whiskey in the Jar from the band. I love my other heritages but for some reason I resonate the strongest with my Irish. Seeing the Cliffs of Moher in person changed me forever. I'm glad to finally be home in NE but there will always be a part of me that aches for Ireland.

Recently did a bow haul. I got a bunch of Valentine's ones (of course, it's February), a few more Saint Patrick's, some Easter ones, and finally a Watermelon one for summertime!
Feeling the urge to buy some of those sweetheart themed ones bc I forgot to.

We’re celebrating Saint Patrick’s Day in a big way, with one of the largest known deer: the Irish Elk (Megaloceros giganteus)! It was originally discovered in bog deposits in Ireland. This megafauna could weigh up to 1,500 pounds (680 kg) and its antlers could reach an incredible 13-ft- (4-m-) spread. Once ranging from western Europe to China, this animal died out some 10,000 years ago. However, at least one population, living in Russia’s Ural Mountains, managed to survive until about 7,770 years ago, long after the end of the Pleistocene.
See the Irish Elk up close in the Museum’s Hall of Advanced Mammals! We’re open daily from 10 am-5:30 pm. Plan your visit.

The only difference between leprechauns and sea otters is sea otters have sharper teeth.
