A shamrock on the door.

A turtle wearin’ O’ the green.

Another door shamrock.

Here is a wall shamrock and wreath.

Our friend, the armadillo.

St Patrick’s Day and Cancer survivor’s flags.

Shamrock welcome.

The best display ever for St Patrick’s Day.

  4. There’s so many items on the menu that are on my favorites list, I’ll have to many a few trips! Your neighborhood, once again, did not fail us for their decorations!!

  7. I sing that song to my grandson, along with hand movements. He loves it! We don’t have any decorations in the neighborhood yet, but I will make an Irish Guinness stew for the 15th.
    Fired pickles and a corn beef sandwich, please (I’ll pretend I am not on a diet).

  10. Your town seems like a great place to live, John. Whatever holiday happens, your community always seems to get into the spirit.

  12. I love every single decoration, John! The more, the better! No one decorates for St. Patrick’s Day around here, more’s the pity. I’ve always enjoyed the day, especially since it’s also my birthday! Yep. I’ll be 79 years old on Friday, and seeing lots of shamrocks and Celtic knots and GREEN stuff would make me very happy! Love the music you shared, too! Happy St. Patrick’s Day, my friend! Here’s to the wearin’ o’ the green! 😀 🧩(That last one is the closest thing to a shamrock I could find!!!🙄 Oh, well. At least it’s GREEN. 😂)

  15. I love the decorations, John. What fun! I’m especially fond of the turtle and the armadillo. I noticed one decorated home in our area, but I think there are many hidden Irish in cowboy land, including me. ☘️

  19. In all my years, I’ve never seen people decorate for St. Patrick’s Day!!! Must be a lot of Irish ancestry in your neighborhood! That said … I’d like the Fish ‘n Chips with a side order of fried pickles … I’ll share both, for I cannot eat more than half of either! I loved the turtle, and the adorable leprechaun, but the house alight in green and all the lawn decorations takes the prize! Thanks for this fun jaunt through da hood, John!!! I had great fun!

  21. Thanks for the tour! There aren’t any St. Patrick’s Day decorations in our neighborhood so far. Loved the turtle and armadillo! The simple ones were nice too. Thanks for brunch – happy I didn’t have to cook.

  24. Jeez. I opened this post, got busy doing stuff, thought I had responded. My bad!
    I love that your town celebrates every and anything! I guess it’s true, we’re all a little Irish on St. Paddy’s Day!
