Shades of Shamrocks

On March 17th, be on the lookout for mischevious bands of leprechauns, sporting oversized hats, and kicking up their heels.  In past years, they have been spotted sprinkling dyes and powders into our city fountains and rivers, turning them into various shades of green, all in celebration of St. Patrick’s Day.  If you are not wearing green this Thursday, you may be pinched (with affection)……..its a tradition.  

Shamrocks are symbols of good luck, and will be showing up in the most unexpected places this week.  Get inspired with a fresh picking of this season’s liveliest shades of green-
