The Wonders of Our Senses

As I was blog hopping the other day I ran across a neat post written by Carrie at cottagecozy. I decided to borrow her idea(with her permission of course.) This is my version----- TASTE......

It is that time of year when these little gems appear. These are from Walgreen's and I like them because have a lot of my fav flavors. YUM! TOUCH...

As I was taking this picture, I could feel the wind on

my hands and face. It was a cool breeze which got

warmer as the day went on.

SIGHT... Today we needed a pair of these...

Because we were the recipients of this...

Which caused this and that...

Smell...

Ken and I stopped in one of our favorite bakeries

today---The Clock Tower Bakery. It is located

in downtown Overland Park, Ks. They sell a wide

variety of YUMMIES. You can see from above

that the Snickerdoodles are HUGE, they have

cupcakes--we bought two Red Velvet ones and

two cinnamon puffs. The SMELLS wafting from

the open kitchen draw you in and before you know

it you're at the counter ordering. They have pizza

too. :) Hearing...

When the wind blew today, the musical notes

of the chimes could be heard all around the

deck.

What were your senses up to today?

St. Partick's Day---March 17th is the day

honoring St. Patrick. He was a missionary

credited for converting the Irish to

Christianity and is also known for

"driving the snakes" (spirits) out of

Ireland.

In America--it's a day of wearing GREEN

and celebrating! The first American

celebration took place in Boston, MA

in 1737.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Items associated with St. Patrick's Day:

Color GREEN-because it is the color of

Spring, Ireland and the Shamrock.

LEPRECHAUN-Irish Fairy (little body)

It is said he make shoes and brogues.

Keep an eye on him (if you find him)

he'll lead you to his treasure--if you

don't, he'll vanish and...

BLARNEY STONE-A stone set in the

wall of Blarney Castle tower in the

village of Blarney. Kissing the stone is

said to give the kisser persuasive

eloquence (Blarney).

family. It is said to have been picked

by St. Patrickto explain the mystery

of the Trinity.

Kansas City loves to celebrate and one of

KC's favorite celebrations is the St.

Patrick's Day Parade! It goes through

the downtown area. Those who are true

Irish and those that are Irish for the day

line the parade route-enjoying the floats,

marching bands, people and animals in

the parade.

Then it's off to the Irish pubs and

restaurants for more celebrating!

fun skiddle daddle over to "Garden

of Daisies" (on my sidebar) she has

had several cool posts about the holiday.

Have Fun!!

The Donald

Ken and I were so excited because

the new season of Celebrity

Apprentice began tonight!

It was a great show with AN

interesting cast of characters!

The Donald was his usual surly self

with his lovely children by his side.

Last year's winner--Joan Rivers

made an appearance this evening

too.

For those not watching, the

women's team lost, so one of them

was fired. Carol Liefer was the first

to go. This season proves to be very

intriguing to say the least.

Check it out for yourself--Sundays.
