Tea Time Tuesday St. Patrick’s Day Edition

St. Patrick’s Day is just around the corner, so I figured it is the perfect time for Tea Time Tuesday St. Patrick’s Day Edition. Grab a cup of tea, a good book of poetry, and join us for some shamrock fun.

Featured Poem

St. Patrick’s Day by Jean Blewett

There’s an Isle, a green Isle, set in the sea,

     Here’s to the Saint that blessed it!

And here’s to the billows wild and free

     That for centuries have caressed it!

 

Here’s to the day when the men that roam

     Send longing eyes o’er the water!

Here’s to the land that still spells home

     To each loyal son and daughter!

 

Here’s to old Ireland—fair, I ween,

     With the blue skies stretched above her!

Here’s to her shamrock warm and green,

     And here’s to the hearts that love her!

Our Table

I had good intentions to pick up all kind’s of festive St. Patrick’s Day tableware, but I just didn’t get around to it. I don’t think the kiddos minded too much though since they had huge shamrock marshmallow treats to snack on.

For our special snack today we made Shamrock Treats. To make your own Shamrock Treats you will need:

• 1 box Special Edition Lucky Charms (the marshmallows are all shamrocks)
• 3 tbsp butter
• 1 bag of marshmallows

Directions

1. Melt butter in large sauce pan over low heat. Add marshmallows and stir until melted and blended.
2. Add Lucky Charms cereal. Stir until coated.
3. Using buttered spatula, press mixture evenly and firmly in buttered cake pan. 

Thank you for joining us for Tea Time Tuesday St. Patrick’s Day Edition…

I hope you all have a fun filled St. Patty’s Day. Don’t forget to wear green!
