Happy St. Patrick's Day

March 17th marks the day Irish and many non-Irish people celebrate St. Patrick's Day...a day, I believe should be officially declared a national holiday. I paid my tribute by wearing plenty of green (it's my favorite color...so it wasn't hard to find something from my wardrobe :)

The streets of NYC were flowing with people in green garments, and it was very pleasing to the eye. I made my way to the parade, which was taking place on 5th Avenue. Lots of cheering, bands playing, fireman and schools marching. It was a well organized event, and this year, the weather was actually perfect...

Below are some pictures. Please excuse the fact that they aren't that great. I just wasn't close enough to the front.

Separately, this evening, my toilet overflowed. Shucks. What a pain. Me being ever curious, I tried flushing the toilet again, hoping it would work, but OH NO, the water overflowed again. I spent the next 30 minutes cleaning up. So right now, I'm pretty grossed out. Tomorrow, I'll have to get someone to fix it. Anyway, I digress, do enjoy the pictures below.
  • The Irish Flag


  • US Flags...just the right amount of wind.
  • The Military

  • Band performing. While my intent was to focus my camera solely on the band, I became entranced and captivated by the two cute hats the people in front of me were wearing.


  • A Marching Band
