I Brake for Barns with Blue Doors

This should really read:  I backtrack, pull over, and run across the street in the drizzle for barns with blue doors.

Post note: In honor of St. Patrick’s Day, watch me reading My Grandmother’s Brouge (in an Irish accent) at the Café del Sol Spoken Word Night on St. Patrick’s Day 2007 HERE.

    Colleen! I have found you. And the poet Josh. And his little brother Dylan. I can hardly believe it. 🙂

    I live on Facebook but I blog, too. My ballet blog, though dated now, will lead you to my current one, which is never finished.

    Drafts by the score are hidden away, awaiting their moment in the sun. I’m still too much of a perfectionist to get things published on time.

    I see that your blog is already dressed for today, March 17th!

    With love in my heart,

    Marga ♥

    This might just be my new favorite barn picture of all times…..that blue door is amazing!

    This video is my new favorite St. Patrick’s Day moment!

    Ah, sweet lassie, your blog is green. ‘May the best day of your past be the worst day of your future.’

    Ireland is my muse for this blog, which is why I purposely chose green. When I started blogging I wanted to let my Irish storyteller’s hair down and so dedicated it to that by choosing a blog profile photo is of me in Ireland with a shamrock pinned to my sweater.
