Chocolate eggs are as ubiquitous in Ireland at Easter as mince pies are at Christmas. Sharon and I both received Easter eggs today at work. I’m very happy about mine.

Even though it snowed today, Spring will win out.

Sharon’s burning it in preparation for our US tour.

We have a chance of snow in the forecast, but Dublin is definitely trying to burst out into Spring.

As mentioned before, we frequently visit St. Anne’s park on Saturdays. Yesterday was a perfect day for a stroll to the Red Stables Market.

I thought all the produce was particularly lovely.

Bill found a handy spring onion pocket in his backpack.

And Bill harvested some of the wild garlic he’s been keeping an eye on. [More about this later.]

And here’s a pic of some lovely purple flowers on our St. Patrick’s Day walk.
