Happy St. Patrick's Day! Are you wearing your green? Many of us here at Hammock are. While we may not all have Irish ancestors in our family tree, we love any excuse to get together with friends and family and indulge in good food, drink and stories—which is exactly how many of us like to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day.

Soon (though not soon enough), winter weather will start to disappear and spring will be ushered in by budding plants and flowers and, for the green thumbs among us, the first hints of a garden.
