This post is a tribute to the late Judith Fuller, a good neighbor who used to display this enigmatic roadside banner at the head of her driveway on and around St. Patrick’s Day every year. The image was taken during the snowy year that she died.
One of my many small regrets is not having asked Judith (who had a searing sense of humor) what was the message of this banner’s weird illustration? Why a flamingo wearing a Leprechaun hat and dancing on (stomping?) shamrocks? Was it “Everything is (or should be) Irish – in the poetic sense – around this time of year?” (Image taken in Brooklin, Maine, on March 14, 2019.) Click on the image to enlarge it.
