St. Patrick's Day Tradition

 For a number of years we have attended a geocaching event in Fountain Hills at noon on St. Patrick's Day. The city of Fountain Hills adds green dye to the water that is pumped to the fountain for a fun display of shades of green.

11:16 AM the fountain is quiet


12:01.11 PM - Where's the green?


12:01.35 PM - Thar she blows!
