Green, glorious, cool and wet. . . . . . . .


. . . . . . . all expected as we travel through much of Ireland's
beautiful countryside over the next few weeks.

Waterproof boots and jackets packed,
umbrella at the ready!

So dear readers, off we go to the Emerald Isle. Am I ready? No, not quite. 
Will I ever be ready? Not if I stay here blogging!
I'll try to post now and then, and hopefully can share some photos
along the way. 


Yesterday in my garden.
Sad to leave when all is green and blooming . . . . . . . . . .
and the Carolina wrens have just built another nest in the wall basket
 by the front door under the COTTAGE sign.
Our front porch is very popular this Spring.
Sadly I'll miss seeing these new family members as they will most 
likely have hatched and fledged by the time I'm back!

Tonight we fly across the pond to Heathrow, London, then straight on to
 Dublin in the morning ~ returning by the same route beginning of June.
 Will catch up with you then.
Be good to yourselves.

  1. Safe and happy travels Mary - good prediction it is pouring with rain this morning!!! but hopefully it will clear in a couple of hours. Dublin's fair city is a great place to begin, lively, fun, interesting, and full of the blarney. Hope you get to see the Giant's Causeway in the north, it is spectacular. Take care both of you.

  13. I seem to be reading these posts backwards. Your garden and cottage are so wonderful - but you will have a grand time on your vacation - can't wait to see the photos.
