Tá súil agam go raibh lá iontach agat. Is aobhinn liom an week-end – cad fútsa? Tá seachtain drámiocht ar súil i mBallinamore anois. Nilim cinnte ach b’fheidir go ndeachadh muid chun cúpla a fheicáil. Tá mo spell-checker ag dul ballistic – níl sé in ann gaeilge a thuiscint ar cur abith. Ní me cinnte go bhfuil…

Made me smile! I had a very rough day and you reminded me about the simple beauty of nature. I need to just chill out and think about the bigger picture rather than being in a funk. Did you take these pictures? They are fantastic!
Thank you for participating in Blog Gems!
Thanks for popping over here Jean and glad to have been able to bring some of natures simple pleasure to you on a rough day.

As for the Blog Gems – thank you for taking it on and giving Jen a well deserved break.
