…here. The practical Lisa knows that airfare for a family makes this prohibitive. The dreamer Lisa hopes that somehow magically lower rates will appear on Aer Lingus’ website at any minute! 😉 Hey, a girl can dream, right? Slainte, Lisa
The sheep post yesterday has put me in a mind to discuss a further aspect of farm animals, purely from a non-farm girl perspective. Cows are big. And you don’t really realize that until you are face to face with one, or surrounded by a traveling pack of them in your subcompact car on an astonishingly narrow Irish road. If one of these bovines had decided to take a sit down on our hood, it would have been all over for the poor little car. 😉 Luckily, greener pastures were calling, and their hooves kept on moving.
Moral of the story? If you run into a farm animal today, take a picture. Start a blog. You never know. haha Slainte, Lisa
P.S. For those of you on the edge of their seats to hear how the sheep contest turned out, the climbing sheep of Carrantuohill and the grazing sheep of Dingle are in a dead heat tie. Please vote to put an end to this madness once and for all!
It has been far too long since I have had a sheep post, and I will now rectify that situation forthwith! For your viewing and voting pleasure, I present three sheep pictures. Please vote for your favorite in the comments section below. Of course, I know that some of you will vote based on scenic value, and others will vote purely for the look of the sheep, but that’s ok. I’m no scientist. 😉 I will now let the sheep speak for themselves, and may the best sheep win! Slainte, Lisa

Growing in a magical garden, bigger than life, set apart for a time while we walked there…flora from a fairytale. May your Monday be green and growing, if not in colours then in love. Slainte, Lisa
*All pictures taken at Blarney Castle Gardens, County Cork Ireland. Although a huge tourist attraction, it is definitely worth a visit even for the gardens alone. 🙂
These giant fake rocks are in the port of St. Maarten in the Caribbean. This port was enhanced after big storms destroyed much of the port infrastructure in 1995. These composite rocks help to protect the port from further water damage. Although I admire their ingenuity and practicality, they just aren’t the same as real rocks. No crags, no dents, no character. Poor rocks that aren’t rocks. They’re trying their best though; I guess I should cut them some slack. 😉 Have a wonderful weekend! Lisa
