green day
Butler House Garden, Kilkenny
Happy St. Patrick's Day from the studio desktop again. Home at last from a true adventure and trip of a lifetime with Andy and Mo as we criss-crossed the greening countryside of Ireland. Not sure how to put it all together, the images and miles still a little jumbled in my head, popping up like spectacular calendar pages here and there.
I do know that the Irish and all their excited visitors are celebrating today, and that I am too- though a bit more quietly with a mug of coffee, the parade playing in the background. Right about this time yesterday, I was in St. Patrick's Cathedral in Dublin standing beside the tomb of Jonathan Swift, listening to the choir practice before services. Amazing.
Home, home, refreshed, inspired, and feeling very lucky for so many things- mostly those right here inside our own little green nest. xoC
Welcome Home. What a great image, I can't wait to see and hear all about your adventures to the land of the Smiling Irish.
XO,
Terri

Welcome back! Even though I love to travel, returning home is the best. I look forward to hearing more about your trip and the photo tells me that Spring really is just around the corner. Cheers.

Wow...beautiful image and words to match. Welcome home! I do hope we're going to see some peeks of your journey. I'm hoping to see a little green. ;)
For now...rest up!

Charlotte,
That sounds like an enchanting vacation with your sweet Mo, how could it get any better than that? Can't wait to hear more. I myself just got back from NYC for a whirlwind weekend with one of my daughters ! I need a nap!
Happy return to your nest!
