Irish Muses

I made two potholders today for a swap that I am in. I have till July 15th to post them out, but I wanted to send them out early. I will make the other two potholders tomorrow. I used some jelly rolls to make them, and it was fun. Joe wants me to make some for us, so I guess that I will have more to make this week. Spring has officially come to Dunfanaghy. It is very warm and sunny, and funny enough, we all decided, including the two dogs, that we like the cooler weather. Isn't it funny that the far away hills are always greener? We seem to want what we didn't appreciate at the time. Well, knowing Ireland, it will be cooler soon, so we might as well enjoy the warm weather while we have it.

This week, we are busy painting and working in the garden as the weather is so nice. It is a lot of work, but it is fun also. We are planning on going to Ards Forest this week, as the weather forecast says we will continue to have a balmy week. This is the time of year when there is bright green in the fields, there are lots of happy sheep, horses and cows in the fields, and flowers everywhere. If you plan on visiting Ireland, this is the best time of year to come.

We are off for our evening walk on the beach. Here is a pic that Joe took yesterday of Killahoey Beach. We are hoping again to see the sunset today, as it is so lovely!
