Is Summer Coming?
We get lulled into thinking it may be here, then another day of sub-zero weather. Well, perhaps not sub-zero, but single digits! Tonight I made turkey soup--this, following last night's dinner of ham plus salads, a seriously summertime meal! What is this? Is there an opposite to global warming perhaps?
Each day we spend a little more time making plans for our big trip. We are definitely not the sort who want to go on factory tours. We can Google those if we want! We want to see the rugged coastline, experience the waves lapping at our feet and the wind blowing our hair around! Irish mists are legendary and we want some Aran knit sweaters to dispel them with. Our car will be small, standard and driven from the wrong side on the wrong side of the road. This will be, I am sure, a challenge! We hear the roads, too, are legendary. Perhaps infamous is a better word? But I am beginning to dream in green. Irish moss, irish wolf hounds, irish whiskey, irish cream. Should be fun. But I think what we are looking most forward to is being away. Visiting. Meeting new people, seeing new lands. Experiencing a new culture, hearing a new language.
The weather? Perhaps it is preparing us for our trip. What I am not sure of is why the whole province needs to prepare with us?
But I am grateful!
