Eily’s Report – 11th March

  1. Dia is Mhuire díobh go léir a cáirde and welcome to my report.

Everybody has one and I suppose it’s my turn to have one too, even if I didn’t want it. When the common cold is doing the rounds it’s not easy to hide from it. So I’m sitting beside a very large box of tissues and mopping away ’till I run out of bodily fluids and then perhaps I’ll get a little respite. Flu jabs do nothing for the common cold, it’s a lad all of it’s own and the plan is to give it time and  soon all will be well again.  le cúnamh Dé.  Five years ago we had worse trouble when we were told that the illness that we felt was Covid 19. A new name in the medical world and we would do well to cast our minds back to the devastation that it led to and it will make the common cold seem like a dawdle.

Eily’s Report – 4th March

Dia is Mhuire díobh go léir a cáirde and welcome to my report.

The kiss of the sun for pardon, the songs of the birds for mirth, one is nearer to God in the garden than any place else on Earth. (Forgive me if I borrow a few words from William Wordsworth) And I shall have some peace there for peace comes dropping slow.

The weather forecast this week is enough to put anybody in a poetic mood. Warm and sunny all the way. The beautiful sunshine on Monday is a good start and we’ll take it from there, one day at a time. Our March Fair got ideal weather on Sunday but sadly the crowds didn’t come. But the usual stalwarts never fail.  Honor with her real bargains in gold pieces, the man with the multi-coloured rugs and matts and the man from Kerry with his fine display of shrubs and trees. Horses being confined to the Fairfield were away from the naked eye and they would have been  my favourite .  Up to lately you’d see some chickens and pups for sale in boxes at the corner but not any more. If you were to have a mere six hens/fowl nowadays you should have to herd number.  In Nebraska hens/fowl are big business. Not for big numbers like here, but for show. The shows are for children. It’s hard to imagine the interest and the excitement it creates. It’s up to the youngster to look after their own birds and breeding the best is very competitive. There are catalogues of the best prize winners and they spend big money in owning a good one. I often wondered, if it could  happen here.

Eily’s Report – 25th February

Dia is Mhuire díobh go léir a cáirde and welcome to my report.

Isn’t it divine when the sun comes out ,you want to run outside and grab it up before it goes away again. I wonder is it silly to think that the few stolen minutes in the sun does you good. How long does it take to make a difference? Minutes, half an hour, a full hour. I wish I knew. Well in any case I get out even for a moment. This morning I soaked up the morning rays at my little suntrap outside my back door and even if it didn’t do any good to my body it certainly did wonders for my mind. The birds were enjoying it too and their song was like balm to my sun-hungry me. My moments of bliss only lasted about half an hour when the elements changed their mood and it started to rain again. From my kitchen window I can see my camellias, I have them in two colours with a cheeky azalea fighting for notice in between and they are all ready to blossom. Other people’s camellias are flowering for ages mine just now, and others will follow according to their time.  But for now the moment is mine. And as the buds slowly emerge there is something new to look at every morning and admire for the day. All around the garden growth is in the air. The snowdrops have done their duty for now and the daffodils are well there. The bluebells and the wild garlic are ready to do their bit and it’s worth using the bit of sun to walk among them even for a few moments.

Eily’s Report – 18th February

Dia is Mhuire díobh go léir a cáirde and welcome to my Report.

Before the drizzly rain started today there was a lively wind blowing outside and while savouring my first meal of the day I let my eye wander over what was happening in the great big world beyond my kitchen window. At ground level there was little change, just the weather beaten lawn and judging by the skies it was in from more. However high up in the sky the crows were playing high jinks. In full wing they seemed enjoy riding on the wind. They allowed themselves to be carried by it and play a variety of games. At times to soar ’til they were nearly out of sight and then drop wing and fall from on high at great speed, only to catch themselves at the last minute and rise again. They flitted in and out amid the flock and it was easy to see that they were having a great time.   As a little reward for the free show I threw out a few scraps and it didn’t take them long to spot them and dive in for the morsels. After that they disappeared into wherever crows go after their morning rounds. Very soon the misty rain pulled a curtain over the scene and I was glad that I saw and enjoyed it at the beginning of my day, my week.
