The "Big Chill" Has Arrived!

It is 3:00 pm on Saturday afternoon and the temperature is -2 degrees with 16 - 17 mph wind for a -22 degree wind chill. A few flurries off and on also, but no accumulation.

Forecast for tonight is for similar wind with a -11 degree temp.

Ron and Dona just got inside from trying to help the local birds by putting out extra seed and suite cake. This is usually January weather, not February weather. The cold is going to be staying around at least through Wednesday.

Oh well, I guess that is why we live in Wisconsin!

Last Day In Dingle

Farmers Work With Their Dog Finnbar , Tommy And Others The Traveling Trio On Their Last Day Well here we are on our last day in Dingle. We will be leaving soon to drive over to the Shannon area so that we can leave in the morning about 11:00 am. Yesterday was another wonderful day, made more so by the first full day of no rain and mostly sunny weather. We went to church at St. James Church which is the local Church Of Ireland church in Dingle. A small group, only the vicker and 6 others besides ourselves.

And then we found two archaeological sites just down the road from our cottage that were absolutely wonderful. While we were there our neighbors were out herding a flock of their sheep with their sheep dog, this was just a delight to...

Day Four

Irish Sea Gulls The Waves Rolling In A Typical Dingle Landscape The Cliffs Along Dingle Way The Blasket Islands (Sleeping Giant) Sean Daly Shows How It's Done Day four started with some clear weather and sunshine. It was our day to go to the Crystal shop and see Sean Daly work his magic. He showed us how he cuts the Crystal, polishes it and gave us an opportunity to buy as much as we wanted. And we wanted a lot!!! After visiting a few more spots in Dingle, we headed around the Dingle peninsula drive and it seemed like we stopped every 10 minutes to see one more spectacular view of the Atlantic and the rocks. We also were able to see the Blasket Islands even though the fog and mist was moving in and out most of the afternoon. Around 4:00 we found a nice pub in Bally Fueritor where we could get a bowl of soup and a toasted sandwich and a pint of Guinness. In Ireland, the Tuesday before Ash Wednesday is called Pancake Day. Everyone fixes pancakes for dinner before the beginnin...
