Through the Crack

Dear Diary,

My little scilla are making their valiant effort to bloom despite the days of pouring rain.  I love seeing them poke their lovely blue heads through the cracks in the stone.  It makes my think of Ireland and the Burren.  I leave next week.  My friend there tells me the flowers are blooming all over the Burren now and many, like this little scilla, bloom in the cracks of the limestone, blessing the space between.

The sun is shining again, at least for today, and the yard work will continue.  John will continue with his fence painting, Matt will continue with the yard clean-up and I will continue with my packing for my Celtic adventure!
