Date with St. Fiachra

I had a date with St. Fiachra in the Japanese Garden's for Valentine's day. We walked the journey of life from the Birth Stone through the Learning Hill, to the Engagement Bridge, the Path of Division, the Marriage Bridge and so on.

St. Fiachra is the patron saint of gardeners and this statue was sculpted by my cousin in Tralee. It has been here in St. Fiachra's gardens since 1999 and this is the first time that I saw it.

St. Fiachra is examining an acorn between his fingers.

Great oaks from little acorns grow.

The date went well.
