"May your pockets be heavy and your heart be light,
May good luck pursue you each morning and night."
- Irish blessing

Saturday brought chilly air again. Welcome to Irish summer, full of surprises. I painted from inside the studio, it has a great view of Skellig Michael & Little Skellig. In clear weather they appear very close. In fog or stormy weather, it looks as though they've left the area entirely. It was so nice to have the shelter from the chilly wind. Even though the sun was out, that wind off the Atlantic can be cold!

We had a 'date' for Saturday night! A neighbors son (all of 5 years old) - we treated him to hamburgers & chips at the "chip van" in Portmagee, and he treated us to candy at the store that he bought with his own money in his "spiderman" wallet! Then we went back to his parents house. He's a charming lad (too bad my daughters are way too old for him!)
