Before Lockdown

Hello Everyone! I really hope all of you are healthy and staying sane in these troubling times. Here in the Emerald Isle, things are just starting to get eerie. St Patty’s day, today, has all pubs closed. A national holiday here but no place to celebrate.

While we still have some freedom, I took a nice bike ride today along the river.

Churches are pretty much everywhere here and this little one is so pretty on the other side of the river. The Cormorants seem to enjoy the location too.

The trees here are just starting to leaf out which gives them a nice fuzzy look off in the distance.

I am sad that so much of spring will be missed. I had plans for hikes and bird watching along the coast and cliffs. At least these guys decided to put on a show today at the river’s edge.

And, the daffodils are out and were so pretty to see along the river today.

Penguin was also excited to get out today. Joe had to stay at home since the elderly are supposed to self isolate. Rocky jumped in and kept us all company.

What are you doing for the next few weeks or months? What are your lockdown plans?

I am happy that at least I have a balcony so I can pretend to be outside. If I decide to start singing, and the neighbors don’t kill me, I will post a video.

Stay safe and healthy my friends. And, try to stay away from the financial news. We don’t want anyone having a Coronanary.
