I just have to share these photos with you, my friends, from the walk that Hubby and I took this morning in our local park.
The first one is children having fun sliding down the hill, the lake below is frozen at the sides, children were walking on it. Unheard of in this country!
Somebody told me that election posters were being made into great toboggans!
I wish I knew how to take and upload a video clip, because the noise was amazing, just screeches of laughter!
It reminded me so much of 3o'clock in St. Johann, when everyone comes down the mountain, and it's all just sliding around and having fun. I love how families have come out together to enjoy this rare event.
Then we went for a walk in the woods, and again, I felt I had to pinch myself and keep telling myself that this is Ireland!
This robin played a game with us, hopping from branch to branch. I wasn't sure if he was showing off, or teasing us!

We walked and walked! I could walk forever in this, completely losing track of where I am and of time. That, to me, is wonderful, takes me to a place outside myself and makes me remember what a small creature I am in the universe.
Can you see the robin in this next one? Click to enlarge..
Some pictures are Hubby's, some are mine. No prize for guessing which belong to whom.

And it's still snowing some more!
Tonight we made a snowman in our own garden, I'll post some photos of this tomorrow. It's so weird having confidence that the snowman will still be there, no melting! It's like birthday and Christmas and a ski holiday all rolled into one, only better, cos we have our home comforts too!
And for all of that, and the health to enjoy it, I am very grateful.
Thank you Lord!
