Easter

Spotted these fields of yellow travelling through East Cork during the week,what a lovely sight! Rapeseed or maize I think!The sunshine is to last well into Easter weekend too so Happy Easter to all and make the most of the sun! Gardening will be a pleasure in these conditions though regular rest ups and refreshments may be the order of the day!

As far as the eye could see, a sea of yellow rapeseed/maize?

Two little piggies spotted out and about!
Somewhere to sit at last,our new garden furniture!
Clematis in flower now
New variety planted this year looks like brushstrokes on the inside!
Tulips with parrot in the title somewhere!

All green plants surrounding the little pond!
Saxifraga
Candytuft up close and soooo white!
This azalea is fairly old but doing well in my front garden where it is a lovely splash of colour at the moment.

Wallflowers,considered old fashioned maybe,but I love their scent!

Easter Garden

I know Easter has passed so my post is a little late on the subject but I thought this Easter garden displayed in the Holy Trinity Church in Cork city centre was worth a look see!

The garden was complete with various miniature figures,some little animals and lovely greenery.The tomb area featured a waterfall and was lit up and drew crowds to admire it during Holy Week.


The Easter garden featured the symbol of the empty tomb,you can see the loincloth on the rocks and the white area is lit up showing an empty space inside.

This little take on the eight beatitudes was printed on the back of a notelet entitled The Capuchin, which was left on the seats during the Easter masses,

Beatitudes of the Elderley

Blessed are they who understand my faltering step and shaking hand.

Blessed are they who know my ears today must strain to catch the things they say.

Blessed are they who seem to know my eyes are dim and my mind slow.

Blessed are they with a cheery smile who stopped to chat for a little while.

Blessed are they who never say you!ve told that story twice today.

Blessed are they who make it know that I !m loved,respected and not alone.

And blessed are they who ease the days of my journey home, in loving ways.
