At Barryscourt Castle in Co. Cork, Ireland there is a small garden being restored. Here are some photos of some of the flowers from that garden in beautiful Ireland.

 

May you always have walls for the winds,
a roof for the rain, tea beside the fire,
laughter to cheer you, those you love near you,
and all your heart might desire.

 

"In all things of nature, there is something of the marvelous."

----Aristotle

 

May the road rise to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back,
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
The rains fall soft upon your fields and,
Until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.

---an Irish blessing
