“Sunday reminds us that every day holds beauty and promise.”

I thought the earth remembered me,
she took me back so tenderly,
arranging her dark skirts, her pockets
full of lichens and seeds.
I slept as never before, a stone on the riverbed, nothing between me and the white fire of the
stars
but my thoughts, and they floated light as moths among the branches of the perfect trees.
All night I heard the small kingdoms
breathing around me, the insects,
and the birds who do their work in the darkness.
All night I rose and fell, as if in water,
grappling with a luminous doom.
By morning I had vanished at least a dozen times
into something better.

- Mary Oliver (1935-2019),
Sleeping in the Forest (1978)

WOW!!!

‘In Ireland the inevitable never happens, and the unexpected constantly occurs.’

~ Irish classicist and scholar John Pentland Mahaffy (1839-1919)

Never a truer word was said, Mr. Mahaffy! This scene, for example, could be straight out of a fairytale. If you’ve ever read the Three Billy Goats Gruff, you’ll know that the heroes of the tale are three goats who needed to outsmart a hungry troll in order to cross a bridge to their feeding ground. This herd of wild goats are pictured crossing a stunning natural sea arch against an evening sky on a tiny island in Roaringwater Bay, County Cork. Beth Cradick is the photographer, she was camping on the abandoned island at the time and said it was a ‘really magical scene’. I don’t doubt that for a moment, thank you Beth for capturing the scene for us all to enjoy! 🥰

That impossible shady spot in your garden? Spring ephemerals are the answer 🌸✨

These woodland wildflowers bloom brilliantly before trees leaf out, then gracefully disappear—transforming problem areas into seasonal showstoppers.

Join us April 29 for an evening walk through Chanticleer and learn which ephemerals thrive in dry shade, wet shade, deep shade & how to keep your garden beautiful after they fade.
