In this week of turnings, feasts and festivals, time is out of time. Today feels like tomorrow\u2019s last week, or yesterday\u2019s fortnight. I\u2019m down the rabbit-hole, pocket-watch in hand.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u201cI\u2019m Late, I\u2019m Late!\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

(I also just spent the day in West Cork, where we were trapped with a flat tire. \u00a0But that\u2019s another story.)<\/em><\/p>\n

It snowed here in Cork this week. The sheep in Mr. McCarthy\u2019s field were huddled in the ring fort when I went out to explore it. Their fleece blending with the white blanket on the ground. \u00a0While some of the other farmers have lambs already, Mr. M\u2019s ewes are still waiting.<\/p>\n

The lane-way was magical, dusted with shimmering powder. The birds were out foraging and the silence was melodious. Since you couldn\u2019t be here to experience it with me, I hope you enjoy what my own eyes saw.<\/p>\n
