Well, a great Fall day here on The Gold Coast. The sun is out, we have been gardening and lunching out with one of our daughters. It seems like a sleepy day, one of those days when you pet the dog, hold the cat on your lap, and to the strains of a Mantovani CD, relax and read your favorite book, perhaps if you like poetry and adventure, a Don Blanding book, maybe 'Vagabond's House' or 'A Grand Time Living". I have always liked Blanding's books and they are wonderfully relaxing and entertaining. Speaking of relaxation, it brings back memories of beauty and relaxation: Ireland. The above photo which I took, is of a Monet-like pond at Fota House in Co. Cork, Ireland, a very beautiful area with a great house which is very historic and protected by the Historical Trust. One can visit the House and go through it, and the extensive Gardens and Grounds are beautiful and amazing. It is truly a relaxing place.
The breeze comes in today from the sea, and it is so pleasant that one might thing we are in the middle of Spring, but no. Fall is here and we await the first rain to water the hillsides. Will close today with a quotation which I like very much. Until later...............
"Be glad of life because it gives you the chance to love and to work and to play and to look up at the stars."
-- Henry Van Dyke
