County Cork in Ireland has beautiful beaches. This is one that we often visit when in Ireland, in the coastal town of Youghal. It is beautiful and breezy and walkable most of the time if the wind is not howling. I especially like the clouds in this photo, like a field of cotton coming in from the horizon.

It feels like Spring is here with all the sunshine we have daily. The fog lingers off the coast and slips in -- in the evenings to leave dew on the plants and grasses, a nice sight in the mornings.

The new carpet is in, and it looks very nice. I don't know how long between new carpet one has, but new carpet has a renewing and newness to life.

The Towhees and Sparrows are very numerous in our hedges and grasses. We enjoy their songs, and of course the Anna's hummingbirds are here and enjoying our Mexican Sage blossoms and our bird feeder. How marvelous they are! Our day nears end, and we now are having sunsets near 6:00 p.m.
