Sunday evenings, time for some sunset thinking.

Sunday evenings are to myself the end of another week, they mark a time to clear your mind. To think about a new week and to define the end of the last, what-ever happened last week (good or bad) has gone.

It time for some ……..

Sunset Thinking

Do you ever watch the sunset
And just sit and think about things
Just you and the sky and darkness
Giving your thoughts some wings

Perhaps you’ve got some troubles
And don’t know what to do
Or you just plain need to get away
To spend a little time with you

Sunset beauty makes you feel as though
Your life has meaning after all
To see a sight so extraordinary
Makes you feel capable, strong and tall

It’s funny how flashes of color
Like a sunset or sunrise can inspire
It can calm your inner self a bit
It’s a scene you can never tire

The serenity gives you a chance
To put things in perspective
Life can be overwhelming at times
And a sunset can be reflective

So when the sky lights up next time
Let your gaze do some drinking
Soak up all the amazing sights
And do some sunset thinking!

This old green country lane (Poem) – Knockmealdowns

Only the Country Lane Will Weep

by adgray

I wander down the country lane
my old dog by my side
and I whistle merrily a tune
of how the view is wide

There are no hedgerows to crowd me in
or branches to block the sky
they’d have to use machinery
to bury me when I die

So don’t bother breaking your backs for me
I’d rather blow around with ease
just add what little goodness left
across the land upon the breeze

For this is where my heart is
this is my back yard
I’ve roamed it all my adult life
to leave it would be hard

No city house and airs for me
my graces rough and ready made
So lay me not in a neat little row
let my spirit fly and fade

I hitch my swag a little easier
and hunker to scratch his head
the billy boils as I wait with him
and then we both to bed

The stars sing lullaby’s to us
the wind sweeps us softly as we sleep
No debts no bills to leave behind
only the country lane will weep

It’s a summers weekend, Molly’s early morning visit to Tramore beach

We don’t know what’s hit us here in Ireland, Sun all day for a week and temperatures in the high 60’s or even 70’s.

Just like Irish people do we had to go mad with it and got up very early this morning to head down to Tramore strand, co Waterford. The three of us had a wonderful June morning but molly loved it just that bit more let’s hope it lasts!
