Rainy Day in Ireland!

The morning started out nicely, but by noon the rain began to fall. A nice slow steady light rain that I considered a blessing (I am coming from he desert, remember), but the folks here disliked. We have had absolutely beautiful weather here in Ireland since we came, but today the luck changed. It was really beautiful, anyway. The fog or low ceiling hanging on the tops of the mountains with the conifer forest hiding scores of hobbits in the deep dark forest shadows was magical as we drove along. Down in the midland pastures dairy cattle (mostly Holstein) continued grazing the lush green grasses in the rain like nothing bothered them. Once around the coast the fog made driving interesting and the views of half visible shorelines across the bays mystical. It was a rather nice day in spite of the rain and fog. West Cork is a wonderful place!
