There has been lots and LOTS of rain in recent weeks and this has caused very muddy conditions not just in our gardens but also on our farms too. Everyone is hoping for an improvement especially as we enter the spring equinox. I took this photo yesterday at Altamount, Millstreet, Co.Cork yesterday.

Thought For The Week
The Prayer of Saint Patrick
Christ with me, Christ before me, Christ behind me, Christ in me, Christ beneath me, Christ above me, Christ on my right, Christ on my left, Christ when I lie down, Christ when I sit down, Christ in the heart of everyone who thinks of me, Christ in the mouth of everyone who speaks of me, Christ in the eye that sees me, Christ in the ear that hears me.
We pray for God’s strength to help us, God’s wisdom to guide us, God’s eye to be our vision, God’s ear for our hearing, God’s word for our speech, God’s hand to protect us, God’s pathway before us, God’s shield for our shelter, Amen
