This is one of my favorite pictures from Ireland. I used it on the cover of my Favorite Irish Recipes ebook and am using it as the opening image during my Kids' Stage presentations at Kansas City Irish Fest.  If you look closely you may find a sióg (she-oug) – faerie – hiding in the picture.

The narrow road… Hedgerows growing over the ancient stone wall…  I look at it and breathe easier.

“May the road rise up to meet you, may the wind be ever at your back.

May the sun shine warm upon your face and the rain fall softly on your fields.

And until we meet again, May God hold you in the hollow of his hand.”

~Irish Blessing
