the trees are blooming


Charles Stewart Parnell (27 June 1846 – 6 October 1891) was an Irish Protestant landowner, nationalist political leader, land reform agitator, and the founder and leader of the Irish Parliamentary Party. He is also a distant cousin, a leaf on a twig on a branch of my family tree.


Happy Saint Patrick's Day!

Oh, the summertime is coming
And the trees are blooming
And the wild mountain thyme
Grows around the blooming heather

From "Wild Mountain Time (Traditional Irish)

Helle - now that you point it out we do have the same down-turning eyes and mouth!

J - thanks! YOU always find the best of everything else!!

Chrisy - I often think of my ancestors, and wonder what they would think of me.
