.orchid.
over three years ago i bought my first orchid.
it bloomed and bloomed from it's orginial shoot,
but once that shoot had it's lifespan, it went dormant.
it took 2 months for another shoot to grow
and while i was in ireland it started to bud!
yesterday morning, in the middle of a month of no sunlight,
the first blossom in three years opened it's face
to the little sunlight peeking through the clouds.

.tweed.
Ireland is known for quite a few things,
but if there was something I saw a lot of it was sheep.
The knitwear was fantastic, but with the dollar to euro conversion,
not so fantastic on my pocket book.
Fortunately, i found some beautiful Donegal Aran Tweed yarn!
100% Pure New Handspun Wool
Direct from Kilcar, Donegal
Two hard decisions, one was the color choice
as all the colors were so full and earthy.
Lately I have been making a point to buy more blues,
since I typically go with browns and greens.
Second decision was the pattern.
Luckily I found this very versatile pattern at ravelry
I wore it biking yesterday in all the rain
and it had an added benefit of keeping the rain out of my face
and directing it from dripping in front because of the ridges!
yeah! Perfect!

.granola.
ahhh... drenching rain....
the best thing i can think of is making the house smell sweet and yummy...
granola time.
this time i ventured to make the granola into bars.
here's how it panned out. (pun intended!)
ingredients:
- honey
- almond butter
- pure vanilla
- oats and rolled barley
- slivered almonds
- coconut shreds
- dried cranberries
- raw sunflower seeds
- unsulfered dried apricots, chopped
they sure looked yummy before the oven
however, they did not come out of the pan as easy as i had hoped
but it still tasted great as granola!
out of my second batch i was able to carefully create 8 whole granola bars!
a bit more work than just buying a box,
but less garbage and they just seem to taste better! yummmmmmmy.

.ireland love.
i'm back! i just spent a lovely two weeks in ireland exploring,
drinking (mmmm.... guinness), and celebrating my 29th birthday for two weeks.
something that caught my eye were all the grand entrances in the country... here's a small sampling including georgian doors, prison doors, businesses, and cathedrals
enjoy!
