Again it is time to write for the West Kerry Live and I find myself a little lost at what to write as very little is happening at the moment. Like everyone we are looking forward to greeting the spring which we will be celebrating with Candlemas which is on the 2nd of february. Every year we make earth candles which we then plant in the garden and light to warm up the ground - so if you happen to be passing that night and you see lights in our garden you will know what it is. We will also hope for bad weather on that day as it is said that 'if Candlemas is bright with sun then the winter has just begun but if Candlemasday is dark with rain then winter's power is on the wane.'
At the beginning of the week we celebrated Tomas' birthday - and AnnMarie is looking forward to a special birthdayparty with lots of friends and family at the end of the week.
Otherwise all is well - the oneeyed kitten which was rescued over christmas has joined the many animals on the land and is making sure that he is not forgotten - allthough he is not meant to be there but should live a little bit down the road but he is seen trotting along the road when people are walking to work.The gander seems to be feeling the spring as no one is allowed to go anywhere near his goose - with a lot of noise and hissing everyone is being chased away - only a few fearless can go near him.
