faHA! livin'

haven't written a blog in quite a while. tons of craic here at gwen and mattu's! its been a lot of unwinding and calming after the whirlwind that was portugal and specifically the last bit. still constantly have "obrigad" stuck in my head as "thank you" and feel the need to conserve toilet  paper and water. all for the best i suppose. its nice to have a computer to blog on, props to mimi for keeping it going over the phone, but those buttons are just too tiny for me to write anything of substance.
ireland has been lovely- the weather, the people, the tea, the animals, the plants, the green, the artistic opportunities flourishing again! were going to be painting a piece on their house here hopefully sometime soon, which would be great! becoming quite the mural artists on this trip! right now we're working on the herb garden and its looking better everyday. mimis been digging out the last grassy section, and weaving the willow branches into arches above the walkways-super beautiful hidden talent! ive been painting the beds containing the herbs white in preparation for some sweet designs soon to be painted and doing some clearing  out of the weeds. we pretty much do what we want, when we want to and we still get tons of great things done! people can be relaxed and harmonious and still get work done after all!
there isnt too much to be reported specifically from today. it was nice on and off weather and we took the dogs for a long walk to the post office, which was also a small shop with treats and soda. we painted the window frames upstairs and listened to some of mattus cds which was nice. oh and we both picked pretty dreadful tarot cards today- both upside down, i got the tower and mimi the devil. luckily nothing bad happened and by the early evening frieda knocked both of them down so it must have been canceled out. now im just drinking some really lovely tea that gwen picked out and getting ready to hit the hay shortly.
i feel like i might be able to process some of these wild experiences at this magical place and learn some really beautiful things about myself and this great big earth as well. for that i am very grateful!
love to all
&updates soon!
keep it realllllll
