Connemara

I am in the remote Connemara area of western Ireland. Unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately) internet is very hard to come by and thus I will not be posting very often. I'm staying in a stone cottage with peeks of the sea, sheep, a friendly pony, a dog and gorse, purple vetch, woodbine, purple loosestrife, agrimony, and self-heal. Our cottage has a turf fire and a loft where I work and watch the new calf swanning around with his gold-colored mother. It has been productive for me---many new poems and stories happening. I cannot post pictures because they aren't on this computer. Just picture the most beautiful, unspoiled place you can imagine and you will have some idea of what it is like here.
