The Trees are Down!

Dad and I started about 10:30 this morning moving around underbrush and trees. Kev joined once he finished working.




The driveway will come up where the tractor is standing. 
Pushing the underbrush and small limbs into one of the monstrous burn piles.
The house will sit right about here on the top of the ridge.
Monstrous burn pile #1. I told Kev we needed to wait for another chilly night and take the camping chairs over there and have a few drinks around the bonfire. Yes, I have a little bit of country girl in me.
Firewood!
A pile of Hickory for a friend. 

All I can say is that I am EXHAUSTED! Basically dad cut up the trees and I loaded them into the back of the truck, drove them to the firewood pile, and unloaded them. Anytime that I was left waiting was used to drag limbs and brush to the burn pile. I have a feeling I will be sore tomorrow. I made it out with only two bruises and I'm really hoping I don't get Poison Ivy. There were vines growing up a few of the trees. I tried to be careful and dad was making sure he pulled off what he could.

It was a little pricey, but since we had such great deals on all of the other B&Bs, I splurged. It's one of the best known Castle Hotels in Ireland, has a history dating back to the 1590’s and sits on 30 acres of native woodlands. The castle has 23 en-suite bedrooms and 3 beautiful private rooms complimented by enchanting formal gardens. To read about the history of the castle click here. We stayed in the Coghill room.   We had a nice view of the gardens. Here are other pictures from inside the castle. We had to have our picture made with the knights.   We Googled and found a restaurant in town that was supposed to be delicious. It was nestled on the shore overlooking the bay. We arrived about 5:30 and watched the sunset. The food was fabulous, however the service was not. ...
