Nothing says spring in Ireland like a daffodil being hammered by hailstones.

Happy Easter!

Me: I can’t find my crocs, you didn’t steal them by any chance?

Wife: No Allyn, I have self respect.

Dear World peoples,

The greatest sports cheer in the history of sports cheers is currently relevant.

That's right.
County Down won a match.

You may now proceed to roar:

Up Down! Up Down! Up Down!

Knock yerselves out.

Beal na h-Uamha bho Rubha nam Faoileann, Eilean Eisdeil.

Tee hee! On a day of unrelenting rain, these three made their feelings abundantly clear. Meanwhile, the squirrel resorted to prayers to quell the soaking he was getting.

Intrusiveness of flowers.

“Intrusiveness of flowers is brooked even by troubled hearts.
They enter and then knock—then chide their ruthless sweetness, and then remain forgiven.
May these molest as fondly!”
(L540) - Emily Dickinson.

Flowers shout like a visual assault, based on the phrase above.

MMA fighter, convicted sexual assault person, ignorant, anti-immigrant, racist who does not understand democracy, the Irish system of election for president; and who seems to be totally unaware of the rules of the job of President. Irish Presidents are above politics.

Content warning: some of the images are upsetting.

Yes, it’s a very soggy start to Easter in Dublin, but raindrops on flowers are beautiful.

Another bit of bloomscrolling for the TL. This time from the parents’ garden this Good Friday. #BloomScrolling #blumen #Bláthanna #Mastodaoine #FlowersInTheRain
