I know I mention this every chance I get, but this really is the view from the dining room and the bedroom in my Athlone apartment. Just imagine that beyond those trees is the River Shannon. Ok, it's probably half a mile away, but I like to think of it as part of my personal landscape. Nice, huh?
While I was sitting at the table getting some things ready for next week, three guys – one on a quad – and two dogs came out to herd some horses back to the stable. It took them several minutes, and I think the most fun was watching the dogs, one of whom has legs about six inches long racing around and between the horses and the quad. They love it!
Just as I'm writing this a couple of men went racing across the field on two large horses both of whom easily jumped the obstacles built into the fence for that purpose. Now they are riding below the window and calling good-natured insults to each other. Life is good.
