#FairyTaleTuesday #Celtic #EarthDay: `Seaghan, Son of the Earl, was holding a gathering on the green in front of his dun, and he saw a man coming towards him, old striped clothes he had, and puddle water splashing in his shoes. But when he asked who was he, he gave himself the name of a very learned man, Duartane O'Duartane, and he said it was by Ess Ruadh he was come, and by Ceiscorainn and from that to Corrslieve, and to Magh Lorg of the Dagda, and into the district of Hy'Conaill Gabhra, "till I came to yourself," he said, "by Cruachan of Magh Ai." So they brought him into the house, and gave him wine for drinking and water for washing his feet, and he slept till the rising of the sun on the morrow. And at that time Seaghan, Son of the Earl, came to visit him, and he said: "It is a long sleep you had, and there is no wonder in that, and your journey so long yesterday.`

#FairyTaleTuesday #Celtic #EarthDay: `The clown wished O'Donnell good health, and O'Donnell did the same to him, and asked where did he come from. "It is where I am," he said, "I slept last night at Dun Monaidhe, of the King of Alban; I am a day in Ile, a day in Cionn-tire, a day in Rachlainn, a day in the Watchman's Seat in Slieve Fuad; a pleasant, rambling, wandering man I am, and it is with yourself I am now, O'Donnell," he said. "Let the gate-keeper be brought to me," said O'Donnell. And when the gate-keeper came, he asked was it he let in this man, and the gate-keeper said he did not, and that he never saw him before. "Let him off, O'Donnell," said the clown`, who was no other than #Manannan in disguise, "for it was as easy for me to come in, as it will be to me to go out again." There was wonder on them all then, any man to have come into the house without passing the gate.`

April 22 #EarthDay

Didn't feel like running this morning, but I think the time was still well spent.
There's about 50 additional feet of creek bank that has less garbage on it.

In anticipo su domani vi do una suggestione erbacea. 🥀
È quasi tempo di papaveri e di quanto questo può significare per ognuno ed ognuna di noi...
E grazie alla mia fruttivendola di fiducia ho scoperto che le foglie dei papaveri sono commestibili.
- Un gusto più delicato degli spinaci - mi ha detto.
Proverò!
