I took this photo last week in Carrigaline, Co.Cork. It is a fine example of a green that is not mown for a few weeks to give the clover and other flowers a chance to flower. Once the lawnmowers go in, all flowers no matter what their size, are simply chopped down. But once they are left to flower for a few weeks without disruption, the bees and bumblebees get a great chance to work these flowers. It is win win situation for everyone

Spiritual Thought For The Week🙏
Both the Winter and the Summer Solstices are expressions of love. They show us the opposition of light and dark, expansion and contraction, that characterize our experiences, so that we can recognize our options as we move through our lives. ~Author Unknown
Last Saturday (June 21st) we marked the longest day of the year. The biggest tilt towards the sun is at this time of year and it is possible to get 17 hours of sunshine in many parts of Ireland. With the beautiful weather we have had all week, there have been some eye catching sunsets at 10pm each evening.
From a spiritual point of view we are always invited to tilt towards God and everything that is good and life giving. We are equally invited to tilt away from negativity, bitterness and darkness. Nature has worked out the balance over millions of years.
The invitation on the longest days of the year is to tilt even a little, to something good, positive and worthwhile in our lives. We remember the words of Jesus: “Come to me all who are weary and overburdened and I will give you rest.”
