With a promised five days of warm weather, we hightailed it up to the farm.
Been here since Friday and have worked on just about everything, beginning with collecting all the fallen trees and limbs and cutting into firewood and the slack into piles to burn.

The Hill of Slane sits in sight of three ancient mounds know as the Bru'na Boinne, Newgrange, Knowth, and Dowth. These burial, ceremonial, and astronomic mounds are surrounded by large carved boulders. Also in sight, not far in the distance, is the Hill of Tara where the kings of Ireland were once crowned. Hill of Slane is traditionally regarded as the location where St Patrick lit the first Pascal Fire in 433 AD in defiance of pagan King Laoighre, the King of Tara. Legend has it Patrick's large fire on the Hill of Slane symbolized the beginning of Christianity and the end of paganism in Ireland.

It's a good week when you lead off with Muddy Waters. After that there's compilations from J.B. Lenoir and Horace Silver - the latter is a jazzy blues performer for those not instantly familiar. In the blues-rock category there's a live double album of the Paul Butterfield Band, a Robin Trower album and a John Hammond album. Following that there's a Doc & Merle Watson album and we finish up with a rock album by a lesser-known band, Tin Huey.
Have a great weekend and enjoy the tunes!
