My rain barrels are not scheduled for delivery until tomorrow. After the rain. My timing in ordering them turned out to be lousy. One might think that a rain barrel in Phoenix is an oxymoron. Not this year. Oh well, I’ll be ready for next year.
Back to books or rather libraries. I loved my hometown library but the library at Trinity College in Dublin, Ireland is one not to miss if you find yourself in Dublin. We’ve been there twice and still don’t feel like I’ve seen it all. There is so much history on display to read not to mention The Book of Kells. I’ve included links at the bottom on both the library and The Book of Kells. The “Long Room” as it is known looks like something straight out of Harry Potter. The library was built between 1712-1732. Below is a picture taken in 2013 and the other one is a painting of how it looked in the 18th century. Where did all the books come from? What’s the oldest book? What secrets does the library hold?
