Home Blessing
may your smoke-hole
be blackened
your house-post straight
your cattle strong-legged
and
sure

Mac Diarmada's House... Although it was a cold day, there was a cheerful warm
fire from the hearth. The master thatcher was forming scolbs (pins) or spars to
hold the thatch together on the roof. (12 January 2009)
