 Spring

Vivaldi's Spring

The Spring Equinox is the first day of spring season and occurs when the sun passes the equator moving from the southern to the northern hemisphere. The North Pole begins to lean toward the sun again. Day and night have approximately the same length. The posh name for Spring Equinox is Vernal Equinox.

By the meteorological calendar, spring will always start on 1 March; ending on 31 May

All this week I have been feeling bleurgh.... Not helpful being on your own either, so I watched too much television and knitted.  Think I feel better now!

 Look Up!

Joining in with I live, I Love, I craft Scavenger Hunt 

When I was younger I always wanted to do photography but couldn't afford to.  There was no instant pictures then, no digital cameras, no phones with cameras attached!  The photographs had to be developed by yourself or taken to the local chemist for developing.

I did know a photographer and he always said "look Up! when you want to take some photos. 

I learnt a lot with just that phrase..... always look up you never know what you may see...........

Warning:  Just remember to look where you are walking........

Unexpected

 Joining in with I live, I Love, I craft Scavenger Hunt 

Two video calls from my son in New Zealand.  One last Sunday and one just now, both occasions, as I answered my 4year old granddaughter's beautiful smile saying Hello Nanny.  This morning for me was her opening parcels, book for her and the jumper for her brother.

This is unexpected too!  

My friend knows I love Amaryllis bulbs. Big blousy show off of the bulb world.

This poor bulb had a bit of a rough start

I opened the box to find it had been packed upside down. 

Turned it up right way and potted it up

And it grew......

Its very pretty though with white petals pink edges

Friday 5th February

First of all I would like to say a BIG Happy birthday to my youngest son 35 years old today

It snowed this week, but nothing spectacular.  I helped a friend to make marmalade.  It would have taken her all day if she'd attempted it on her own.  I'm part of her bubble as her husband has Parkinson's so she needed help.  I just helped to peel and squeeze the oranges she did the rest in the afternoon.  I haven't done much else this week just knitting and sewing.

First of all I would like to say Happy Birthday to my granddaughter Scarlett,7 years old today

Think Positive, my words for the year - Huh!

Two block toilets in the matter of days, not happy.  I thought the guy who came to sort the upstairs loo and all was OK... No.... by Saturday morning the downstairs was blocked!  Not sure the blockage had flushed through properly, anyway I'll be on the phone tomorrow...........

I've joined the I live, I Love, I craft Scavenger Hunt again.
