just a load of photos

maybe I should take fewer photos

and then you wouldn't have to look at so many!!

but I can't help myself

I see

I click

I load

I blog

:)

so, this morning I have a question for you

I saw something like this

made with beads, the little tiny seed beads

saw it ages ago

and while I was fooling around seeing what napkin rings would look like

 made with the cotton du jour

I linked two together and then added a third

but before I go on

I have a question

necklace anyone?

would you wear something like this

do you know anyone who would?

here are the three made so far

blue purple and light green

shall I continue

 and make a

scarflace!!!

narf

narflace???

husband thinks it's

coo-ull

but what does he know!!!

so what cha think?

waiting for the kettle to boil yesterday

I noticed that the first wild violets are blooming

I swear they weren't there the day before

do you think it's called

Spring coz

!!!!!BOING!!!!!

up they come?

we woke up to thunder and lightning this morning

a dawn storm

as the weatherman called it

it was quite surprising

the early light

punctuated by flashes and deep rumbles

and

rain

rain that is bringing everything back to life

the Pieris Japonica is just covered in little pink bells

so delicate and yet so strong, as it blooms in the winter

delicate but strong

......

like it's namesake

!

here they come

the columbines are back

the vole missed this one

and if he comes anywhere near it

I swear he isn't long for this world

I'll feed him to the dolphins

gently swaying in the breeze

and season him with chives

can you see the raindrops in the

sedum?

maybe Mr Frog would like a little

vole in the hole for lunch

see his beard made with drops

and this is the lazy woman's way of making strawberry shortbread

when you are too busy making tea and gathering the first blooms

and futzing about making napkin rings

into narfs

and you remember you have

strawberries in the fridge

 tapping their feet waiting to be consumed

grab a roll of biscuits that you bought for husband to have with his favourite meal

:P

and

wash them with egg and sprinkle sugar over them

bake and enjoy with

the strawberries and cream

no doubt there'll be a photo of the next one

the first one was consumed too quickly to have it's portrait taken

!!!!

so here you have it

a question

a walk in the garden

a declaration of war

and a recipe

not bad for a Monday Morning

who knows what we'll do tomorrow

thank you for your patience

your encouragement to continue

and your

sweet comments

see ya!!
