At Four Months...

 
good morning!
 
with mr m sharing my computer,
it feels like i am a visitor who pops in now and then
&
i feel the need to reconnect today
to see how everyone's faring.
 
on my 'visiting days'
i usually try to skype my little grandson.
 
he is now four months old
&
in taiwan where he lives
they have a few customs that are very different
to us here in australia.
 
 
 
 
one of those
is the tradition of tying a red string
with cookies...or more recently...
the trend of tying donuts
around the neck of the baby and family and friends
eat them.
 
 
 
i'm not sure
what this means really
but maybe you've heard of it
and can let me know.
 
little kai also had his first swim recently
&
was accompanied by about forty other babies
who were born at about the same time as him.
 
sounds like good fun!
 
i'm off to shop for dog food
in the cool of the morning
&
then when it gets hotter
i'm heading down to the pool myself to keep cool...
my kinda fun.
 
i hope you've got some fun things lined up for today...
or maybe the weekend
too!

How does your garden grow?

 
good morning!
 
when i last wrote,
i lay down my pen...so to speak...
&
took a rest.
 
it was like at the end of all those 500 posts
i'd finished
&
really didn't know whether i'd take it up again.
 
 
 
but this morning
after a dry spell
i leapt out of bed and there had been a storm in the night.
the world was new again.
 i had a desire to write again as well...
to share something fresh.
 
 
 
i don't know quite where i'm heading
with all this
but as with life itself...
it'll just unfold
&
a story will be told!
 
 
 
oh what a beautiful morning...
oh what a beautiful day....
 
doris day here is warbling away!
 
have a great day...
