Monday Blues...

miss b has gone back to brisbane,

well she has to work,

so that was expected, but i miss her.

my car is at the repairers.

a fortnight ago -

mr william and i

were sitting at maccas

having a lovely cup of coffee and catching up,

when

a big white bus

decided to park in the bays next to ours

and

reversed straight into our car.

i have lost my freedom for three days...

and i miss it already.

thirdly...

i love the rain

but

i wanted to get you a picture of

my newly sewn

Amy Butler apron,

and the sun has gone away behind the rain clouds.

today i am missing the sunshine

and the perfect light for photos.

looking on the bright side though....

i do have a couple of pics which i took the other day,

of random sunshiney things

that may cheer us all up 

(if your day hasn't gone according to plan). 

i put this dotty border on this tea towel the other day...

just for fun.

this is one of the last poincettia flowers of winter

that is blooming

right alongside my house,

next to my front door.

i love the bright bracts and its knobbly stems...

and these babies

were from the last bunch

of glads i bought a couple of weeks ago.

i must have been saving these photos

for a rainy day!

hahaha!

well i feel a lot happier now...

i hope you do too.

Glad About Friday...

"good morning"

just looking at these

will make you glad

to be alive...

i know you are saying

"carol, what another bunch?"

"why yes!"

i will reply,

"how could i resist?

they give me happy thoughts

for a whole week"

...loving the colours

...i love flowers

they say to me

"come on, cheer up"

"you have plenty to be thankful for"

"i love you"

"you are special"

"rejoice and be glad...

for this is the day that

the Lord has made."

Gratitude...

there's a lot to be said for it.

Singing a Spring Song....

i bought these glads at the fruit & veg market last saturday.

they've slowly been opening up all week.

i just had to take their picture this morning

'cos they looked a treat.

i am gathering together a little collection

of clear cut glass with diamond shapes that

catch the light and capture my dreams.

i have a friend who makes soy candles

and i am thinking of filling these pretties with moccacino or rose.

soy candlewax does not stick to tablecloths

and will not leave hard residues inside

my sparkling friends.

i will let you know how i go with these.

enjoy today while there is some of it left to enjoy....
