Monday, Tuesday.

First of all I want to thank everybody for their good wishes. I feel a lot better.

Last week we had a few lovely days with nice temperatures . It felt like spring, but we are back into winter again.

I have here some photo’s I made last year in March. About the same weather I believe.

Here I am again after some time. Not the nicest time in the world. I explained about that in a former post. Now I have to tell my friends again that I couldn’t come visit because I had cataract surgery yesterday. I can’t read well yet, wear my sunglasses and have my reading glasses on top of them. LOL. Not easy, hihi, will take them off in a minute.

I have a little collage for the letter P for Ms Jenny´s class. I made these photo´s when we were in England, the year before last.. I found Plants in Pots and against the wall of that beautiful cottage. I also found post and the name of that house behind the fence.

Pink Saturday.

First of all I want to say thank you all for your good wishes this last week. Let me tell you what happened that got me so upset. Three weeks ago I had my mammogram taken and last week I heard that there was something wrong . I had to go to the hospital and get an echo and x rays taken again. They definitely saw something not right on the photo’s so I had a biopsy, not fun, last Monday. This morning the doctor told me everything was alright so I am doing a happy dance like the couple on the photo. Believe me, these weeks were not nice.

Now these other photo’s are old ones but I hope we can see these spring colors very soon. Weather is getting better they tell us.

Weekend.

Due to health problems I haven’t been blogging and visiting this last week. I hope to get back soon.

Now about my photo’s, wouldn’t it be nice to see all this again . I think we all are longing for spring and summer with all its colors. I know I am. What about you?

Different memes.

While looking through my old collages to get some inspiration I found this one of our two granddaughters when they were about two and three years old. Look at them now, they are 15 and almost 14 and still beautiful ( my opinion of course) :)))

Skywatch Friday.

This morning we got this beautiful sky It was just before the sun came up.

Would you believe an hour later the sky was all grey and again an hour later it was snowing . It was a terrible day with snow and rain and ice on the streets. Weather is changing all the time here. We are all hoping so much for a bit of spring and sunshine but I am afraid we haven´t had enough winter yet.

Monday, Tuesday.

Since there is not so much to photograph outside at the moment I am going to show some more of the crafts I made during the years. Somebody asked what the knitting was for, well, it is going to be a scarf.

I am decluttering big time and I have to get rid of loads of stuff. I have two big baskets full of beautiful wool , from years back also so I thought I had better do something with it. Too good to throw out. The little bag I crocheted last week of very thick wool I had for ages. I found an old one I made some 40 years ago , the colors then were brown and green. Not nice. The pillow cover I started a few years ago , I just had to crochet a few more rounds of the silk yarn to finish it. I also found some granny squares here and there so I am going to make some more for an afghan or so.

Weekend.

For Weekend reflections and pink Saturday I have some photo’s I made here in the house. There is quite a bit of pink in it this time .

Friends asked me about my hobbies and why never showing something. I have been needle working most of my life, only quilting for about 7 years. What I have here is just a very little bit of what I made all these years. Most of what I made I gave away or it is stashed away. I have some quilts hanging in the house and I don’t like taking them down. :)) I might make more photo’s some other time.

Skywatch Friday.

On some days we get a beautiful sunrise and sundown. So also this week when the sky was not grey because of rain or snow. I always try to get my camera immediately because the sky changes every second .

The large photo is of the sunrise, the others of sundown.

Monday, Tuesday.

We are in the middle of a rain period .It is raining now, it did rain last week and it will rain again this next week.

We went for a ride in the country because we thought it would be dry for a few hours. On one country road we were warned for overflowing water as it has rained so much. AS you can see on one photo you can see how high the water was. A bit later it started raining again as you can see on one geese photo. We were waiting for a ferry when these geese came walking by . They were probably seeing if there was any food coming from the cars waiting there in line. So funny. Here are my photo’s to show. I made them from the car.

As you can see it had just started to rain. Sorry for the drops.

Waiting for the ferry.

Friday.

Yesterday we went for a drive in the country. It has been a long time since we did that because of the weather mainly. The weather was not really good , the weatherman said rain and you can see by the clouds that is was going to. But anyway , we went , also because we had some errands to run. And it did rain later.

What you see here is Holland in wintertime.

More wintery photo’s today. As I wasn’t able to go out and make photo’s due to circumstances I used these older ones and I needed some blue for Sally.We had lots of snow again yesterday but today it started to rain and now it is all gone.

I don’t really mind, we had enough.

Winter weekend.

I am afraid I have nothing more to show than snow and ice again. And a little bit of pink, but mostly black and white. I will be glad when we get some color in nature. I am out of inspiration .

Kids are having so much fun on the ice.

A little color in the house.

Several memes.

Sorry to say I don’t have much inspiration these days. Maybe a bit of the winter blues.

The weather is a lot better, we are going to get frost and sunshine in the next days. Maybe I can get out and make some photo’s then. I haven’t had a chance yet. Because of that I am using photo’s from my files . I made these more than two years ago so you probably will not remember them.
