Dawn Meeting, Be Happy and Winter Blossom

1   I love lying in bed in the mornings watching the coming and going of the birds. They all gather in the tree opposite, fly off in big swoops and wheel around to return to the tree.

2   I once read that giving out smiles is the best thing you can do because they always come back to you. This poster says the same kind of thing. Be Happy! (I used to have that up in my classroom as one of my classroom rules!)

Be so happy

3   Next door’s Winter Cherry is flowering despite the howling wind and rain of today. Yesterday’s sunshine brought it all out.

Surprise Present, ClothKitty and Books on Stairs

1   Our lovely neighbour came in today and brought me a belated birthday present of some of her beautiful Winter Flowering Cherry blossom (which I have been admiring from our back bedroom window) a real tonic! Thank you, Sue.

2   I love ClothKitty! I made her at least 30 years ago for KJ but can’t remember exactly when.

3   Our eldest daughter has sent us this delightful photograph of someone’s stair/bookcase. Now we have an  extended family project for us all to nominate the 9 books we would paint our stairs with!  ‘Under Milk Wood’ would be there for me (as for my older brother) but I’ll have to think of the others.   I wonder what your choice might be?  I’d love to know!

Book staircase!
