Saturday wit and whimsy . . . .

A wave of green has broken upon the shores of the countryside of Britain . . . sweeping round woodlands and hedges like a rising tide.  Left behind are the footprints of March . . .  seen in damson blossoms and the dancing daffodils . . .

Springtime crashes on shores about the world with a mounting wave of living green, rolling in as on twig and bough and branch . . . tender new leaves unfurling and making their presence known.  A green renewal . . .



Soon now the cherry tree will bloom . . . like a white-sailed galleon upon the rolling seas . . . adrift before the winds, fair and graceful, riding in upon the full green waters of the tides of Spring.  Tis a glorious time of year



All winter long the tree has lay dormant . . . it's branches dark and bare and then . . . with the increasing hours of daylight and the warming rays of the spring sunshine they come alive and little green buds quicken and grow . . . and then it seems that overnight the branches are suddenly filled to overflowing with that ruffled pink and white sweetness. The air scented with the fragrance of a million blooms and full of the buzz of a hundred bumbly bees flitting from blossom to blossom . . .

Oh I do so love Spring . . .  with all of it's April showers and such.   It is a beautiful time of renewal and hope.



I had a little while to play yesterday.  I had done the pencil drawing a few days back and yesterday I was able to find time to take out my brushes . . . a water colour.  No words this time . . .  just feeling.  A little girl flys . . . with flowers in her hair.  Todd thought it was sweet.  She is for sale.

 

I have begun the bottom half of the back of my Hot Water Bottle Cover.  I am really liking how it is shaping up.  It's so easy to do, just sitting and knitting while the telly is on in the evenings.  I hate to sit and do nothing  . . .



I have to be doing something  . . .  anything but just sit and watch  . . . it has been ever so . . .

 

And look what arrived in the post  . . .  my baby boy . . . getting married, less than a hundred days now.  Tis quite exciting an exciting time for them . . .

 A thought to carry with you through today  . . .
