Sunday safari

These days, are golden days.
Time to dream days.
Or sit by a pond and reflect days.
Feel the warmth of the sun, on the back of your neck. It has been a long cold winter.
A walk in the woods alone, perhaps,
or maybe with a friend.
Time to give someone a hug. Show them you are pleased to see them.
Or just time, to sing your little heart out.
Or make a bonnet for Easter........
Whatever you choose to do, be happy.......life is good.


Happy Sunday safari.

  2. Hi Liz, Do be careful. Give yourself a bit of time here and there. We all need 'me' time.

    I have a busy two weeks ahead. Parents and Grand-children. No doubt it will come together, it always does in the end, doesn't it?


    It was so lovely to see the mason bees leaving the units. Only a few have emerged at the moment. With the exceptionally cold winter I was a little concerned about them. They spent the winter in the shed. Looks like it was the right thing to do......

  3. What an inspiring post. Happiness is seeing what's blooming and flying and crawling in your garden.
    Lovely photos - all of them. I can't even begin to choose a favourite.
    Happy Spring - and enjoy the coming weeks with your family.

  5. Bee- ing happy is just a bee away!
    Oh my what a happy post.
    Lovely, lovely indeed.
    I so very much enjoyed seeing your bugs...I do miss them in the winter. Ours are waking up too. Your Robin is a charmer.
    I am learning about the bee hive. I imagine I am receiving "lessons from the hive"! This morning when I had my toast with honey I was sure it was bee bread. I also am thinking about bee space....the hive is orderly with so many sisters taking care of everything.
    Your darling little toad just made my heart leap for joy.....Spring in your garden is gorgeous.
    Happy Sunday Safari!
    Bee-ing grateful for you. Bee-ing true.
    Hugs,
    Sherry, who loves the bees too

  12. Gosh! It's such a long time since I visited your wonderful sanctuary, dear Cheryl. We have had a new addition to our family... and this little bundle of joy has my undivided attention... He has stolen my heart away. He lives in Paris, which has meant as many visits as we can cram in, to see him...and the neglect of my gardening journal, and my visits to friends :)

    As always, I have loved wandering through your wonderland with its myriad of birdlife, butterflies and cornucopia of delights...truly magnificent :)

    Happy Easter, dear Friend :)

  13. I'd be so excited to find a black and white ladybird like the one in your photo, in my garden.

    Happy Easter season.
