Recently we've had misty, drizzly weather so we've been staying at home apart from medical appointments (still on the phone), on-going dental work and the usual food shopping trips. In between Mr P has been looking after his seedlings and I've been doing some Spring cleaning ready for our daughter's stay at Easter. I learnt from the bone scan and blood tests that I have the onset of osteoporosis and my medication needs to be adjusted. I'll continue to be careful when out walking, but at the same time I intend to keep mobile. Our health situation is nothing compared with the terrible events happening in the world right now.
Yesterday we had a day of sunshine and blue skies. I looked out of our back bedroom window and I could see a tree in our neighbour's garden that was full of blossom and I had to follow that up by taking a walk down our lane.
As well as the snowdrops and primulas in flower in our garden there are one or two pansies all giving a little bit of bright colour. Most of the daffodils are ready to burst forth to show their pretty trumpet-like flowers.
nectarine blossom in our garden .....
More yellow flowers on the succulent plant on the kitchen window sill. (Mr P's vegetable seedlings are on all the other window sills although he has started to transfer some larger plants into bigger pots in the covered yard).
I finished one of my embroidery sets that one of the grandchildren and his family gave me during lockdown and I found a spare frame for it. My eyesight is not so good and I need to visit the optician to change my spectacle prescription. However, I enjoyed doing some of the stitches using my imagination to sew the flower patterns.
Yesterday we also went to the library in the park as part of my weekly routine. I took the library books back as I haven't been in the mood for reading and I can't spend time on that if I'm doing some needlework.
I'll share the photos I took of my walk in the walled garden at the end of the week.
Meanwhile, thank you for visiting. Have a peaceful day.
