Anyway, here we are in the month of February, and the days are gradually getting longer. Oh, deep joy! For some reason, this month always gives me hope. I think it's because the garden is very slowly starting to awaken, with the pretty snowdrops everywhere, and daffodils starting to appear once again in the garden.
I was casually thinking about life the other day, as you do, and thinking just what WAS important in our lives. I think this dreaded Pandemic has really focused our mind on that. Whilst lots of different things bring us joy and give us moments of happiness, I think most of us would agree that the linchpin of our lives are family and friendships. I think the absence of hugs over the past couple of years, has been a really big thing. Thankfully, I am now getting hugs from the family again, but I've noticed that even very good friends are much more reticent to hug each other at the moment, which is quite sad.
This next photo shows a nice cosy scene and the image after that is a pic of my Summer garden.
I hope you are all looking forward to brighter days once again - although many of you, of course, will have Autumn approaching, and the shorter days - and so the Seasons come and go. I am just thankful to be able to enjoy another year of looking forward to Spring, to hear the birdsong and to see the garden bloom once again.
I wish you all many happy and joyful moments in the year ahead, and I hope you will feel loved.

It’s definitely the little things that brighten us up. Sunshine, birds, flowers, beach etc. I would absolutely give you a big hug if I saw you. Someday my awesome friend! ��❤️
Awww, a hug from you would be so good! You might have to life me up though!! It's funny to see how far Eli has to bend over now to give his grandma a hug!! It really is the little things that matter my awesome friend. Hugs to you.
Sending you a BIG hug! Spring is on its way too!
Sending a big hug right back to you Nikki. How lovely to see you here! Yes, Spring isn't too far away now, and that makes me happy.
I get the after-Christmas blues in January. The lack of sunlight does this to us, doesn't it, my friend? Just the thought of Spring and the bright and sunny days that follow is enough to lift my mood and put a spring back in my step! Happy days ahead for all of us!
I get the winter blues, too, but it seems in your case, whether inside or outside of your home, there is beauty to enjoy everywhere. It's a matter of waitinga few more weeks and we will be outdoors in sunshine.
The little things can make a big difference, your garden is beautiful
Lovely to see you here Glenda, my twin! Yes, there's something g about January - I think most of us feel the same way about it. Onwards and upwards my friend! Hope you and your family are keeping well.
Hallo Linda. That's a lovely comment, and you're right, I do live in a beautiful spot, so I must be thankful. The days are gradually lengthening once again, and my soul will be revived once again. Take care.
Hi there Jo-Anne. Lovely to see your name pop up and I hope you and your family are keeping well. Thank you for your kind comment about my garden. You're quite right - it's the little things that truly matter.
