MLMM Photo Challenge #466

Sarah is our host and this is our picture to work with this week.
It had been his dream, to take part in the Winter Olympics as a ski jumper.
He closed his eyes and could feel the wind in his ears as he flew through the air.
Soaring above the crowds, all cheering him on, the cameras were on him as he made his descent. Continue reading

Kissable

Christine is our host for the Simply 6 Minutes challenge and this is our picture:

Baby girl after eating a red passion fruit

Eyes just like her mother,
Big, brown and deep,
I thought she had been napping,
But she’d been far from asleep:
Fingers helping herself from the fruit bowl,
Teeth taking a juicy bite,
Mouth stained red, so kissable,
I grin and think I just might
Gobble her up in an instant,
Make her squeal and leave us both giggling,
Gather her into my tender embrace
As I try to stop her wriggling.
‘Mummy will be home soon,
Let’s get you all shining and clean,
Then put you back to bed to sleep,
And drift in the clouds of dream.’
She snuggles into my shoulder
As I carry her upstairs to bed,
Tuck her in and kiss her goodnight,
And she whispers,
‘I love you Daddy’.

CFFC: Colorful Monochromes

This week our topic is Colorful Monochromes. Your photos needs to be at least 90% one color hue.
Thanks Cee

I made a few Hello cards today and some were colour co-ordinated in blue, mauve and pink, including the cards themselves so I hope these are acceptable:

Recharging Batteries

After the multitude of birthdays, anniversaries,  doctors, hospital and clinic appointments, May is slowing down to a halt and we are looking forward to a pretty quiet day today.

Hubby was reading an article yesterday and it would appear there is a rather nasty Summer Flu bug doing the rounds which is knocking people for six for 2 to 3 weeks.
Ah, sounds familiar and today is my 18th day. The nasal spray has definitely helped and my headache is almost gone, so maybe it has had enough of me and is moving on.

Truthful Tuesday 30th May

Welcome to Truthful Tuesday, a prompt originally set by PCGuyIV, covered by Melanie and now one I am hosting until he wants to take it back.
Unlike Fibbing Friday, the concept is quite simple in that I ask a question and you reply honestly and truthfully.
You can either leave your reply in the comments or write your own post and pingback to this one, then leave a link in the comments so that I can find it.

My question this week is

Have you ever/wanted to own an allotment?

Addendum:
My apologies to my American readers who are not familiar with the term allotment.
According to google:
An allotment is an area of land, leased either from a private or local authority landlord, for the use of growing fruit and vegetables. In some cases this land will also be used for the growing of ornamental plants, and the keeping of hens, rabbits and bees.

Full of promise

Summer is on its way and our roses are budding up.
The Ancient Mariner never fails us and was a house warming gift from some very dear friends from our boating days in 2017.
I counted over 75 buds on it either last year or the year before, and this year there are just too many to count.
