Flamin’ ‘eck

Whatever happened to Flaming June?
The only thing missing from the beach today is this:
These pictures were taken in November 2017, and that is how it feels today, like a chilly November day.

Welcome to Dingle

Everyone welcome,
Inside and out,
There is something for all,
Of that there’s no doubt.
Warm and inviting,
Lights show the way,
Make yourself comfortable,
You’re welcome to stay.
There are trees for the birds,
Flowers for the bees,
Toadstools for the elves
To share with the fairies.
Stables for the horses,
Fresh water and hay,
A blanket and shelter,
There’s nothing to pay.
A home of perfection,
Nature at its best,
Everyone is welcome,
Everyone a guest.

Playing cards

I said the other day that I had some trimmings to play with and posted the results for Cee’s monochrome challenge.
These butterflies come in packs of two and have a thin transparent fabric over the wings which I didn’t realise until I used them. This isn’t stuck down, so I would think maybe it flutters on a light breeze which would be quite effective.

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.

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’.

5 Things Tuesday: Favourite TeaTime Treats

Dr Tanya is our host and today is asking for our 5 tea time treats. OH YUM!
We have our main meal during the day and a snack anytime between 4pm and 7pm.
Sometimes we get an attack of the munchies and then we’re snacking all the time.

Anyway, here is my top 5:

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.
