Hi all, loving this thread.
@Former-Member, @Teej, I wonder why why all those photos from Teej's 2 April post are not yet visible? I'd like to see them! Teej, seems like you really like children's books! Occasionally I watch kids shows on TV. Something good about the optimistic simplicity. I like picture books too. I used to especially like those books that had pop ups inside.
@eth your challenges to yourself of writing, exercising and reducing smoking sound great. C and I had a walk in a big nature park yesterday, abundant with sub-tropical trees, a big pond with water fowl, geese, ducks (one group of them had a bunch of tiny chicks, too cute). The moon was high in the sky in the fading afternoon daylight. The water lilies were starting to bloom and it made me think of your long-time avatar. A few days ago, we visited the beach. So good to be in nature, healing and calming. That vege garden looks lush! Nice to see an approximation of yours. I like that you have the same pretty, delicate weed growing with your other plants too. Cool that you have got back into crocheting. I like the pattern. Is yours the same colour? Following image from the walk yesterday. You can't see the water lilies in bloom in this one, but gives some idea of the place.
@Exoplanet I love your rainbow image. Did you take the photo? Either way, it's uplifting to see. Hehe to not pulling weeds. I can't help but like some feral things, such as blackberries. Used to play with a bunch of feral kittens when I was only about three or four. They lived under the homestead. Love to you.
@Faith-and-Hope Enid Blyton's books were banned when I was in school, but I loved The Wishing Chair series anyway.
@Appleblossom I miss cats in my life. I stayed with a friend last year and she had five, a couple of them were semi-feral when she got them. The bigger ginger male took a shine to sleeping on me. I would wake up from a nap and there he'd be purring on my lap. Any time I sat in a chair he'd be onto me, haha.
@Owlunar I too love The Secret Garden. I saw it as a movie first at a young age. The film was old even then. It was only in adulthood that I read the book.
@Ant7 love that photo you posted for the Green challenge.
@Isabelle love your Green photo too. It's a coincidence with your forum name, that I also loved a book called 'Isabelle' when I was a very young child. Still remember it in my late fifties!
@Former-Member wow as well to your NZ photo. When I was there in the 1990s, I found the landscape breathtaking, north and south islands both.
Hi too to @Shaz51 @Snowie @Maggie @Lee82 @TAB, and anyone reading.
Catching up on challenges now:
Green
It makes me think of trees and their many various shades of green. The more trees the better!
The Letter T
Time fascinates me. I especially love the episodes of Star Trek that were all about time paradoxes.
Favourite colour thing at home
Blue is my colour this year for some reason. Can't get enough of it. The sky is the best blue. Still counts as being at home because I can see it from my courtyard.
