…Jan. 24, 2021 was Sevin’s first birthday
It was more than just our granddaughter’s first birthday.
First Snow
First time with balloons and new toys and close to taking first steps.
First time wearing her new outfit that Auntie Gaelan made her.
First birthday cake and first Zoom birthday party for all of us.
Happy day of firsts.
….still going strong and sometimes Kevin gives us two monsters

I climbed up the first set of stairs but I thought twice about taking those steps in the second photo. Instead I opted to walk up the road a little further down the path.
…January 23rd was International Handwriting Day
I know I’m now a couple of days late to make this announcement but at the time I thought it was interesting. Handwriting really has become a lost art. In honour of the day I created a simple piece of art and second abstract piece.

Nothing cheers me up more that a bouquet of fresh flowers. Two of my favourites are these mini irises and yellow tulips.
Of course my granddaughters cheer me up even when I can only see them over the phone. Today is a special day in our family. It is Sevin’s first birthday today. We’re getting ready for a Zoom birthday party in the next few minutes.
Cheers!
…thanks to Becca Givens for hosting Sunday Trees
This copper beach has so much character and texture I had to show you some close-ups of its beautiful bark. It appears that Becca Givens is still on a pause. Hopefully she’ll return soon with more of her beautiful photos of trees.

The temperatures are finally beginning to fall and with that comes abandoned outdoor seating. Over in London, where my family has to work from home, even a spot at the end of the bed becomes a seat to work from and in the case of our granddaughter the floor under a desk is good spot to sit so that she can be close to her Papa.

These two lovelies are my granddaughters, Winnie and Sevin. Winnie is five and Sevin turns one tomorrow. Happy Birthday, sweet girl!
I found this beautiful video on YouTube that I think is perfect for this challenge and the music is great.
