Thursday Trios – Four Days Late

apologies to all my followers who participate in Thursday Trios

Even though I have always said you can post your trios on any day of the week I’ve always felt that as the host of this challenge I should make every attempt to post my contribution on Thursday. It has been a crazy week. Not only was I super busy installing my art show but I ended up going to two concerts, a reception and a dinner all on the same day which just happened to be Thursday. On Friday I was back at the gallery waiting to meet family members but due to a mix up they didn’t show. They came the next day, Saturday, when I had my official opening reception. A wonderful day that I will talk more about in another post. On Sunday when I did try to post on my blog my photos weren’t transferring over to my computer, my Facebook page had changed and it took me ages to get it back to where I wanted it and I had loads of laundry that I needed to do.

Anyway, I also had to go out and find some trios on Sunday so my contribution this week consists of spring flowers.

Weekly Prompts Weekend Challenge – Enliven

thanks to Sue W and GC for hosting weekly promptshttps://weeklyprompts.com/2023/04/29/weekly-prompts-weekend-challenge-enliven/

I feel enlivened with all the new growth after winter and even with the rain because I know that with it comes more growth and lush greens and colours. Walking also enlivens me, rain or shine.

My Last Bright Square for April

….thanks to Becky B for hosting BrightSquare all month https://beckybofwinchester.com/2021/04/30/bright-square-30/comment-page-1/#comment-57194

I can’t believe that another month has gone by. A lot has happened this month, some good and some not so good. The good side is that both my husband and I have received our first vaccination and our daughter and her husband in Hamilton have also been vaccinated. Our eldest daughter was suppose to get her shot today but her appointment was cancelled because they ran out of vaccines. She’s not too worried because the government is opening up clinics for her age group in 10 days.

I’m ending this challenge with a bright square of one of the beautiful gardens in the neighbourhood. All the bright whites and colours brighten my day and I hope these flowers are a bright spot in your day.

New Flower (April 21, 2021) – Spring Flowers Under a Blanket of Snow

this snow literally came down overnight

Even for Southern Ontario in Canada, snow this late into April is not the norm. It’s ironic that we had so little snow this winter and Mother Nature decided make up for it well into spring. Four hours later all this snow has already disappeared.
