TODAY'S FLOWERS, I Heart Macro, Nature Notes & OUR WORLD - Surprises


The only patch of blue from my prison window last week
and even for that, I had to get out of bed
and squeeze myself sideways against the window
and point my iPhone at an odd angle 
to catch it.

An unexpected three days in a couple of hospitals for tests
kept me grounded for a bit
but here I am again


it was almost worth being away to come home to 
full-blown Spring when we were still in official Winter


suddenly all fruiting trees had put on their finery
Prunus, above


Bridal Veil swaying in the breeze


my once perfectly kept garden
did me proud with a show of beauty among the weeds


Prunus and Almond hiding the paddock behind


Almond blossom, all are much bette enlarged


double flowering plum
and below, a dessert plum on the espalier


a joyful homecoming indeed!

Linking with 




and OUR WORLD

SkyWatch ~ Sunrise for Train Ride


Last Friday I rose at dawn to catch the train to Melbourne
to spend 3 days with my sister in hospital. The morning
dawned beautifully,


the colours deepening and painting the sky


by the time they had fully coloured the sky, I was up and
ready to leave for the 8 1/2 hr train ride.



I am back now but in not too fit a state for blogging. Please
excuse it if I don't manage to visit your particular blog. I hope
the time will come again when I can engage fully again with
the blogging community.

Show the wonders of your skies and join SkyWatch!

SkyWatch ~ Lazarus Rises Again

Life so unexpectedly, occasionally whips up unavoidable storm
clouds.



I seem to have developed a habit of knocking on the pearly gates.
Had I been a Victorian heroine of old, I would simply have fainted
at the sight of blood and that would have been that.

Your's truly though, when faced with a spurting vein, grabbed
anything for a pad, strapped it with an elastic bandage and, since
there was no-one else around, drove myself into the nearest hospital.

Exactly a month later, with nasty germs colonizing my man-made
as well as other heat valves, I have just today been given home
detention with daily anti-biotic infusions by a visiting nurse for at
least three more weeks.

To all of my staunch friends and followers who have sent me love and
support, you cannot imagine how much your caring has meant to me
and how much your healing thoughts have helped to bring me back
again. I carry you all in my heart and only wish I could give you all
individual hugs.

Below is proof that every cloud has a silver lining!



Life is so fragile, live it as though there were no tomorrow!
