i heart hearts

After a little retail therapy the other day, I arrived home with 2 heart shaped items. 2 more heart shaped items to add to several already in my possession. I am drawn to the heart shape. Apart from its romantic connotations, it's such a pleasing and beautiful form, curved and voluptuous. It can be sewn, crocheted, baked, eaten, drawn and even planted in the garden.

I loved this when I spied it on the shelves. Great for all my potions and lotions.

And this little box too.  

Heart-warming!

Green fingers!

I hope you have enjoyed all this greenness! I'd love to feature another colour theme in the coming weeks......I wonder which I'll choose?

These trees really stand out in their urban surroundings

I thought it would be interesting to have a colour theme to my posts for the rest of this week. A couple of blogs I read took part in a "green" week recently, which is a lovely idea, so I thought I'd follow suit, and finish this week in green mood.

Salutations

Hello, and welcome. I start with trepidation, but excitement....I've wanted to write my own blog for some time now, but have contented myself with lurking in cyberspace and reading many blogs which I enjoy, until now. At last, I feel ready to let my voice be heard, and I hope you will enjoy reading about my life and loves, thoughts and observations.

My first photographic offerings are some images from my garden taken over the last week or so, as spring works its magic. I love my garden! It doesn't look very loveable at the moment, still recovering from a cold winter, but so many things have started growing recently, 

 

crocuses  

snowdrops  

 

daffodils  

 primroses

 

hellebores  

that it already looks more beautiful than I'd hoped for, having done no gardening whatsoever for the last 3 months.

 

Enjoy!
