Signs of life

003008009013

finally the sun is shining

enough to reflect of  all the crystals in the windows  and make rainbow on the walls.

dancing around.

windows flung wide open

fresh, spring air blowing through the house

last remnants of this long winter cleared out.

my seedlings are growing, waiting for the sun to warm up the soil enough that they can go outside.

and i am reading, everything i can. learning and planning this little garden of mine.

working towards becoming more self-sufficient.

the girls love watching the seeds grow. to see life come from a tiny seed.

the sun is welcomed here with open arms.

    EEEE, birdhouse! I have a goal… make my own (well, NOT FOR ME, but for the birds outside!) Also, we planted our seeds this evening. <3 I hope they grow and I hope yours do as well!

    Hi Polly,
    Sorry to hear you’ve been hurt by remarks made on the web, look after yourself and keep doing what you are brilliant at…………’being you’.
    Lovely photos Polly, the promise of so much to come, I’ve washing out on the line at the moment, it’s so windy it will dry and the smell of the clothes when you bring them in…you can’t beat.
    Hope the parcel is the Doc Martens (any chance of a photos – I love dm’s)
    Have a lovely weekend.
    luv
    Maura xx
