Today’s visitor was a colourful moth enjoying Love In A Mist. I too love the flower’s beautiful shade of blue. At the moment the garden is full of birds, bees and butterflies which I love to see. I haven’t had much time for gardening over the last couple of weeks, but I do walk around… Continue reading Sunshine’s Macro-Monday #52

WIP Wednesday- Almost Finished
I currently have 4 WIPs, although I intend to finish my shlanket tonight. (Find out more and get the link to the free pattern here.) I've saved this project for watching TV because it's easy and relaxing. It's been fun to knit because the colors are always changing. My little one loves it too and… Continue reading WIP Wednesday- Almost Finished
Emerging
July has given us some semblance of normality. At first I was hesitant to socialize with others, but I think it's important to keep living life and not let fear overwhelm us. My family continues to follow government guidelines and practice good sense so I trust that is enough to keep us safe. Over recent… Continue reading Emerging
Macro Monday #49: Bonfire and Bubbles
Nothing beats spontaneity. A visit from an old friend I haven’t seen since lockdown started, long chats, and an impromptu dinner with food gathered from the garden.

There are no prompts.… Continue reading Macro Monday #49: Bonfire and Bubbles
WIP Wednesday- Honolulu Top

By the end of the summer that will be me... windswept hair, walking along the beach (granted it will be the… Continue reading WIP Wednesday- Honolulu Top

Half of them didn't sprout which was pretty disappointing. We expected to have a lot of nasturtiums from the seeds we collected last year, but… Continue reading Macro Monday #48
Review of Sing, Unburied, Sing
"Home is about the earth. Whether the earth open up to you. Whether it pull you so close the space between you and it melt and y'all one and it beats like your heart." Richie Photo by Aman Bhatnagar on Pexels.com I finished Sing, Unburied, Sing nearly a month ago and have struggled to read… Continue reading Review of Sing, Unburied, Sing

Blown Budget
Sunshine’s Macro Monday #47
Daylilies remind me of my childhood home in Ohio so they hold a special place in my heart. They were the first flower I planted in my Irish garden when I moved here over 18 years ago. It always strikes me as sad that each flower only blooms for a day. Did you know that… Continue reading Sunshine’s Macro Monday #47
