Today is a good one. See that shaft of sunlight across Popcorn's leg? Well, that is because the sun has come out!!! I haven't seen a glimpse of the sun for weeks!!!
I let the hens have a while to free range but they preferred to play games and follow each other in a circle. Daft birds!
A sunny but frosty day.
The cornflower blue sky fills me with so much hope.
I even managed to hang some washing outside to dry. So what if it is as stiff as cardboard when I bring it back inside later. At least I had the pleasure of hanging it out, listen to the birds sing and feel uplifted in a way that I haven't felt in ages.I am humming the theme tune to Little House on the Prairie, imagining I am in a long cotton dress and sunbonnet and running up a hill! 'Da da dada, da da da, da da dada.............!
You sound very positive!
ReplyDeleteI haven't dared to hang washing on the line yet - but I just might if the sun stays shining for awhile - it comes in so much fresher and easier to iron!
Its sunny here too, it is so much brighter today

It's such a beautiful day here too...a completely blue sky, which is so cheering!
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely week, Simone ;-)x
Beautiful day here too although still very cold. Doesn't a bit of sunshine lift the spirits and make you look forward to Spring?
ReplyDeleteSame here today, sunny but cold!!
ReplyDeleteIt's certainly true that the sun lifts the spirits, I can definitely see a little stretch in the evenings now too!

The sun always make things feel a bit better doesn't it? It is very sunny with us but cold. x
ReplyDeleteWe've had blue skies here too ... makes you feel so much better! My washing is still draped on radiators though. Well done you for getting yours outside!

Oh doesn't a bit of sun make all the difference in the world! I have actually spent the past couple of days clearing out the house as "Spring Cleaning" caught me as soon as the sun appeared... and my windows are now sparkly (on the inside at least) as the sun showed every single smudge and smear so clearly they just had to be cleaned so the beams shining through could be as perfect as possible *happy sigh* xx
ReplyDeletei love the little house on the prairie image :o)
ReplyDeletewe were blessed with the suns rays today too.
aww...i wish i had enough room to keep chickens. your photos are beautiful.
Fantastic blue skies here too. So cheering for the soul!
ReplyDeleteI hung washing out for the first time today too! And I opened all the windows.
ReplyDeleteOk I did have to shut them after about an hour because I was freezing and the pillow cases are now on the radiator because they didn't dry before it got dark but who cares!?!?!
WOOOO!!
Yes, I agree with you and with all your commenters - more sunny, bright days please! It's amazing the difference it makes.
ReplyDeleteYou sound very happy today , I awoke to sun today too and snow - was lovely and bright - so much better than grey .
ReplyDeleteIt seems it's been rather lovely everywhere! More of the same please... and a very belated happy new year to you Simone. I hope it's a positive and uplifting one.

What an uplifting post! I love your chickens and can imagine how lovely your clothes must have smelled when you took them inside and thawed them out!!
ReplyDeleteSunshine is wonderful, isn't it?
Everytime I see a blue sky I think of paint charts, hmmm;) The sun has been so nice though. Snowdrops soon!

Loved this post! Walnut Grove would have a been a wonderful place to live, wouldn't it? :-)
ReplyDeleteThe photo of the frosty leaf is beautiful!
And hoping the birds don't land on the line and add some color to your laundry. How unusual. I have never seen laundry hanging like this with the socks filling the empty space of the shirts, etc.
