My Saturday was busy - I had to work in the morning and picked up some groceries before heading home. Shortly after I got home a friend popped over and gave us a flat of their fresh eggs. They have too many eggs at times and can't eat them all, just as we would at times have too much of certain vegetables from our garden so quite often we swap and share our bounty with each other. After my friend left, my mom calls asking what my husband and I were going to be doing for supper (the kids are gone and it was just the two of us home this weekend). I told her we were going to go out somewhere for supper. She was calling to invite us out for supper - her and my dad's treat. We took them up on their offer and we had a good time. I had to work most of this past week and didn't get a chance to go visit them like I would normally do which I think they enjoy and must have missed me this week lol. I enjoy this time I still have with them and appreciate them every day. ❤
I hope your weekend has been going well.
Fill the frame alternate for this week. I like the shot, I just think the ornaments were more cheerful.

Thank you to everyone who pauses long enough to look at my photo. All comments and Faves are very much appreciated
Poppy is a girl's name of Latin and Old English origin and a beautiful flower (Papaver rhoeas). This name refers to a type of flower known for its bright, delicate petals. If you want to help baby appreciate life, from the beginning to the end, the name Poppy is sure to brighten up their spirits.
I was reading the Pennsylvania groundhog Phil Punxsutawney prediction of an early spring for our area; that's good news. How about a poppy flower to brighten the day after that news?
Thank you very much for your visit and comments, very much appreciated!
The theme for "Looking Close on Friday" for the 12th of May is "pebbles". Now, I have a very traditional cottage garden with lovely soft edges and meandering paths, but not a pebble in it! However, I am very fortunate in that my neighbours are currently doing some renovations to their home and gardens, and as such, had quite literally laid down a pebble path on the day the theme was announced! How fortuitous is that? So, I went next door and asked them whether I could photograph some of the pebbles that they had just freshly washed and laid down as a path in their garden! I hope you like my image for this week’s theme, and that it makes you smile!

Macro Mondays theme: Fill the Frame (with Plants)
I loved doing this theme as our house is filled with so many different varieties of house plants—almost too many to choose from! I found it difficult to choose between them (although now I've posted them both, I know which I'm going to choose). This one is a variety of Calathea. Trying to capture both the wonderful red underneath the leaves and the pattern on the top of the leaves was a challenge.
Always appreciate all your comments and favourites, HMM!

Breve antología mágica del bardo frances, Baudelaire.
Bon appétit!
“Vengas tu del infierno o del cielo, ¿qué importa,
¡Belleza!, monstruo enorme e ingenuo, mas temido,
si tus ojos, tu risa, tu pie, me abren la puerta
de un infinito que amo y que nunca he conocido?”...
“Y tu cuerpo se estira y se ladea
cual frágil navecilla
Metidos en el jardín de ‘Las flores del mal’
que hunde sus palos bajo la marea
cuando roza la orilla”...
“Tu mano roza en vano mi pecho que se arroba;
lo que ella busca, amiga, es sitio que ha saqueado
la mujer con sus garras y sus dientes de loba.
No hay corazón; las bestias ya lo han devorado”...
“Se juiciosa, oh mi pena, y a la calma ya vuelve.
Pedías el Ocaso; ya desciende, aquí llega;
una atmósfera oscura a la ciudad envuelve,
y a unos trae la paz que a los otros les niega”...
“Pero viajeros solo son aquellos que parten
por partir; corazones como globos, ligeros,
sin que de un fatal sino ellos jamás se aparten,
y siempre: ¡vamos! A ignotos derroteros”...
“¡Madre de los recuerdos, la amante más querida,
Tú, mis placeres todos! ¡Tú, todos mis deberes!
Te acordarás de cada caricia compartida,
del hogar, del hechizo de los atardeceres,
¡madre de los recuerdos, la amante más querida!”...
“Un fulgor… ¡y la noche! Fugitiva beldad,
cuyo mirar me ha hecho nacer una vez más,
¿no te veré ya nunca, sino en la eternidad?”.
Charles Baudelaire (1821-1867)

if i wasn't using the tiny blue flowers for macromonday, this might have been the posting for the theme of "into the woods".

I have two of these little cuties living in my backyard now. They are so tiny compared to the other squirrels. I'd say they are just slightly bigger than a Chipmunk.
