Gentle posts for gentle folks

Good Afternoon, Kaila and Friends. 🤗 :coffee: 🌷

Enjoying a very warm day here! Well, enjoying is not the best word as I don't care for warm weather, but on the Lucius walk this afternoon, I reminded myself of how cold I was very recently and that helped me appreciate the current weather more.

@Kaila, I usually post my pictures and then, sometimes, click on them and drag the arrows to resize them down a bit.

--Which reminds me that I need to post something on the bird feeder thread. I haven't been watching the feeder much lately, but husband has and says we haven't been getting visits from the usual stars, of late.

The seed we ordered was changed without warning to include peanuts (we got a refund), and the birds don't want them. I don't know, though, why that should stop them from enjoying the other seeds. 🤷‍♀️

Beautiful flower pictures from both @Kaila and @Pam, the last couple days! Thank you guys for sharing them. 🤗

I have been feeling a bit eh, drawn inward lately, which is not unusual, really; it happens and I come back around, eventually.

I'm noting that in case I post less here and there so you guys don't worry, because you're awesome like that. 🥰

Wishing everyone on Kaila's Come-As-You-Are thread a peaceful Monday afternoon. 🥕🥕🥕

Good afternoon, all. Nothing exciting happening here. Spent most of the day doing cross stitch. Rocco has gone home although he didn't want to move off the settee when inlaws came to collect him. 🤣

Love it that your crocus have finally made an appearance @Kaila. They are beautiful. I will definitely have to get some, I felt sure I had some in one of the tubs but I was wrong. Think I might get some snowdrop bulbs too.

Youngest son and grandson are on their way round so am looking forward to a catch up, especially with grandson as he's been working 6 straight days and now has a few days off.

Hope everyone is feeling okay. 🥕🥕🥕

Thank you for this feedback on the size of the photos i post.
I'm also still appreciative, that you encouraged me, some weeks ago; that I could figure out how to post my photos, in the first place!😉☺️🥰

Below is the first daffodils in bloom, that I've seen in my area, and they're in our flower bed.

I’ve already seen the photos
I’ll post my daffodils at our last house. I loved seeing them and hyacinths and crocuses , plus my spring clematis, tulips and peonies.

Those are lovely and cheerful, along the edge, there by your previous home. 🤗

I have some here, like those, but they aren't up as high yet, and don't have bud stalks.
Perhaps because they aren't as close to the building.... or possibly, it's the different species that comes a little later.

I have about 4 different types of daffodils. All so welcome after the long winter and during the very gradual changeover to true spring weather, which often comes around June 1st, here. 🙄

Thank you very much. It was nearly 17 months ago, since I started this thread.

Seems like you are reading the beginning of it, now.
I appreciate your caring. ☺️

I've made a lot of significant strides since then , thankfully. Still have many ongoing challenges.
Thanks for your interest. 😀

Recently I began a difficult water therapy type of P.T., hoping to make some other breakthrough, if it might be possible.
 
Good morning ... managed to persuade Rocco to walk round the park. He was reluctant at first but... we made it! It's only a few minutes away and once we get there, he loves it.

@Medusa, what a handsome doggie Lucius is. 🥰 Thanks for posting the pics of him.

I mentioned that grandson was coming round yesterday. He was very pleased to be able to tell me that he has now completed his apprenticeship and his job is secured. He works 12 hour shifts starting at 6.30 am and really enjoys it. He's a really lovely lad, yes I know I am biased but he really is. I can get a bit annoyed when people constantly berate the youth of today. Both him and his close mates left school and went straight into work and they are a great bunch of lads. I'll get off my soapbox now.😉

@Kaila - love the pictures of your flowers. It does finally seem that Spring has finally arrived for you.

Here's a photo of a coot we saw this morning.

Have a good day everyone. ☺️
 
To Kaila & friends.
It’s Thursday today, the weekend is coming up but all the days are the same to me which is why I keep getting them wrong on here.
I hope you all have a wonderful day.
Today I realized that this is a diary thread. I didn’t know that.

I hope you keep feeling better Kaila. I’m glad you like your aquatic physical therapy. Exercising in water is so gentle & forgiving..

Thanks for that soapbox speech, 😄😉🤗
@Pam
It's truly great to read your positive reminders that there are lots of wonderful young people, nowadays!!🤩

Including that dear grandson of yours!🥰

It's nice to read about him and his friends;

And always enjoyable as well, to read your description of Rocco's behaviors and moods.🐶😍

Loved the picture of the coot, in the water and reeds. Nature is so fascinating.

Those two look so cuddly!
And so inseparable. ☺️☺️

The water is an extremely different environment, to be surrounded by.
I do love it, even though it's exhausting for me.
