Gentle posts for gentle folks

Spring has seemed to arrive here abouts, quite suddenly, this very week.

It was decidedly bleak and chilly, well into April and up until just a few days ago.

And though all of the tree branches are still totally bare (except those everloving evergreens , of course😉😊😁)

The brown mud and ground are now broken up in spots, by tufts of green blades of grass, and sprouts from bulbs of many varieties!

Only the crocus and earliest species of daffodils are in bloom, so far ,
but some of the perennials are beginning to break ground as well.

During this season, a lot changes, every couple of days!!!

Blink twice, and you'll have missed these springtime shifts, altogether.
😁😄😊☺️🤩☺️

How many days per week does grandson work that 12 hour shift?🤔
Is that a common or usual work schedule there?

He works on nuclear submarines in the shipyard and I think those shifts are common in that and the engineering discipline there. Not for office workers though, that would probably be a 9-5 job. His working day/pattern alters but I'm not sure how often. Recently he worked 5 or was it 6 days (can't remember) and is currently off for 3 days. He will go back on Sunday. I think I've got that correct.

He could have done an apprenticeship as a plant electrician, general electrical work around the shipyard, but he chose the advanced electrical submarine apprenticeship which is the actual installing and maintaining of electrical systems on nuclear submarines.
 
Good morning @Kaila and all.

Good to have you back, @CallMeKate:)

Rocco is fast asleep at the moment, having just eaten his breakfast so I'll leave it a little while before attempting to take him for a walk. I'll get on with a bit of cross stitch while he's quiet. At this rate I should get it finished for my son's birthday. Thank goodness it's not until Autumn. ;)

Hope you managed a chilled out night @MarciKS :)

Wishing you all a good day. 🥕🥕🥕
 
Thank you for that reply above,
@Pam
I found the entire explanation , veryinteresting!🤩🥰

Good morning to all of you, this Friday morning!🥕🥕🥕🥕🥕

I'm getting ready to go out, for an intense talk therapy session, this morning. Yikes. 🙄😏
Not fun, but hopefully helps, in it's own way.

It's rainy out, and gray and rather dreary weather....
But the bluebird couple, and goldfinches, on the feeder, are urging me forward. :giggle:
They are such fascinating creatures.

@Pam I did manage to relax the rest of the evening away. I watched tv and played Ooblets on the Xbox.

Morning all. Hand is killing me this morning. I barely slept. Nine more days til I get my shot. Not sure if I'll make it.
