What's pleased you today? Don't even think about whinging here.

Today my 2 fave gfriends will be coming over for lunch. We haven't seen each other in at least 6 wks...
We've gotten a little rain this morning, but that's ok...the air is now fresh and clean.

I'm making chicken kebobs, pilaf and one of the girls is bringing a version of a summer salad. (cukes, tomatoes, onion and she's adding mozz cheese)

It pleases me that the sun is shining even though it is cold out.

I'm looking through the window at my dog Max, who is laying in the grass, enjoying the sunshine and listening to the sounds of the day. Sometimes I wish I could be more like Max and just enjoying being, without all this frickin' clutter inside my head. Ooops! Sorry! I was "whinging!"

Im pleased because my front brick sidewalk over the ugly concrete one is done.
And im almost done with the annual spring dividing and moving of the perennials.
Next comes a whole LOT of mulch. I will probably be whinging about that before Im done.

Great idea for a thread.

So far today, it's the usual things that make me happy, i.e., family, friends, exercise, meditation, cooking, walks, etc. But the thing is that I am grateful for these things every day. I know that sounds sappy, but truly, I am.

If something extra happens, I'll come back and gush about it.

I ventured to the top of Mt Dandenong this morning.
The Dandenong Ranges are east of the Victorian city of Melbourne.
Mountain Ash are the predominate trees. They form the temperate rainforest in this high rainfall area.
I will most definitely be returning for photographic purposes.
Todays' venture was a recce only as it was my first time visiting the area.

That rainforest picture is stunning.

Well, this morning I saw that my expensive Avon order will be here tomorrow.
Avon has Skin So Soft products that mosquitos hate. I am a mosquito magnet.
That made me feel better, now I can go outside this summer.
Does that count?

I love Avon! Skin-So-Soft is so much nicer than repellant. I need to find an Avon lady again or check online. They used to have a really nice, honeysuckle cream perfume.

Some weeks ago, I sowed some meconopsis seeds. They are gorgeous blue poppies also called Himalayan poppies. They are quite difficult to grow and with the climate changing, even here is the west of Scotland, the conditions are becoming less suitable.

Last year we moved house and I lifted several plants that I had grown several years ago - again from seed and replanted in the new garden. They did well, but the winter and invasive Spanish bluebells were too much for them and I lost them.

So, I am having to start again and sowed these seeds at the owrst time of the year to do so. I thought they would not come to anything but felt I could leave them until winter when they may show some signs of germination. Today, I noticed 4 tiny seedlings poking through the vermiculite. That made me smile.

Skin So Soft is onsale Online at Avon if you shop that way.
Better get it now, I do not know when the sale ends.
Also they could run out of stock like everything else seems to have done.

I've checked and, hurray, Amazon carries Avon Skin So Soft. Amazon is my go-to online shop. I probably won't get to take advantage of the sale, though. Oh, well.

that's the colour here in this part of the UK..we're surrounded by colour

I remember once flying back into the uk.. and there were 2 blokes in the seats behind us... and as we started the descent , one said to the other '' you'd think they manufactured Chlorophyll in the uk, everything is sooo green '''
