It’s not Friday anymore, but Saturday… and still I wanted to do this. Just to look back over the week and notice what was there.
~ two walks in the woods ~
This week I was able to go to the woods twice, and I’m really grateful for that. It actually took a while before I could go again. The pollen I’m allergic to had to clear first, and my word for this year is patience — so yes, my patience was truly tested. But now there was space again. The fresh spring green… So beautiful. I even wrote a blog about it (you can read it here).
~ building something together ~
A friend from my new church and I had coffee together, and I helped her set up a blog. I really enjoyed that... something simple, but meaningful too. I didn’t take a picture of it, but it’s a good memory.
~ seeing the day off ~
My husband and I went out to watch the sunset. We kept walking… until it grew dark and the moon appeared. We saw the lapwing and the redshank again; both back. It was such a peaceful moment, stepping away from the busyness of life.
~ seeds coming up ~
Some time ago, I received a large box with flower and herb seeds as an Advent gift from my son. Each day I opened a little window with a new packet. Now they are starting to grow. That also asked for patience… but it’s so lovely to see them come up.
~ mother-daughter time ~
Today I had a little outing with my daughter. We walked through the yellow rapeseed fields — endless yellow, so bright and beautiful. Just being together like that was a gift.
Grateful for this week.
For what was simply there.
Wishing you a lovely weekend 🌿
You had a beautiful week. Walks in the woods and in the fields.
ReplyDeleteWatching seeds sprout and root is a wonderful part of spring.
And a coffee date is great.
Have a good weekend.
Sounds like a lovely week! Pollen is a problem walking or working outside this time of year. How kind to help your friend set up a blog. The Advent seed gift sounds like such a fun idea. Glad you had good walks with your husband and daughter.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading your post today. You enjoyed some special moments. My husband does not like to walk. We do have our tv programs we like to watch together. I wish we did not live in the city when I see all the country places. I do like looking out my window and see the palm trees sway ad the flowers blooming.
