welcome weekend....

and nice to see you once again....

 weather in my little corner of the world is a bit confused
and doesn't seem to know what to do

the sun was in and and then it was out
in and out
out and in
but mostly in...

but when it did shine it was such a welcome surprise


I enjoyed some lovely walks when the raindrops took a rest

and everything is certainly green and beautiful here




it all looks so

 f r e s h

but because of the rainfall
my washing basket is getting bigger and bigger
and bigger and bigger

it will be Christmas by the time I clear it all....

I ♥  Friday

the end of the working week
no early mornings for two days
time for relaxing with family,
lazy daisy days (well except for the laundry)!

H e a v e n

time to go now
time to pour a little glass of something nice
and time to snuggle up and relax!


Wishing you a wonderful happy weekend
full of sunshine and smiles

***

do you have a favourite day of the week?

{a little bit of this and a little bit of that}


My goodness we certainly have some weather changes here in Ireland
you could never say it was boring
blue skies and sunshine one day and  pouring with rain the next!

 Monday's sky


H A P P  D A Y S

but later during the weekrain, rain and lots more rain
and what day did the  school pick to go
on their trip to County Wicklow?

Beautiful scenery but viewed through a haze of raindrops!



and later it got worse and we couldn't see the scenery at all!!


The field behind our house is so  PRETTY   at the moment
it is full of beautiful golden yellow buttercups which glisten
in both the sunshine and the rain!


This guy lives there
he isn't the friendliest or the prettiest
but he  is very nosey!



and finally, I have been challenged by the lovely Heidi 
 to tell you five random facts about myself
so here goes -
 *   when I met my husband it was love at first sight
something just clicked inside my heart
and hasn't stopped since
he made me laugh and still does....

*   I am  what style experts describe  as an "apple shape"
wide shoulders, slim hips and store my weight on my tummy
yep I'm a  jelly belly!

*   my favourite drink is  red wine
 and I love the glug glug sound it makes when poured into a glass
I like drinking it too
 oops maybe that is why I'm a jelly belly!!!!

*    I hate that my eyesight is going
once I hit 40 my eyesight started to go downhill
and I needed glasses for reading. 
 It makes me sad that I can't read without them....
plus I am always losing them
- couldn't find them on Friday
but low and behold I opened the dishwasher
and there they were having been through the wash
they were SPARKLING!!!


*  I adore shopping,
I love mooching around shops and picking up pretty things.
I even like food shopping and am a bit like Mister above
 as I look into other people's trolley's to see what they are buying!
blush, blush......

*   I love being a mum
it is what I do best
I met someone yesterday who told me
you are such a "mum"
but sure that's my job
and isn't it a privilege to have that job!


Oops that's 6 things!
another thing is that  I do get carried away at times!!!



I have to challenge 5 others now
but I am going to take the easy way out
and hope that perhaps some of you might take up the challenge
 and divulge some bitsy bits about yourself.
As I said, I'm a bit nosey and so would love to hear about you!

anyone willing?

***

oops and oops again before I go I almost forgot to tell you
that Raindrops and Daisies is now on Facebook
click the badge on the right of the blog to view or here
I would love if you would  visit me as I'm a bit lonely,
 maybe say hi and you could even "like" the page,
so what do you think......

Wishing you all a wonderful week full of happy times

this week was all about......

     feeling under the weather and confined to the house, so much housework to be done but no energy to do it,
maybe tomorrow.....


when feeling cold and fluey you need to be warm and close to the heat....

Flicking through glossy magazines passed some time, lots of lovely recipes and fashion, hmmm maybe now that I'm not eating I might drop a size!!!



but being stuck indoors is no fun so .....

it was great to see  a blue sky today which makes a change!


The farmer across the road has started to plough his field, he will plant it soon with wonderful wheat and barley and we will look forward to a good crop and lots of haystacks in Summer.


The flower bulbs have started to bloom.....




I started to knit a wrap for myself




and it was Valentines day on Tuesday and my lovely husband gave me some lovely flowers.




I hope that you have all had a good week

♥ red  

I planted an Amarylis flower bulb 
on New Year's day
and it has produced the most wonderful flowers.



Something so simple turned into something beautiful.


I have it on the kitchen windowsill and everytime I look at it
it makes me smile!



Happy Friday to you all.

ivy leaves from the garden
added to some white flowers...
 candlelight...


I adore candleight,
the flickering flame, the sense of peace,

fire lit, doors closed, all well in the house and just waiting for lovely husband to arrive home from work to share...



~Happy Saturday~

time please don't go by so quickly....

as+ I seem to be constantly chasing after you. trying to play catchup.

December is almost upon us,
so much to do and yet the days are running away from me...

Is it just me....

Today was a beautiful Winters day
so myself, hubby and son out for a walk.

The sky was a magnificent shade of blue and the church seemed to bask in its glory.


We passed this gorgeous house on the way



All the lovely beech trees have become brown and withered but they still look good
and the garden is almost bare as
my lovely blooms have long disappeared,
except for one or two.

A lonesome rose

last of the hydrangeas,
 the rest are brown and mushy after being hit by frost last week.
and my favourite which reminds me
of summer and has me looking forward  to things to come

A few hours home alone. 

A roaring fire on a cold night.

Sipping a glass of red wine.

Fresh sheets on my bed that smell of clean fresh air.

Listening to the rain beating against the window.

The laughter of children.

Candlelight.

Piano music playing softly in the background.

Memories.

A hot shower with LEMON scented gel.
