A little sunshine on a rainy day



The  rain might be falling hard here today and it is predicted to be like this for the next couple of weeks, so I will bring a little sunshine to my post today.
On my walk I could not help but get out my camera when I saw the daffodils waving about in the breeze in some of the gardens around. I love the bright yellow colour  and it always makes me feel happy seeing them


Tonight we are celebrating Marcel's birthday. 18th of September is the actual day, 25 years ago we were excited to have you come into our lives and join our little family.
The photo above was taken when our children were asked to model for a hairdressing magazine. They were given a nice haircut and style and featured in the magazine, so that was a fun thing for them to do.
Happy birthday and may it be a great year ahead. The graduation was a few years back,  and we are so very proud of all you have achieved in your life


Go confidently in the direction of your dreams .... live the life you have imagined
~Henry David Thoreau

Just want to say, many thanks for the kind notes you left, and I am feeling much better and over the flu now. Appreciate the kindness of each and everyone and value your friendship
Wishing you a happy weekend

hugs
Carolyn

    What a handsome son you have! And what fun it must have been to have him featured in a magazine. They grow up too fast, don't they?

  13. You always have beautiful bright flowers in your posts. So true, flowers always bring sunshine to one's life. A couple weeks of rain does sound like a lot, although we really need that here in California this year. We are spoiled by sunshine though, and start to complain after a couple days of it.

  18. How lovely to see a daffodil, we have to wait until March for the first ones. It’s just starting to get wintry here (although it is only autumn), and I’m already longing for springtime!
    Happy Birthday Marcel I’m sorry I’m a little late, but I’ve been on holiday and am only just catching up. Also very many congratulations on your graduation – you look so smart.
    Glad you are feeling better Carolyn. We flew home on Friday, and I am sure I have a cold on the way – sore throat and feeling just a little off colour. I’m doing my best to fight it off but sometimes these things win out! xx
