Always nice to have fresh herbs handy, on the windowsill
A few tufts of down cling to the feathers of this newly fledged young Kakapo. Thanks to the continuing breeding success and a bumper season in 2009 Kakapo numbers have surged to 124 at the time of printing.

May you always be blessed with walls for the wind
A roof for the rain
A warm cup of tea by the fire.
Laughter to cheer you
Those you love near you
And all that your heart might desire.
~ Irish blessing.
My daughter and I are having the day out tomorrow - we are looking forward to visiting the Auckland Art Gallery to see the Exhibition, showing the works of Degas to Dali.
Then maybe some shopping and lunch. Do you have anything special planned for the weekend?
Happy Saint Patrick's Day and wishing you a wonderful weekend
Hugs
Carolyn
Hi Carolyn,
ReplyDeleteYes, it is always great to have fresh herbs to cook with. Some of mine are starting to poke some little green leaves through the ground. The chives are up and ready to use.:)
Have a beautiful day out with your daughter. Hopefully you'll have some great weather. Will not be out much over the weekend, thunderstorms predicted until Sunday.

Dearest Carolyn,
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the time with your daughter; that is always special! Nice tribute to 'Green' for the St. Patrick's festival. That is being celebrated here big time as the city is called Dublin.
Love to you,
Mariette
Hi Carolyn...
ReplyDeleteI do love your little herb garden. They are all very healthy looking. Your salads will be wonderful with the fresh herbs.
Hope you had a lovely day with your daughter. The Art Gallery and shopping will be fun!
Friends are taking us out for brunch on Sunday. We are looking forward to the treat out. Our grandson will be spending a couple of nights with us next week. We are looking forward to it.
Better run for now. Have a wonderful week dear friend.
Hugs, Nancy xo

Caroly,

Hi Carolyn, What a beautiful post of greens. It is always a refreshing and cool color I think. Love the sweet little color and eyes of the Kakapo.
ReplyDeleteHerbs on the windowsill remind me of my grandmother. I can still remember the scents in her kitchen and when I catch the scent of basil, it takes me right back to that time.
Happy St. Patrick's Day my friend. Love the Irish blessing.
Sending much love your way.

Happy St. Paddy's day Carolyn!! Love the herbs...they never last on my windowsill but do fine in the garden with Mother Nature helping :). Love, love, love that suit. Wouldn't it be fun to wear! And I really love the picture of the kakapo...what a sweetie. Glad they are slowly coming back.
ReplyDeleteHave a beautiful, fun day with your daughter!

Our weekend is supposed to be over but the Ministry called school off because of the dust storm. Crazy thing is, weather was worse yesterday so it just doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me. But I've already been to the yarn store, done some grocery shopping and now I am gonna do some cleaning before I crochet and stitch the rest of the afternoon.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your day out and about! Best wishes and blessings, Tammy
Oh you darling friend, you. Thank you for visiting and looking at my wares. It is just so fun to create things.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your new day dear friend! Anita
Sounds like a wonderful day! I spent most of yesterday thrifting with my dearest friend, Christine, and then sewing on another new gown for the upcoming reenactment in Charleston:).
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Kim
Hope you had a lovely St. Patrick's Day and a wonderful weekend!
