LIfe is busy

Dear friends,


Hope all is well with you all
 We had the pleasure of having our dear daughter home for the weekend and we always enjoy our times with her. Going for lovely long walks and having her back home.
Out on our walk we spotted a Mother duck and ducklings - could not get any closer as it was private property and sorry it is not very clear



Last week I downloaded a new upgrade to my iphone and after that I could not get anything to work, my computer, fitbit wasn't telling me how many steps I was taking, and then was not able to download photos. Thankfully after spending time with the Apple help desk I  now have the operating system Sierra and everything seems to be up and running again. Very frustrating when you are unable to get things to work, so now I look forward to coming over to visit you.


 Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible
~ Dalai Lama

Hope your weekend is lovely and now wishing you a happy new week ahead
hugs
Carolyn

  3. Happy new week to you too Carolyn. The mummy duck and babies are adorable and are those snowdrops in your pot? If so it must be spring where you are? I adore snowdrops although mine are much smaller than the ones in your picture. xx

      The blooms are snowdrops - I love lily of the valley and actually planted a bulb but don't know what happened to it.

  14. Dearest Carolyn,
    What a blissful time spent together with your dear daughter!
    Oh, our modern day communication gadgets can cause us some problems from time to time. I often wonder if it is build in with those updates?!
    They more or less control us...
    Sending you hugs,

  15. It's always a special when you can spend time with a precious daughter! Lovely to see the mother duck and young. Here they are flying south for the winter and I hear them overhead. Technology can certainly be frustrating - glad that you have it all working again. Hope you have a lovely spring day. Hugs xo Karen

  21. Hello Carolyn. I often think of you on the other side of the world embracing Spring weather as I am doing my best to be happy it's Autumn here. Dreading Winter. Sorry. I am envious of your weather! Blessings,
