Welcome November!



A day is too precious to let it pass by unnoticed.
Each evening it is nice to set aside a minute to think what we have done that day and many times I think I have not really done very much. I probably need to try a little harder tomorrow.

If you sit down at set of sun
And count the acts that you have done,
And counting, find
One self-denying deed, one word
That eased the heart of him who heard,
One glance most kind
That fell like sunshine where it went -
Then you may count that day well spent.
~George Eliot

Down at my old Family home, the orange and lemon trees were laden with wonderful fruit.
It is lovely to be able to go out, pick fruit off the trees and enjoy it.
There are also apple trees, one of which was a new French apple tree, that my Father had planted just before he went into hospital.
We brought the tree back to our place, and yesterday DH planted it in the garden.
I am looking forward to the day when we can go out and pick, a delicious juicy apple off the tree.

Many thanks for your kind words you left for me and also for visiting my daughter's blog.

Happy week
Hugs

Yellow Mellow.

Today something tells me, that I needed to do a yellow post.
First my husband came home with these lovely yellow tulips that look so beautiful in a vase in the kitchen.
It was pouring with rain, so they added a little bit of brightness to a dull day outside.
We decided to go out for a drive and have a coffee and when I saw some more yellow, I got DH
to stop and take a photo.
I spotted this lineup of bright little hire scooters, probably driven by some holidaymakers, sheltering from the rain, in one of the cafes.

Do you ever stop to take photos and then see someone is looking at you and probably wondering why you are taking photos of some scooters!... Oh they are for my blog.

I hope that you are having a great week
Hugs
