Wish I had time to read all the comments! I have had a bag of gourds for a long time just waiting for some embellishment. Thanks so much for the opportunity and the weather here in the south of Australia is your typical gorgeous autumn weather at the moment.

Hi, Alisa! We have our short and lovely spring in Spain: sunshine and warm temperatures for almost two months. Orange trees are blooming, so azahar or "orange blossom" is giving off its sweet perfume. Sky is dressed in cobalt blue and we have right now about 15 degrees. Another perfect day... And I wish you an identical sunny day!
Thank you for these great giveaways!

Happy bday!!!
I live in Oregon and as u know it can be very gray and rainy. But at the moment I'm in Florida visiting family and its a beautiful morning around 60F, blue sky and beach surrounded by palm trees and seagulls happily pecking the sand, some boats out in the horizon and barelly any breeze but can still feel and smell the intoxicating scent of the ocean

Beautiful clear blue skies and 60 degrees!

Unknown said...

Here in northwest Tennessee, the daffodils have decided to poke up from their winter hiding places and announce Spring! The sun is shining, birds are singing everywhere and the pond is full of croaking frogs. The cats are outside on the patio soaking up the sunshine rather than staying inside in front of their heater on the enclosed porch. The dogs are chomping at the new sprigs of green popping up in the yard though I imagine they are disappointed that most of it is wild green onions. Wait! Why am I sitting in here looking out there?! Bye!

feather in my cap said...

After 3 months of continual below zero temps and lots and lots of snow, the roof is dripping, snow banks melting and the chickadees are chirping at my window feeder as temps rise above 30. Happy Spring!

mmc said...

After yesterday's snow storm, today is sunny and cold (well below freezing). It looks like it should be January outside with the fresh white snow. Sadly its March. Happy Birthday!

Wendy said...

Finally no Snow, no freezing rain or drizzle I think the sun might shine to make the ground look like the angels sprinkled it with glitter . I broke the handle on my previous burner(dropped it on the concrete basement floor one time too many)would like to try your buttons idea. I would put a pin back on it to secure a wool scarf/shawl over a light sweater or blouse while to temperatures stay below warm, expecting -20C + wind chill, -35to -40 on the skin, cover those exposed areas.
