Signs of Spring




A beautiful ginger cat passing by on a cobble street nearby.
Stopping to pose for a picture. Uh, probably not.

When January heads into February,
I'm always on the look out for little signs of Spring.

Snowdrops!!




Whenever I see Snowdrops peeking out of the ground, it brings me great joy.
To me they are the first sign that we're heading towards Spring.

Happy!




Here you see a spot on my messy worktable of this moment, where there's Rooibos tea, some poetry and a little needlework project. It will be a cross stitched rose and it will be incorporated in a... well
I don't know yet. Something with fabrics and laces no doubt.

Oh, and there are reading glasses too... My first. Can't thread the needle without them anymore, lol.




I'm sharing this longing-for-Spring-blog-post with my sweet blog friends at

Our Beautiful World

Where the prompt this week is (was, it's almost time for a new one) Signs of Spring. If you love taking photos of the beauty around you, then we'd be happy if you join us!

Wishing you all a beautiful and peaceful day.

  1. Such beautiful pictures, dear Wendy. I live in the mountains where there is usually a lot of snow {which I love}, but this year we have had very warm temperatures and the snow is melting. Right now when I look outside it appears to be Spring and even smells like Spring :)

    Have a wonderful weekend...and I love your reading glasses *wink wink* :) Hugs!

  12. Oh heerlijk zoals je de lente bij ons binnen brengt Wen! Wanneer ik sneeuwklokjes zie, moet ik altijd aan mijn moeder denken... Toen ze in verwachting was van mij, voelde ze mij voor het eerst bewegen toen ze de sneeuwklokjes zag... Wat een snoezig klimop-kopje heb je daar trouwens! Ja, laat de lente maar komen! Liefs, Ira xox
