A new beginning in blogland

Ok, I am back and hopefully this time I will stay without disappearing again for weeks and months on end. A big thank you to all who visit my blog even though I do not post regularly and a bigger thank you for those of you who come back often.

Many things have happened in the past few months, but I will not bore you with the details. Like the popular e-mail/image of lemons - "when life hands you lemons, turn it into lemonade" my life was for a while also not sweet and easy-going, but every day I manage to make another batch of lemonade and maybe soon it will be the best on the block? In a way I am not a fan of soft drinks, so I would much rather turn these lemons into lemon curd, just love the stuff, lol! Read more...

On the 19th of this month, it will be 2 years since my father passed away from prostrate cancer and many times, especially over the past few months, I have missed his advice and logical approach to life so much. He has taught me that life is not easy but you take each day in your stride and you never ever give up on life and people.

Thanks to his teachings as well as the support of my family and also my dear friend KH, I can face life again and find pleasure in small things, too. My granddaughter Mia has also in her way managed to take my mind off many problems. Read my newest post of her imaginary friends on her blog.

Since June is also the month in which we celebrate Father's Day (did I not use the same words last year??) I came up with a few ideas and in my next post I will show you how to recycle soap into useful gifts.

With our warm, sunny winter's days, the butterflies are having quite a lovely time on the flowers. A link to some of my photos are in the sidebar. A good reminder of nature never giving up!
