Slowly, our days are growing warmer even though we still get
the occasional chilly night. We lit the
fire last night, but only to take the chill off the air and not because we were
cold.
Son was recently given this butterfly ornament as a gift and
he has now found a place for it to call home.
We will see it each time we come up the driveway, and it will make a lovely Welcome Home for us.
I’ve always enjoyed ‘hiding’ little ornaments amongst my
garden flowers – and the grandchildren loved finding them! I don’t have many left now, but I do still like having some in amongst my container garden.
Being outdoors all the time, they lose their paint/colour
and can end up looking rather dingy and lack-lustre.
Such was the case with this little frog. He originally belonged to my mother, and he
just looks so cute with his grin and straw hat and the little dragonfly
necklace (perhaps it is a ‘her’?).
A family member suggested he could give him/her a freshen up
with some acrylic paint and I agreed. I love the result so much that the froggy now has a place on my bookcase instead of in
the garden.
Nothing like a cheerful frog to bring a smile to your face 😊
