At work we keep finding conkers the local park squirrels have buried in the kitchen garden. Some have started to germinate. So seeing the same squirrels keep digging up our snowdrop and bluebell bulbs we see this as payment and have gently planted up the Horse Chestnut seeds and hope they all grow.

Yes I am waffling - sort of procrastinating too - I am part of a weekly art challenge to get us all back into 'arting' and once I have started - I am fine, it is the STARTING I am dancing around. That and the theme this week - PIRATES. Hmmm. I don't want to draw something gimmicky or box office inspired (think Pirates of the Caribbean) so this needs a bit of thinking. Last week's was BIRDS and I was in my element!

Still snowing..... Oo arrr me hearties - I better get swashbuckling!
Post Script: Blogger is still playing up - I am unable to comment on several blogs - so excuse me if I seen to be silent, I am not. I have, however, found a couple of ways to get around signing on and not be anonymous hopefully things will get back to normal soon - here is to spring xx

A little snow would be a welcome change from all the rain we are having...loving the birdies...and a no work day! x
ReplyDeleteI am at a cross roads with rain vs snow. I can drive in the rain, I don't like driving in snow, we are lucky where we are we (unless the floods are biblical) unlikely to be flooded, but we will get stuck by snow.... I hope it is all gone by tomorrow though, because the nature of my job - I need a bit of sunshine and a lot of dry to get my work done!
DeleteThe dentist for me today and just rain for us here … and for good measure our back roof has decided to spring a leak. Another job to add to the ever increasing list. You look like you’re saving a lovely warm and cosy day. 🙈 Carol x
ReplyDeleteDefinitely being more 'cat' than anything else today - keeping warm, curling up and ignoring everything except the occasional hopeful visit to the kitchen ! (Well that is what our cat does!)
Deletedesign a treasure chest
ReplyDeleteI'm doing a tattoo!
DeleteSleety snow here and more to come they say
ReplyDeleteWe had enough snow in the afternoon/evening to make it a bit of a concern for work the next day - but fortunately overnight it was washed away by rain leaving a really damp and chilly day. Enough now!
DeleteDespite all the doom-laden weather warnings we've thankfully escaped the snow. Mind you, it's rained incessantly for 48 hours and the roof's sprung a leak..ah well, these things are sent to try us!
ReplyDeleteLove that racy glimpse of red petticoat. Your bird paintings are absolutely gorgeous. xxx
I love my petticoats (aka magpie skirts) and wear them layered for warmth. I have longer than my pinafores so they show off their glorious 'warmthness' is that is word?
DeleteHope leaking roof not too big an issue x
You paint a picture of idyllic cosiness. I'm ready for the warmth of spring. Xx
ReplyDeleteI am ready for that warmth - this winter has been really damp and driech - enough now!
DeleteBeautiful paintings. Your day sounds cosy and warm.
ReplyDeleteThank you Eileen 😊
DeleteCan't believe I missed this post even though I too was hunkered down at home last Thursday; we were lucky not to get loads of snow; what we had was enough! I envy your painting skills. TMML here!
ReplyDeleteIt's so lovely to see you return to your art Kate. Arilx
ReplyDeleteBeautiful bird pictures, your so talented. :)
