Just this week there are lots of wonderful signs that spring is here!
There are spring bulbs flowering, the magnolias, camellias and daphne are out and there is a sprinkling of calves and lambs about.
It's a beautiful day here - a day to be glad that you're alive.
I've been very involved in "busy work" lately - the days have been jam-packed and every minute seems to be accounted for a week in advance, so I did a terrible thing!
I took the day off!!!
Today I've planted the Christmas lilies, done a little cleaning, played with my camera, read my book in the sunshine...and not much else.
I was supposed to be somewhere else today, but I decided that I needed a quiet day at home - and it has been bliss!
I think that days off like mine should be compulsory on a monthly basis, and I may launch a petition...
I hope that you've enjoyed your day as much as I've enjoyed mine.

Oh babies - do you think there is enough room in the bed? Good to take a day off now and again to recharge the batteries. It can become a 24/7 operation sometimes.
wonderful to read you have treated yourself to this day. while on vacation, in a thrift shop, i found a T-shirt with a sheep on it that said "New Zealand." Of course I bought it. thinking of you and your family. Am returned home however all is chaos here and upheaval. so not sure when i will post to my blog. Namaste. Suki PS wore the bracelet every day on vacation. I think it works ok, doesnt need ajustment, but thanks for offering.
Haha! Australians like to make fun of New Zealanders and sheep - so don't tell any of your Aussie friends, OK?
I totally agree with you about a mandatory day off! Sometimes we just need that time to rejuvenate and set things to right again. I have just come from a wonderful holiday where I found a day or two to do just that kind of thing. Sometimes, though, it is a challenge to get back into the work mode for me. Not the creative part, but the dreaded phone calling and red tape dealing! That really gets to me after a while. Does that mean I live too much in my head? :-) I am so glad you took the time for yourself. It is so worth it! You are so worth it!
