news

I've got great news to share!

The job placements were announced late last night and I got what I wanted;

I'll be here, staying at home and working in my area!

I don't know which school yet, but that's fine. As long as I don't have to leave.

Thank you all for your supportive comments and keeping me in your thoughts.

It means a lot to me!

More soon.

Take Care!

an award

A couple of weeks ago, Fiona, who shares her life in Ireland over at Raindrops and Daisies,

honoured me with this award:



If you've been reading this blog for a while, you'll know that I have mixed feelings about awards:

though I love the fun of it all and I'm genuinely excited when another blogger chooses to pass it on me, I can't bring myself to choosing other people to pass it on, no matter what the criteria are.

So what I usually do is thank the fellow blogger for the honour and leave it there.

Today, though, I feel like adding a little something.

Something that made me really happy! 

You see, Fiona is a really sweet woman; she always has something nice to say and here's what she wrote about my blog:

 

Yiota has such a beautiful blog and her photographs are wonderful, I honestly think they are some of the most lovely pictures that I have seen on blogland. She lives in Greece and her blog is fab!

Thank you, Fiona!

I'm going through a lot of stress these days, and gestures like this are much appreciated!

saturday evening at the orchard

"Under the apple tree?"

I nodded and he got out the picnic blanket from the trunk of the car. We lay back, gazing at the feathered clouds sailing slowly above our heads. Bees were buzzing over the clover, crickets were chirping, and we could hear the children playing...

 i spent some time looking for ideas on etsy

(in case we do get to stay home)

I think you can gather the theme from my mosaic!

I've already bought the fabrics for a bedspread, and a trip to the city centre for some yarn  for a blanket is planned for tomorrow.

Now, if only we could stay here!!!
