Photo of the Day: A Deep Breath of Spring

Trying to ignore the possibility of snow in this week's weather forecast and focus on the warmth I am remembering from the last couple of weeks…

Signs of Spring...

Or an early, temporary summer. Sometimes it's hard to tell in Scotland, as it doesn't get really hot here in the summer at all. Last year the hottest it got to was 21 Celsius. It also doesn't hit peak heat until 4pm either, which is a little disappointing somedays, as it's still fairly chilly when I'm out in the mornings, but right now, it's making for lovely evening walks and tonight I'm hoping to go for a run, provided my headache goes away and Kio naps so I can lie down and am not so tired.

In any case, we went out this weekend and enjoyed the sun. Everything is is bloom. Actually, last night at the park, the cherry blossoms was 'snowing'. I of course didn't have my camera (not even my phone!) and I'm still pouting at missing out on the image of a young woman sitting cross legged on a bench under a pink Japanese cherry, nibbling on a sandwich while petal floating to the ground around her.

But here are some images I got on Sunday on my iPhone. The last was from this morning. In hopes we can make it to the coast, I bought K some sunglasses and a pail and shovel for the beach.

A Little of This, a Little of That

So lo and behold, I go away for the weekend and come back to find out I missed the start of ICLW! Crap! Oh well, guess I have some commenting to make up, but not tonight. I feel like crap and am really tired.

Hopefully by morning I'll be feeling better. After some confusion witht the prescription I finally have my proper supply of Dic.lectin. It is amazing! I had a two day supply to tide me over until they could fill the full prescription but I didn't have it for most of the weekend. Boy could I tell the difference. Had only my afternoon dose so far, so it hasn't fully done the trick. But I know by morning it'll be all great.

I can't believe how good food tastes when you don't feelingl ike throwing it up all the time. Sorry, graphic I know, but last week was not fun. Hence my non-posting.

Had a great weekend with my parents. It was really nice to spend time with both of them and just take it easy. They are pretty excited about this baby and just being around that helps me feel more confident in being excited.

It's definitely spring now. Today was lovely. I came home to find that I finally have some bulbs blooming. One crocus and some pansies that survived being crushed under a snow several times.

My flowers are thriving despite some difficult odds. Sound familiar?
