Snail-trail
This morning I noticed this beautiful trail of a snail...
I love the word how it rhymes: 'Snail-trail'. When you look closer, the trail is even full of shiny shimmering colors, What Creator has fancied that, when He made the snails!

Blue-tit making arrangements
This morning, I saw Blue-tit making arrangements in the nestbox.
He took some things out...I guess its poo...from other birds who have been sleeping in the nestbox. He really was inspecting everything very carefully. All day he flew to and fro, in and out.

Robin nestbox
This morning I placed a nestbox for robin.
I had noticed a robin sitting on the fence. He was a kind of searching and looking... probably for food. Maybe he was also having inspection for a nesting place.
Anyway, I thought it might be lovely for me to have a good sight on it when he decides to pick this box for a new family of robins! I have a great view on it from one of my windows.

Stamps
Last year I have made my own stamps.
In the Netherlands you can have them made by the post-office and you can use them (instead of the ones they have) on your snail-mail.
I love stamps and I still don't like that we lost our snail-mail-stamps. Some stamps are so beautiful like small real art pieces.

Ladybirds coming out
Last week I have seen a lot of Ladybirds (Lieveheersbeestjes) coming out of their wintersleep.
Spring has awakened them for a new season!

Leap over
Today we are having an extra day to adjust our calendar.
It feels a bit weird this day for me. I actually did not know what to do with this extra day. Normally I do kind of know ...always lots of things on the list I want, like or need doing.
It wasn't a day like that. Time was messing up with me in my mind at least.

doodle cat
I'm in the mood of doodling again.
Didn't do for a long time. I love sleeping cats...
Thinking about having a cat again, they are such good company and always so cute.

The breaking out
I had planted some bulbs of the Scilla in a pot and put it inside. I can't wait to see them break open.
They are kind of awakening this week, because of the warmth inside. Outside it's still too cold for them to dare to break out yet.
They can have different colors, like blue, white or pink.
These are the blue ones...this kind of blue I like so much.
It has a purple-ish hue to it, like ultramarine-blue which is to me a color I love very very much.

Breaking out
It amazes me, that the small, fragile crocus have the strength and power to break out, even when growing under and between stones.
I did not plant them there...This crocus specie makes seeds after blossoming. The seeds must have sown themselves between the stones. And now they come out on the weirdest places.
It every year reminds me of the power of nature,

Drops on snowdrops
This morning when the sun broke through...the sundays reflected all the dew drops like diamonds.
It was a mesmerising sight..lots of diamonds glistening in the early light on the snowdrops.
