That was really bad luck catching that nasty virus which put you out of action for three whole weeks. I'm so pleased that you have recovered and that your life is back to normal again. This is such an unusual way to start a New Year as we have done in 2020. Better days are to come, we just need to be patient!Sandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17015603838340372502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4865166082152058468.post-42277738260931845062020-04-11T19:12:59.629+02:002020-04-11T19:12:59.629+02:00Oh Sandra, March 1st was my birthday and we celebr...Oh Sandra, March 1st was my birthday and we celebrated with family back in NY then when we returned, I got sick with the virus and stayed in bed for 3 weeks.

I won't be able to get out and photograph spring blooms this year because of the shutdown here in Switzerland due to the Coronavirus. I am in self-enforced confinement, as directed by the Swiss government. I order food, and other needs, online. These are difficult times for everybody.Sandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17015603838340372502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4865166082152058468.post-77652533443434493842020-03-21T16:32:14.217+01:002020-03-21T16:32:14.217+01:00I can't resist a posting of flowers!

Since I'm Sandy, it seemed the thing to do. Always fun meeting new blog friends. Oh your flower pictures are so pretty, they make me smile. It's such a wet dreary gray day here so to see the color is nice. LOVE your temperature afghan. To date, I've only seen them be stripped.

We've had everything from gorgeous sunny days, wind, rain and snow! It may even snow tomorrow again!<br />Well, I'm showing the flowers here as I make them. I was told that they're also on Pinterest! The flowers can be used for anything really - as embellishments or part of a wreath or wall hanging.
