The beautiful snow came - and I took my little red star for a walk!
The snow-plough pushed the snow to the side of the paths
It was firm and crunchy underfoot.
A few brave leaves still clung onto to the otherwise bare branches
and we got a blue sky that day.
Hurray!
I go for walks every day and was happy to see these baubles and garlands
still decorated a tree in someone's garden.
I finished my Temperature Blanket.
Each two-row square represents the coldest and the warmest temperature of each day.
There are 361 squares and five rows of the border
which make up the 366 days of 2020.
A Leap Year!
A few extra shots to show different aspects.
On the left we can see the colder days of the year,
they corresponded to December 2020.
The way this one is folded, we can see the warmer days.
Here we can see the winter, spring and summer.
I've never crocheted anything over a whole year before.
Sometimes, I didn't feel like doing it, especially during the summer,
but I'm glad I saw it through until the end.
It tells a colour story!
What I love about the month of January is that spring flowers can be found in the florist's shops.
Tulips are a great favourite and these deep pink ones with green stripes
were really beautiful.
Down to the park Mon Repos
to enjoy the tall trees and nature.
The fountain had icicles around it.
They were shining in the sunlight.
Some of them had broken off.
The red berries on the holly are always a welcome sight
Tall trees in the park against a sky of blue.
My little box of Hyacinths will soon be coming into flower
I've taken down the Christmas decorations to create a feeling of spring in my home.
A fresh dark pink cloth and a crocheted Mandala which I made sometime ago.
Tender pink tulips to complete a new look
and my Kindle e-reader which I've decided to use much more
as I already have far too many books and all my bookshelves are overloaded.
Let's keep our spirits up in going for regular walks, good reading
and uplifting films and documentaries.
Flowers in the home bring in some colour and beauty too.
