Alice, a poet and spring

Hi Everybody!

Happy Weekend!

We had a sunny Friday here, wonderful after so many cold and dreary days,

and it was great to get out walking and I even had to take off my coat - perhaps spring is really coming this time!?

For Art Journal Journey, for the record, I have chosen a song from Smokie, taking me back to much younger days,  and it has a naughty word in it...the images I have used for my collage are all from Gecko Galz

And in case you don't know Smokie.....

And for face number 98 in 99 faces  and for Elizabeth's 2nd on the 2nd I have another Modigliani knock-off. I painted it last year, and this time I cut out the head, changed the colours a bit and placed it onto a new, rusty background:

Yesterday I had my first session of special knee gymnastics/treatment from a therapist. This is the next stage in my treatment, so for the next couple of months I will be going twice  a week. I learnt some new exercises to stretch the muscles and get them back to normal, and after we were finished I went for a coffee before getting the shopping and taking a walk along the Rhine - I managed over 9000 steps altogether, so I was really proud of myself.

I watched the sun rising and pushing away the mist this morning:

I have made a little spring garden in my living room:

And the trees outside were at last all bursting into bloom - wonderful!

Have a great day you all, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!
