Hi Everybody!
Happy Weekend!
Today I am sharing a double page in my 'new' journal, where I was busy having fun with blue metallic paint, floral napkins and a fancy script sentiment, which of course reminds me of my younger days in London, hippies and flower power.
I am linking to Moo Mania and More, quotes.
I was up very early this morning, when it was still dark, and therefore able to watch the pre-dawn sky and then the wonderful sunrise. It doesn't matter how often I watch it, it is always a miracle:
I pass this lovely house nearly every day on my way to the Rhine, and always look forward to seeing the wisteria bloom. And every week, whatever the weather, they put a large vase of flowers in the porch:
This stream is near the house I live in, and I can see it from my balcony:
Several people have been asking about my knee after the Operation. I still go to physiotherapy twice a week, and get lots of exercises to do as my daily
homework, to strengthen my muscles and improve the movement of the joint.
It still hurts from time to time, but this is apparently normal in the first six months, and it is only 10 weeks since the Op. I can walk really well, without help, and have started riding my bike again - things are looking up on the knee front!
Have a great day you all, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!
Love your flower power piece, so happy! Wonderful photos, too, love the sunrise and the wisteria is gorgeous. Hugs, Sarah
ReplyDeletelovely pages today Valerie! Gorgeous photos and glad to hear how well your knee is doing!
ReplyDeleteValerie, these pages are incredibly beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteLove the colours in this journalpage, and the movement in it. And those pictures are amazing!
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear your are back on your feet without help and the knee is improving. Sounds like you are making major improvements. I also love the journal page today. How pretty! And those wisteria. What gorgeous flowers. I am still waiting for us to green up. We are getting green, but our cold and rain this past week seemed to stall us for a bit. But I think it will be soon;we just need a little sunshine. Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteIncredible painting Val. Spring has arrived in your hands with this work of art. The sun rise is glorious. The wisteria is beautiful. It brings back the memories of the 100 year old plant outside my mother's kitchen.
ReplyDeleteBig Hugs and Blessings

ReplyDeleteHow lovely to be able to see the wonderful sunrise and worth getti g up early I reckon.
I have always wanted to grow a wisteria as they look so beautiful when in flower--maybe now is the time for me to find one to n uture.

I love your Flower Power Valerie, such a happy piece, and your town is looking beautiful. At last Winter has gone! Glad your knee is improving, but then again you do do your homework lol xx
ReplyDeleteLove your fantastic bright Flower Power page and the beautiful coloured poppies. Awesome photos today. Glad to read your knee is getting you back to your normal walking and good for you to be riding the bike again this early.

Well you definitely got my attention with that one :) LOVE IT!!!! Flower Power is not a phrase I hear very often any more. Brings back special times and memories. Love all of the photos. That Wisteria is stunning. I love Wisteria and have it in a few places :) Would have it in more but the Hubs isn't fond of it.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous spread Valerie -- you run circles around me - walking, ridding your bike - good for you. I have never had the best balance and am afraid of ridding my bike now. That is all I need to do is fall and break something else. I fall when I am walking!!! There is never enough time in the day to do all that I want to do - oh well.
ReplyDeleteYou are a very wise lady!

Oh, I meant to tell you, I would never get tired of seeing the sun rise. The view you have is really gorgeous and always changing!
ReplyDeleteSandy xx
Was für eine herrliche Wiese voller Mohnblumen hast du da auf das Papier gezaubert! Eine fantastische Doppelseite, liebe Valerie! Auch deine Fotos sind wieder traumhaft schön. Bei dir ist die Natur schon etwas wieter als bei uns!
ReplyDeleteLiebe Grüße, Annette

So pleased to read that your knee is getting better! I love your flower power page! Great photos of the sunrise - and the wisteria! Hugs, Chrisx
