T sTands for Tuesday on Monday

Hi Everybody!

Hope you all had a pleasant weekend. After a stressful week, including a trip to the hospital in an ambulance with flashing blue lights - see my weekend post - I had a quiet weekend and hope that things remain so this week. Today we will be celebrating Elizabeth's T sTands for Tuesday link party, so here a warm welcome to all of the lovely ladies who join us. I didnt get round to visiting everybody, sorry, it was just all too much. Today I have an Easter piece I made a few weeks ago, which is also my ticket for the T party, as my bunny is sitting in a pretty cup. My cups are usually filled with coffee but at the moment I'm learning to drink Fennel tea!  I am also linking to my spring challenge at AJJ:

 




Some photos from the garden:
















The flowers on the dining table:



Some funnies:

The text says 'oil and flour were sold out so I had to take what was available!'




Have a great start in the week, take care.
and thanks a lot for coming by!

  1. What a sweet bunny in the tea cup. With all those pretty flowers in bloom I can see why your are inspired by spring and by Easter too. Winter has returned here. No snow but it is sooooo cold right now. Tomorrow is going to be quite cold too so I think there will be some art for me. No complains about the art but the cold is a bit too cold. I hope you also have a quieter week, and a happy early T day too. Hugs-Erika

  2. I do like your Easter art.
    I spent time with the grandchildren over the weekend and they were saying it will soon be time to get the Easter chicks and bunnies out of the cupboard, they are quite a few years old and have been part of the Easter décor for sometime :)

    Your photographs were lovely, Spring is here.

    Sending lots of get well wishes, hope the week ahead will be a restful and recuperative one for you.

    All the best Jan

  3. Hi Valerie, so sorry I missed your post going to the hospital will check that out.
    I love your Easter painting-so sweet. Your area has allot of blooms-no trees are blooming here as of yet, I do have daffodils though-I planted a bag of them last fall-very pretty.
    great funnies. Happy T and healing prayers coming your way
    Hugs Kathy

  7. What a cute bunny in the cup! Great funnies. The community bus at the aged care place my Mum was at had people surfing and windsurfing and riding bikes on their bus topped by the seniors heads, always gave me a smile!

    O jee jetzt habe ich es nach gelesen was passiert ist, da hast du viel aufregung gehabt. Gut dass sie wissen was es ist und jetzt dir geholfen wird. Das eingesperrt sein für dich kann ich gut nachvollziehen.

  10. I LOVE the lamb! It is soooo cute!!!
    Great page, Valerie. The bunny in the cup is perfect.
    Never tried fennel tea, my friend, but definitely I will try it.
    Kisses!!!

  11. Hello Valerie: The bunny in the cup looks quite at home. Actually when the very young rabbits first appear here they are so tiny they would probably fit into an average coffee mug. Think I'll just pour coffee into mine. I have cooked with fennel, but fennel tea sounds quite horrid! I think I will pass on that. I can see what you have been shopping for in the supermarket. Better build up your energy level is all I can say! I have been told on reliable authority (a Balconia bird reported it to a robin here, who passed it along to a crow, who advised me) that you have been seen there repeatedly, looking for bargains, and even willing to pay full price if the right merchandise is available. I hope that the weekend was tranquil, that your heart behaved, and the fellow patients in the clinic were kind and helpful. There is no need to inquire if the food was good as that seems to be a constant, with copious supplies always on hand. Last night we had a vegetarian pasta dish we enjoy, with artichokes, fire-roasted tomatoes, lots of olives and feta cheese. We actually had it two nights in a row, having made a large batch. This afternoon I will be doing a live presentation. Imagine that standing in front of real people again! This will be only the second time since COVID dominated world affairs and social conduct. Stay well, stay calm, stay beautiful, drink fennel tea (argh!). Hugs and kisses, David

    1. Yes, I prefer coffee in my cup, too, but the bunny does look cute! Fennel tea is not bad, but coffee is definitely better! Tat Balconia bad was surely making the story up! I discovered a new species at the weekend, you will be abe to see it soon. Watch this space! Enjoy your live presentation, I'm sure you will be really good. Have a great day, take care, hugs!

  12. Awwww, sweet bunny. I'd be happy to find another cup for my coffee if it meant having a bunny in one :)

    Happy T Day!

  17. There is medication you can take for atrial fibrillation. My friend had it, took meds, and lived to 85, which is not bad. Take care and God bless.

  26. Oh, my goodness! The guy on the toilet in the van is too funny! You take it easy! I went back and read your weekend post. I hope it gets better. Our 18 year old is going through something like this right now. She is away at college and was taken to immediate care, and they set her up for blood tests and ekg, and over Spring break she was on a heart monitor. We are waiting right now for results. So scary. Sending hugs.. Happy T Day.

    It looks like spring has definitely arrived in your world, dear. Still love the magnolia blossoms and that lamb, too. Hope you have a super T Tuesday, dear.

  31. Oh gosh, I had no idea! I only read your weekend post now. I'm so sorry to hear this. It must have been really scary. And now having to give up your beloved cappuccinos.... I must say that I drink fennel tea (I enjoy the mildly anisseedy taste) and it's not bad really (nothing compares with coffee though).
    Your Easter bunny is real cute, but even cuter is what somebody found left on the supermarket shelf!
    The photos of the flowers always perk me up. I am so ready for spring. It has rained non-stop for a month here! Dark and grey days indeed.
    I hope your condition gets better soon,
    Happy T-Day,

  34. Gosh Valerie, you had quite the excitement, and not reallyin a good way. I'm glad that the last days have been much quieter - who needs a ride in an ambulance??? It must feel very limiting not to be able to move around like usual. I hope this changes for the better again. The garden is beautiful, that is at least something. Beautiful Easter art, the bunny is very cute.

  36. Your spring painting is lovely! Sorry to hear that you were in the hospital. I will go back and have a look at the post. Feel better soon!
    The spring flowers are looking gorgeous. I think my favorite is the magnolias. We had one in our yard growing up and I always loved when they bloomed.
    Love the funny of the van!
    Happy Tea Day,

  38. Such a delightful painting today Valerie. I do like your little bunny sitting there looking so content. He must be a baby to fit in there.
    Well, it is good to know that you are feeling better and that maybe some new medication is helping. Hope they get to the bottom of things now and you return to full health.
    Hugs, Heet xx
