Hi Everbody!
Yesterday I was able to come home from the clinic, and it's good to be back. I'm sure my luggage increased by several 100% while I was there, but my friend Yvonne collected me and drove me home, and carried most of my stuff up the stairs for me. I'm trying to take things easy, but I did manage to get the laundry done, so that was something. Tomorrow I need to get some shopping for the weekend, and perhaps do a little bit of housework.
Today I am linking my A3 acrylic painting to Alison's challenge at AJJ. My inspiration was the song ' Lily the Pink' from the Scaffold, a cheerful and lighthearted song which tells about Lily the Pink who saved the human race. We really need someone to save the human race just now:
And a few photos from yesterday's walk :
Over the weekend I will catch up with your blogs, and my next post will be on Monday. I need to take things slowly!
Have a great day, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!

Thanks so much Carol, have a great weekend!
DeleteHurrah hurrah for being home. That is very exciting and you must be beyond thrilled Valerie. Lily the pink is a fantastic piece. I just love the gold dots on her, and I hope she can save us from so many things in this world. And wow, you really have spring. And lilacs. I love lilacs and ours are still aways off. Enjoy you weekend and enjoy being home. Take care, don't over do it and relax with a big smile on your face. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteThanks Erika. I hope the lilacs bloom for you soon! Have a great weekend, hugs!
DeleteSo good to hear you are back home! Your pink lady is beautiful. So nice to see spring in your photos. Look after yourself.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sue, spring is always so beautiful! Hugs!
DeleteI am just elated that you are home. Oh, that's the best news I've had all day. It must feel wonderful to be in your own space with your own things, your own bed, your own window on the sunrise. The walk photos are beautiful -- it will be a long time before we see lilacs though little buds are starting to form. So, you take it easy, chill out and celebrate home. That's just the best!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jeanie! I need to really take me time, but it's good to be here again! Have a great weekend!
DeleteI bet those flowers smell so sweet. The dots remind me of Yayoi Kusama work
ReplyDeleteGlad you home.
Coffee is on and stay safe
Thanks Dora, have a great weekend!
DeleteThe sweet pink lady has beautiful green eyes. Beautiful flowers and greenery from your walk. Have a wonderful weekend.
ReplyDeleteThanks Nancy, have a great day!
DeleteI love Lily The Pink, she's beautiful Valerie, and a great song that takes me back to my childhood 😊
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos from your walk too.
Take care and enjoy your first weekend home.
Alison
Glad you remember the song, too! It's good to be home!
DeleteLoving Lily!
ReplyDeleteSo pleased that you are home now! Don't go rushing into things - plenty of time for housework!!! Hugs, Chrisxx
hanks Chris! I'm taking my time! Hugs!
DeleteGood morning, Valerie: Welcome home! I expect the neighbours held a suitable ceremony to celebrate your return, and showered you with gifts of home-baked pies and assorted treats. Thanks for this pink paragon of pulchritude too. You sure know how to make a woman look interesting! Did I see right? Did you mention housew**k? Dispel this silly notion from your head. Maybe flick a duster here and there, but that's about it! This is a time for rest, restraint and recuperation. You have been through a lot, have been exiled to the clinic for far too long, and it's time to recharge. After all summer is coming - walks in the park, ice cream, coffee taken en plein air, dogs wagging their tails for you, men sending sly glances your way. All this you have to look forward to. Hugs and kisses, David
ReplyDeleteHa ha! I think they didn' even notice I was gone! And pies? Dream on! Yes, housew*rk. Everyhing is dusty and I need to put everyhing I unpacked again away, but where?! But I did have a nice walk this morning, and will go out again this evening. If men send sly glances my way these days it's only because they feel sorry for me! I'm aking time off over he weekend, I want to make he best of the good weather. Hope you snow is gone now! BIG hugs!
DeleteSo glad that you are home. That must be such a nice feeling. Skip the housework and have fun in your crafty space. If anyone can save the planet, the Pink Goddess can. She looks quite capable. Beautiful flowers on your work especially the lilacs. Enjoy the weekend.
ReplyDeleteMy crafty place is looking as if a tornado hit it, wherever I look I see chaos. I need hat pink goddess here with me! Have a great weekend!
DeleteMust be such a relief to be back home. Hope you continute to do well. Love your painting, great colours. Have a lovely weekend. Hugs Anesha
ReplyDeleteThanks Anesha! Have a great day, hugs, alerie
DeleteI'm so glad you are home again! I hope you will have a relaxing weekend. I love your painting-I always do!
ReplyDeleteThanks Debra, have a great weekend!
DeleteI just love that Lady in pink! Just gorgeous! Happy homecoming, Valerie!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much. I'm happy to be home, but it feels rather strange after being at the clinic for so long!
DeleteHave a weekend as beautiful as those flowers.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Thanks Sweetie!
DeleteI'm so glad you are back home - it must feel wonderful. Yes, take things slowly and make yourself your priority. Take really good care of yourself, Valerie - I'm sure that making art is one aspect of that. All the very best to you.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Carola. It is great to be Home, but it all feels strange after being away for so long! Have a great Weekend!
DeletePleased you're back home but! laundry, shopping and housework doesn't sound like taking it easy your health is far more important and you mustn't do to much. Loving your Lily the Pink, we certainly do need someone to sort out the problems in the world at the moment. Stay safe and get plenty of rest. Hugs, Angela xXx
ReplyDeleteThanks for the reminder, I do tend to try to do too much! Enjoy your weekend! Hugs, Valerie
DeleteWelcome home Valerie so happy for you, take it easy and get plenty of rest too,,just love your Lily the pink painting and now that song is in my head and coming out loud as I heard myself singing while making my coffee...
