Weekend Post

Hi Everybody!

Here's wishing us all a great weekend! Take care and have fun. I will be spending Saturday and Sunday at home, so I'm looking forward to that after a stressful week. There's nothing like sleeping in your own bed!
Today I have 2 pieces to share. First of all a hybrid tag for Tag Tuesday where Michele is hosting with the theme of fairies:



And for Erika's seeing red challenge at AJJ I have a digital piece:



Sorry, I couldn't resist using Santa!

Looking for signs of spring:
















Some thinkies / funnies:






Have a great weekend, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!

    The garden fairy is cute. My fairy tag is getting posted tomorrow. And I think I need to move to Germany because you have green and spring flowers already. Smile. We've had bitter cold today and more tonight. Frown. And I like Santa. I'm glad someone actually used him in some art because he is the man in red, isn't he? Enjoy your weekend at home, and don't let me forget to say thank you for joining my challenge at AJJ again. hugs-Erika

      Yes, it's good to be back home for the weekend, and tonight I can sleep for as long as I want to, and in my own bed! Have a great weekend, hugs!

    I am glad to hear that you are going home, Valerie, if only for a weekend. Maybe you can filch some food from the clinic kitchen to tide you over without having to shop and cook! Hopefully you are well enough to get out and enjoy those early portents of spring. It will be a while yet before we experience them but the cardinals are singing from the treetops and that's a positive sign. We bought a coffee maker four months ago and just before we went to Cuba it died, so yesterday I took it back to the store and they gave me a new one. I thought of you, of course, knowing how essential a coffee maker is to both of us! It is already early afternoon in Germany so I hope you are cozy and warm and enjoying coffee, with your feet up. Hugs and kisses - David

      Hi David, good to 'see' you again. It's nice to be home, and I'm looking forward to sleeping in my own bed! My balcony was well visited by the 'maisen' - chikadees who enjoyed their food. I have been painting this afternoon, and this evening I made chicken wings, yummy! Toorrow I am going for a meal with 2 friends, so I didn't need to filch anything! And as you so wisely remarked, we need coffee, and I have plenty of that here! And cookies and chocolate and bananas....Have a great weekend, BIG hugs!xxx

    I like that fairy tag a lot. Very pretty. I enjoyed the first meme about "men always being right." Yeah, right, tell me about it. LOL.

    No, there's nothing quite like your own bed. Unless you need a new mattress LOL. I do like your tag very much. I can't even single out one element I like above the rest because I just love them all. I also like your first two pictures. This so gorgeously atmospheric. There's not much left of the weekend now as it's Sunday. But I hope you have a good day today. Deb in Wales.

      Hi Deb, thanks. My mattress is good! Yes, it's Sunday already. time flies. This afternoon I am meeting up with 2 friends and we are going for a meal, and after that it will be time to go back to the clinic. Have a great day, take care, and stay as well as possible! Hugs!

    Nothing like sleeping in your own bed and having your surroundings near when you wake.

    The fairy tag is adorable. She is so sweet looking.

    Great minds DO think alike. I love your Santa and his black and white frame. I especially like the shadow you created behind the words. Thanks for sharing this with us at AJJ using Erika's theme.

    Having trouble getting this to publish.

      My bed is much nicer than the one here. This is a good bed, no mistake, but narrow and not so kuschelig!

    Meeting up with friends and sharing a lovely meal is about as good as it gets, a great reason for being home for the weekend. Hopefully this is a portent of many such rendez-vous as we get into the tranquil breezes of spring, with bird song and flowers aplenty. I hope that the doctors will get you tuned up and raring to go. As for me, today is my eightieth birthday, Valerie. I will be giving a presentation on owls. Next weekend I will be leading a group of birders on a weekend in Algonquin Provincial Park. I can still walk ten or more kilometres a day without even breathing hard. I have been lucky. Hugs and kisses - David

    What good news to get a weekend at home! I'm absolutely thrilled you get a little getaway! Hopefully, it's the first of many -- or maybe you'll even be home soon. I hope so! Happy weekend -- I hope it was wonderful.

    Great funnies and beautiful photos Valerie.
    The tag is gorgeous, such a pretty fairy and I love how she is holding her dress, just like a little one does. The sun is beautiful and I will try to recreate that one day in a piece in my journal.
    What a brilliant idea to do a red Father Christmas page for Erika's challenge, very fitting and such fun.
    Take care
    Hugs, Neet xx
