Midweek post

Hi Everybody!

Today has been a very stormy day so I've been tring to dodge the rain , thunder and lightning, and mostly succeeded. Now the rain is hurtling down, so I'm glad I got back home on time after visiting Heike .

Today I have another piece for Erika's and my challenge at AJJ, this one with a bird. The words printed round it are part of a song we used to sing when we first started school, way back when at the beginning of the 1950s:

'Little bird, I have heard,
What a pretty song you sing:
Flying high, in the sky.
On your tiny wings':




Andx I have another cat tag for Michele's challenge at Tag Tuesday:



And this is the weather outside as I'm typing:



Not my photo, but so fantastic, wow:


Beautiful:


???



Peekaboo! 


Have a great day, take care,
And thanks a lot for coming by!

  3. Yikes! Looks like quite the storm coming. I hope all was OK. I love both these pieces today, Valerie. The color and simplicity of the dove, the debonaire look of the cat tag! Happy rest of the week!

  4. Hi Val, love both pieces today. I remember that song from school đŸ« too, it's a shame that so many songs are out of fashion these days. Hugs, Sarah

    1. Thanks Sarah! I think children need time to be children, and not mini adults, they lose so much!

  10. Both your tag and your journal page are great Valerie. I bet that page was fun to make. And wow, those storm photos are amazing. We've had storms this afternoon here also, but I didn't see anything quite so dramatic. I hope you're having a great week. hugs-Erika

  18. Stunning photos of the sky outside as you typed todays' entry for AJJ up. Gosh, that was some storm and you have captured the powerfulness of it.
    Love your little bird and the way you have written the poem around the rectangle. At first glance you could almost think it was the flag of some country. I did for a split second or so.
    Gorgeous thinkies, the bird drinking is fantastic photography and I love the little oewl.
    Take care, hope your friend Heike is feeling much better.
    HUGS, NEET XX

    1. Thanks Neet, the sky was really scary and we still don't seem to be through this patch of changeable weather. Still, there's nothing we can do except sit it out. Heike is feeling better, today we went out for lunch and that was nice. Have a great weekend, take care, hugs!
