Weekend Post

Hi Everybody!

Happy weekend! I am looking forward to a lazy and restful weekend with lots of reading and audio books and walks when the weather allows.

I have another A3 mixed media journal page to share today,, and magicked an extra tag onto one piece so I link to Alison's challenge at AJJ. I wasn't happy with the colours here, but done is done, so it's staying as it is!

And here with added tag for Alison's challenge:

And for Wendy's challenge at Tag Tuesday I have another tag with ladybirds:

And more photos from my daily walks along the Rhine and round about. The photos are not in the right order, Blogger re-arranged them for me:

The chairs have been moved slightly:

The school children have their sport classes outside these days:

This is one of the few remaining farms on our street:

They still keep horses and offer riding for handicapped, you can see a yellow hoist in the background:

The square by the basilica with houses from the middle ages:

The stream which flows into the Rhine:

Have a great day, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!

Hi Everybody!

This week has gone by very quickly. After the stormy weather yesterday, today (Thursday) was cool and cloudy, but good to go walking. I enjoyed being at the Rhine for an hour, with lots of sit-down breaks in between, and was good to be out in the fresh, cool air.

For Paint Party Friday and Alison's challenge at AJJ I have an A3 mixed media journal page. On a textured background I collaged some napkin pieces and stenciled Lenny the lizard with structure paste. Lenny is another of the strange creatures that lives here in Balconia-by-the-Rhine. Lenny is a blue spotted dancing lizard, which dances through long grass to attract a partner. Most people have never seen these lizards, as they are very shy and keep to the  long grass which gives them some protection. They live off white and yellow flowers, greenflies and small slugs:

In the evenings I like watching the birds gathering in the tree behind our garden:

Yesterday evening some of them looked very bedraggled after the storm:

This morning started off well:

I visited the horses on the meadow as always:

I walked along the shore:

But why people have placed two seatless chairs on the path, I have no idea! What do you think?

People walking their dogs along the other side of the Rhine:

 Have a great day, take care,
and have a great weekend!
