birthday

I can hardly realize 

that it's already

39 years 

ago that our dearest was born

.....

time flies

...

Still so happy she's around  !

Now she herself is a proud mother of three 

We had a fun day with lots of nice people

Normally we measure the time of her birthday 

in the start of the daffodils blooming

.....

alas : all still very green !

(or maybe some tiny specks of yellow on a warm south facing spot,
the photo is last year's)

After the first very warm bit of spring two weeks ago

the winter cold came back

But ... I was lucky to get some flowering branch from a friend

so there still is the beginning of spring inside

Magnolia

Now that it's almost Easter

my old colleagues from school come to borrow my hand puppets 

This bunch will be ready to perform in the puppet-show

(still have to locate the spring fairy ...

in another box probably ...)
