Weekly Smile

My Avocado plant, which was outside over Summer

somehow broke in the wind.

I took it inside now as it gets colder.

Suddenly I found a new shoot coming of the broken stem.

Hurray ! How wonderful to keep fighting and growing.

This made me smile and happy.

 

This is my smile for Trent’s Weekly smile.

Weekly Smile

Yay

Trent’s Weekly Smile is back!

 

 

I am smiling about my progress in crocheting.

I love this cardigan I saw on Yochet’s blog.

 

 

After a couple of hurdles, as all is American….

translating it into English/German stitch names and converting the sizes I finally started.

I am smiling today that it is nicely growing.

 

Well worth a smile

don’t you think?

 

Shades of Green

Green is the colour of nature.

The colour of Mother Nature

The colour of Life and energy.

It symbolizes growth, harmony, freshness, and fertility.

Green has strong emotional correspondence with safety.

Dark green is also commonly associated with money.

 

…. just look at these different greens….

so many shades

 

 

and many different shapes and textures.

 

 

Green is relaxing for me, it feels warm, yet fresh.

However I do not have many outfits in green.

Do you love green?

What is your favourite colour?
