The Sun Has Got His Hat On

Hip hip hip hooray.

Mike was singing this song last week.

He was enjoying being back home

and the sun was shining.

I was happy that he was home.

It was the longest time I had spent here on my own.

During the winter too,

when the nights are dark,

and the dogs have to have their last walk in the dark.

I kept thinking about bears waking from their slumbers,

and wolves walking,

in search of prey.

So I am very pleased that Mike is home

and I don't have to do that walk by myself now.

I was also very pleased to get the camera back.

Mike had taken it with him.

And I do like to include photos each time I post.

These past few days we've had more snow.

What more snow?

Just as we thought it was all disappearing too.

But that's the way it goes here.

You never can tell.

I thought it would be nice to take some photos of the woodpecker against the snow.

I also took some photos of the dogs.

Nothing new there then.

Jewel looks so tucked in, with her paw cushioning her head.

I got some pics of Paddy and Rufus running round the garden.

I was quite pleased with this one.

All of Rufus' feet are off the ground.

On Sunday, Mother's Day was celebrated in the UK.

In Sweden it is celebrated the last weekend in May.

I had wanted to post something on Sunday to mark the occasion,

but the computer was playing up.

However I did make a cake.

And in the background you can see some of my mum's embroidery.

It is a chairback cover.

One I remember from my childhood.

I used to look at it and picture myself in the garden amongst the old fashioned flowers.
I think my sister must have the matching pair to it,

it was of sentimental value to her as well.

Then just as I finished taking photos of the cake,

I went to pick the camera off the worktop,

and as I picked it up,

the strap snagged round a door handle,

and the camera fell to the floor.

So now I have a camera, but it doesn't work!

I'm not sure we can fix it.

Edited: please note, I have included paragraphs and kept line spacing the same, but Blogger seems to have it's own way of doing things.
