Impressions…
Winter fruits in a bowl
Bringing cheer

A cold South wind
Bringing Snow on the Alps
Silently falling on some high flung Snow Fields
For skiing enthusiasts
For me though, I must find that oh so lightweight merino wool wrap cardigan from Aldi purchased for a song
Ah, yes, it’s lovely and warm to take with me to Worship

Later observing other peoples impressions as I drive home

Find and soak up that spot of sunshine sheltered from the wind
Watching young children run round and playing
Young hot blooded fun in sports attire
With hair blowing and streaming behind
Yelling and laughter
Whilst us oldies watch pulling collars up round our ears
Indeed also tightly wrapping jackets closer and wishing for that hot coffee

#Impressions. Sunday on a Winters'sDay. Winter fruits, seasonal fruit, citrus, coats, jackets, winter coats, country winter wear, corduroy jacket for the country, what to wear to the country

Seasons of the year and cycles of life, constantly changing
One moment young and in a blink it seems we are old

Greyest of lowering skies at the start of day
Ending with teasing hues of vermillion and orange sunset

#Impressions. Sunday on a Winters'sDay. Winter fruits, seasonal fruit, citrus, coats, jackets, winter coats, winter night, Sunday Worship, sunset, red sky, evening sky, creation, glory of the heavens, meditate

To the blackness of night on a Sunday in winter

To rest and peace, preparing for a new week inside homes we are blessed to be able to warm.

Forgot that it was Earth Week until I saw it on Facebook…so I am quickly sneaking in before the week is up.

I did my bit by planting lawn runners on a bare patch in the front lawn where previously was a bush garden that had aged too much….

I didn’t have lawn seed nor instant lawn in a roll so used what I had.

By pulling up bits of my lawn from the edges I planted them in sort of rows using an old-fashioned method.

…I’ll just have to be patient and wait as they start growing, spreading and intermeshing.

Time is what I have plenty of
