Just some pictures :)

 Our  apples trees are blooming
 Our girls are pregnant? Or not?
 Queens day this Monday (DH took this picture, I was in Shanghai)
Look at that Malus in bloom!
 Today I worked on my new window :)
 When I see these towers I know I am nearly home. I just love a sky like this when it brings out this light on the trees and green.
 This is what I am painting on Wednesdays. The view from my garden...........
An yes in real the towers are that crooked:)
 My cactus bloomed and had still some Orchids left from Bangkok!
 Last one standing. Can you believe I brought these flowers home the 21st of February. That is more than 10 weeks ago!

 Today on my way to my stained glass class we  were early and visited the castle in Burg-Haamstede.

Have been to Shanghai in the meanwhile, but couldn't blog there or get on Facebook.......so I missed a lot.
Returned Tuesday late and have had 2 busy days and so will be tomorrow. Nearly no time to catch up with you all. I try to do little by little while drinking my morning coffee.

Have a nice day!

  1. Some great photos here. Nice of your hubby to take some for you too. Love the painting. At first I thought it was a real photo not a painting. Had to look twice. Welcome back hope you get rested up before having to take off again.

    1. Yes busy times. Now I have to work only 2 more times before my summer holiday starts.
      The window is drying now and I will collect it Monday.

  4. What a great post , Marianne. I love so much seeing where and how you live.

    Your painting is really coming along. The leaning makes it all the more precious. But omg that window. Marianne! I had no idea you were tackling such a huge creative stained glass project. The clamps alone speak to that

    You and Mim, for some reason especially blow me away. I think it is because you are so humble and understated about the variety of art and talent that you live

    1. I hope one day you will see it with your own eyes!
      The glass project was bigger than I expected. It took me 4 days instead of the 2 planned :)
