April was a month of planting and digging and mowing it seems.  I started to read The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt which I am enjoying and will most likely finish sometime in June!

We started to re-do the bathroom and found some cool old wallpaper and the original floor tiles.  Easter hopped by and welcomed Spring and all things new and growing.  I made hot cross buns and Simnel cake which is all long gone.

Sunflowers seeds were planted on Earth Day and we are watching them peek through the soil and grow at breakneck speed.

I started to run again after about a year of not really running, I am looking at a half marathon in October, so there is some incentive to keep pounding the pavement.

April was also another month of Fat Mum Slim’s Photo a Day, so here are mine.

May is here and the photo taking continues!  I love to look back over the daily photos and see the seasons change.

Have a lovely weekend.  See you tomorrow for Six Word Saturday.

 

That’s all folks
