Weekly Photos 17/52.

1. I spotted these pretty little flowers growing underneath the big umbrella shaped leaves of their host plant.  Even the light under the plants was slightly green. 2. Dog walking selfie! 3. The clay is almost done.  Some of the beads and pendants need to be glazed some more, but I love my mountain pendant. 4. I snagged a pile of National Geographic magazines from the free box at the library this weekend. 5. May Day flowers given to us from our fabulous neighbours. The USA doesn’t really  seem to celebrate May Day, but I remember skipping around the maypole when I was a kid in the UK and having the day off for May Day bank holiday. Happy Monday/May Day Bank Holiday!

I don’t know what any of these flowers are, but they are pretty and all over the park floor.  I got to stand among them for a while as the dog had a sniff about. I borrowed the paper cutter in the library to chop up my new coloring postcards this week. Some trees are still blooming, this pink one at the park is a stunner. I finished ‘A Man Called Ove’, and I love love loved it.  It is such a good read, Ove is a wonderful character.  It is funny, thoughtful and a great story. I got some clay to play with and I made some beads and pendants, fingers crossed that they all turn out, or at least most of them!  I will be sure to update …
