Fridays Fave Five,

Here we go for another Fave Five, another week is over....

1. We have had some sun and some rain this week and one always tends to remember only the rain. But we've had some fairly good moments. Not good enough to eat outside I'm afraid, but good enough to get some work done and clean up the patio.

2. We got rid of all the dead plants and bags of old potting soil, plastic pots, you know all of the stuff that takes up space but adds only chaos? It's all gone now, and it looks neat and clean.
A couple of new hanging baskets in full bloom and the red Acer tree make it look like a little corner of paradise to me.

3. I am not the only one who thinks so, look what I saw this morning!

I took this picture early this morning, when I saw this mother (blackbird ?? how do you call them?) feeding her kid. I had to take it through the window and I was rather in a hurry so it's not a perfect picture, it is a little bit blurry, but hey .... I dedicate this picture to all the mothers of this world.
After all, mother's day is coming up soon, right?

4. Has to be the new chair my husband bought me. He needed a new one and because he knows I spend a lot of time here, he bought the same one for me! Yaaay! That huge ugly red one is gone now and replaced by a very comfortable and much compacter black and white one.

5. This blog has gotten quite a lot of extra attention this week. I was made Post of the Day on David Mc Mahon's Authorsblog this week, which brought quite a lot of new visitors and even some new followers! Thank you so much David, and hello and welcome to all the new readers!
And then there was the Scavenger hunt. Thom set up a last minute voting campaign on his blog last night. Mahalo Thom, you're such a good friend. I came out second, which is great, I am so happy!!! I am very grateful for all of the votes and the effort all of you made to get me there!! Like I have said before, the friendship I found here through this blog is very precious and dear to me. I would not be blogging if it was not for you all, my friends. Thank you so much.
