The lucky lady has this view every morning from just about every window in the house. She says she goes about prioritizing her day as the sun peeks over the horizon and calls all the roosters to crow and the people to rise, adding NEW things to her to-do list and carrying over old ones. It is a nice sentiment - I start most of my days half way around the world with a list as well . . .
My photo this week is of my birthday present, a NEW bicycle. I have wanted a bike for a while now but really wasn't fussed about what bicycle I got, looking for something second hand that no longer served any purpose with its previous owner - that was, until I saw this baby. Isn't she beautiful? Her name is Sunshine, and I do love her so:
Of course, we all know I am OCD and can't add just one photo to this blog, the point is to share right? So I took my new bicycle around the pond and thought I would snap at anything I see that's new and include it too - I was hoping the swan sitting on her eggs would have some cygnets to show for her work (no, not gemstones, baby swans!!! although she deserves jewelry, she has been sitting there forever! Rain, sleet, sun - it matters not, what a good mom!). Baby swans are new. Alas, she is still earning her jewelry, no babies yet. I did find this sign of spring, sorry it's blurry but it turns out it's kinda hard to take photos and ride a bike at the same time:
I also found this and it's new - I guess he didn't want the woodsmen to come hack up his tree. As my mom can testify, we are surrounded by hundreds of acres of natural forest and wood companies send teams out to retrieve fallen trees after the winter to cut up and dry for sale the next winter for people to heat their homes. It is a great service because it reduces the fire hazard in the forests, but I guess they can be a nuisance if you are tree territorial:
I also met a new neighbor who was out gardening and watching curiously as a woman cycling by on a yellow and blue bicycle stopped to photograph a fallen tree. Her name is Penny, she seems very sweet but I couldn't photograph her, somehow 'can I take a photo of you for the internet' doesn't seem to be a good neighborly introduction so I restrained myself. I know! Can you believe it? I must be growing up!
When I returned to our house, I saw our daffodils have emerged as well - another sign of spring. Most signs of spring seem to be yellow - anyone ever notice that?
Aren't they pretty? So that is my 'new' this week. It was fun! I choose the theme for next week and by then, this post will be old news!
