FRIDAY's FAVE FIVE

more participants at Susanne at Living to tell the Story.


I have still not fully recovered from my cold, what stayed is a terrible fatigue which makes me very angry as I am not used to that I think last time it happened to me must be at least 7 years ago.

So I drag myself from kitchen to computer, at least there I can sit and still see something of the world !
What a nice thing blogging is when you feel so weak.

On Monday evening I was invited for Ilona's 70th birthday. Of course I didn't want to miss this event, especially we are born in the same year and I will celebrate my 70th birthday this year too.



Her daughter had organized a big party secretly, Ilona didn't know anything ! She was so surprised when she saw her whole family and best friends. Ilona has 5 grandchildren who are all married or in a relationship and the baby you see is her great granddaughter ! I think she looks great for a great grandma !
It was a real nice party and we all had a lot of fun. At 10 I returned home, and was happy that I had made it !

Ilona had invited friends for coffee and cake in honor of  her birthday in her home, and we spent a nice afternoon all together, but at 5 pm I had to go home, I was feeling again so tired.



Our painting class had its last day before the Easter holidays, I pulled myself together and went there at least to say  hello, for painting I didn't have the energy. The entrance of the retirement home where we have our classes had decorated some vitrines for Easter, but less then last year. I think it's just because it's so cold and also because Easter is so early this year. I loved the little bunnies made from 2 wool balls. What a nice idea.

I had to drive my neighbor to the hospital for her monthly eye shot, I just managed to get there and back, which left me exhausted ! The next day I just did nothing except some blogging. I just didn't feel like doing anything. Fortunately the freezer is filled with lots of meals, which I just have to warm up in the micro wave.

 Hopefully it will get better next week ! My energy is hidden like an Easter egg and I just can't find it !

WHEN SPRING ARRIVES

more participants at Jenny Matlock's Alphabet Thursday

On March 20 spring began officially and lasts until end of May, at least here in the Northern Hemisphere.

But what happens so special in spring ? We all wake up or should at least and realize that the days are longer it becomes warmer and nature gets crazy !

Some humans are feeling depressed and retire in their deep black hole and call it spring (seasonal) depression others are coming out of their black holes because the autumn/winter depression is finished Some others are suffering from strong spring fatigue and feel weak, tired and without any energy.

Flooding, hails and thunderstorms happen in spring, and even snow storms like this year !

But then trees get leaves and the flowers come out, nature begins to take color.

Boys begin to look even more as usual at girls and men discover that there are other women to look at in streets and parks than their own one at home.

Girls do the same but more discreet. That's called sexual equality.



Cats are laying in the sunshine and sing operas during nights looking at the moonshine or fight with a lot of noise with another male for a cute female cat.

Dogs try to climb over the fences to find a partner especially when she smells so good. Dog owners are doing skateboard on the street pulled by their dogs running behind a nice looking (and smelling) dog girl.

Horses forget that they have a human on their back and ran after a horse lady, while the human tries with all his forces to stay in the saddle.

Cows are laying in the grass and leak each other tenderly until a bull hops over the fence

Windows are cleaned and you suddenly realize that a new neighbor has moved in. Curtains are washed and the room looks much brighter. Some housewives get crazy and clean from morning till evening the home from top to bottom.

Men suddenly discover that their car has to be cleaned from the winter dirt and salt.

Shops and boutiques are full of the new spring collections and women look for new feathers
.
Birds are arriving from far and settle down to built their nests. The once which stayed here do the same.

Early mornings you wake up and spring (or fall) out of your bed because of the bird's singing.

Hairs are cut and shaved off the whole body.

Babies are created. Couples get married (not necessarily in this order)

Spring feelings are in the air !
