A little bit of fresh air...


Winter has a beauty all it's own, so when my DH had some time to spare yesterday, we decided to go for a drive and take in some fresh air. Yes, I have a long list of things to do, but sometimes you just have to stop and appreciate the trees...and I'd rather admire tree moss than do the ironing!




I love toadstools and mushrooms of all kinds too, especially the poisonous ones, they seem to be the most picturesque!



On the drive home, this rainbow was 'following' us. We couldn't stop as we were on a freeway, and this picture is through the car window... but it really made my day to see such a radiant rainbow streaming colours through the gloomy rainclouds.


It's really the simple things that are so wonderful.

  6. It is nice to take some time to spend with DHs, too. Sometimes we get so involved in our quilting passions that we forget our DHs... At least I do...
