The Sky Was Blue ...

Yesterday, (Thursday) the sky was blue, and the sun was shining,
although a little chilly!
 

As I walked along I saw some crocus,


daffodils were beginning to shoot up
but not in bloom yet ...

However, the local supermarket had some nice bunches for sale


they are such a lovely colour and brighten up a room so well.

I enjoyed a tasty cottage pie for dinner
with a lower carb cauliflower topping - see recipe here


Today (Friday) the weather forecast is not so good!
Windy and rainy ...

Think I may get my pink duster out and do some housework!!!
My keyboard does get dusty you know ...
well it is well used 😊 


Whatever your plans are for today, I wish you a good one.

All the best Jan

Your spring is a little ahead of us, but ours will come.

You have crocuses already. I am jealous. It looks like you had a super day and the worst for winter might be passed.

That cottage pie looks great!

Spring is certainly around the corner in your area, Jan. It's always such a treat to see the early crocuses. Enjoy your day.

Yesterday we had thick fog all day... sewing day for me :-)) and baking oatmeal cookies... are delicious.
Today I'm going to exercise... let's see if the sun comes out.
Thank you for your beautiful blue skie and crocus photos...
The first crocuses are wonderful... I'm already keeping an eye out, but I'll have to wait a while longer... it is cold here.
Kind regards from Viola

Blue sky and daffodils. Oh, it looks like spring is coming your way!

Alexandra said...

I just saved the Cottage Pie recipe to my favourites folder! Your flowers offer up much cheer, giving me inspiration to pick up a bouquet at the grocery store. I would need to wrap them in a warm blanket so they survive the cold drive home.

The Happy Whisk said...

I love spring flowers. None yet in my yard. Looking forward to them.

Ananka said...

We have had some sun but still nippy up here. That cottage pie looks good, I can make it with veggie mince. Well Friday and Saturday are my work nights so was in bed today haha!

Bill said...

We had sun again today and a bit cool. 2C

I keep forgetting that England doesn't really have winter!

CJ Kennedy said...

Blue skies? Not this weekend with 6 inches of possible snow on the way. Crocus? They won't be seen for another 2 months. Enjoy your weekend!

DVArtist said...

Thank you and I wish you a wonderful day as well.

Inger said...

Thanks for the good wishes for today. I planned to clean the bathroom and got that done, also a short walk with Faiith and now resting. It's almost 4 PM here in California and time for me to start thinking about dinner.

Ten un lindo viernes. Me gustan las flores. Te mando un beso.

Those big fluffy clouds against that pretty blue is just wonderful. How nice to see flowers blooming already, nothing here so far. I do think we have to have bad weather every now and then just so we can get some cleaning done, LOL :)

Teresa said...

Bonitas esas nubes, me encantan. Deseo que hayas pasado un bonito día.

Crocus! I haven’t seen any yet. I am anxious for spring to come.

Crafty Green Poet said...

Lovely to see crocuses! They're starting to show up here too.

Back2OurSmallCorner said...

I'm looking at my keyboard now and it could do with a little cleaning attention too. Lovely to see a few days when the sky is blue rather than grey.
