Rainy days

Do rainy days get you down?  Sometimes when we experience a couple in a row -and it seems like we keep getting a couple in a row - it gets me down.  Yesterday, I thought what a good day to curl up with a good book or some really exciting knitting and just veg.

But today, yuck!   I just would like to crawl back into bed, pull the covers up over my head and wait for sunshine tomorrow.  It will be better with sunshine on it!

So I packed, headed into the shop and pulled into the driveway - with a frown I think.  And I was greeted by a stray shaft of light that made me sit up and take notice.  this is what greeted me.







As I got out of the car, I felt a little bit better.  Originally, the previous owner planted about 6 individual yellow snaps.  I let them go wild, added a couple of pink ones and viola!  Thanks to the birds, bees and other creatures, the seeds have spread over the decorative rocks.  They brighten things up and bring a sense of cam and happiness.  Don't know why.  Color always helps.

Need some color in your life?  Look for it today - and smile - it really does help - even when it hurts.
