HODGEPODGE MAY 8, 2025

1. Let's compare this May to last May. What's changed? What remains very much the same? 

It was pretty much the same, cold, rainy and I had the visit of son and grandson. The weather remains the same, it's still cold, rainy, humid and grey !

2. What's something you may do this month? 
 
I have two plans for this month. If the sun is shining I will take my tablet and choose a quiet spot in the shade, or I start to paint again, I am already looking  to buy what I need. I hope I keep my projects !
 
This kind of painting is called "Pouring"
 
3. Mother's Day is approaching (in the US of A)...in what way(s) are you like your mother? 
 
I am not at all like my mother,  she was short, a bit round, had brown hairs and brown eyes. I am tall, blond, slim and have green eyes. I don't look like my father neither, he was not tall, and also had brown hair. People who know us always say that I am a cuckoo's egg ! 

4. Did you have a favorite book as a child? What was it and why was it a favorite. 
 
 
As a child and even longer I have been a real bookworm. I think I have read all books which were here in our public library plus those from friends and those I owned. I remember that I liked the "Famous Five" as a child, of course it was written in German. 

5. Are you more of a tortoise or a hare? Explain. 

I don't know the story and as usual googled for the meaning it says : acting quickly, rashly, and carelessly can cause you to fail, whereas thinking things through first can lead to success".

I am not really a tortoise neither a hare, I think I am a mixture of both, I act often quickly, without thinking, but I think later and am mostly successful ! In short, I spring in the water and then I ask myself if I can swim !

6. Insert your own random thought here. 

To be honest, I don't have any thoughts. My days are almost always the same, and I have nothing else to do but have fun. The good life, at least for the moment, I have nothing !

WORDLESS WEDNESDAY


HALWOOD (Bois de Hal, Belgium)

This wood in Hal, near Brussels, is particularly known for its vast expanses of wild bluebells which usually flower around the end of April or beginning of May, earning the nickname 'the blue forest'.

It is really beautiful to walk around and see this blue carpet.
