Little things that brighten a day.
My snowdrops suddenly appeared, having not been there one day, they were all of a sudden shining from the flower bed. Little gleams of white smiling at me.
Stems of Japonica with the bright coral flowers, opening in the warmth of my sitting room.
Two delightful cushions of Hellebores, brought from my garden in France, flowering, not profusely, but flowering.
A vase of daffodils waiting for my return from the hospital, a present from a friend.
A happy evening with my daughter and grandson who took me to our 'local', The Punch Bowl inn, for dinner. We opted not to stay for dessert but came back to my home and ate ice cream.
Meeting with Social services next Monday to get the Care arrangements in place, so that.....hopefully, I can have my husband home soon.
So many lovely things to lean on, not least, my kind friends, whose comments and messages I treasure.

It's the little things which bring the joy, isn't it. Thinking of you.
Fresh flowers always make me feel better. Enjoyed your post today.
Those flowers are so bright and cheerful. I hope things work out for your husband to have caregivers at home soon.
All the flowers....they are so beautiful. Here's a quote from one of my favorite authors, Laura Ingalls Wilder. It reflects your post perfectly.
As the years pass, I am coming more and more to understand that it is the common, everyday blessings of our common everyday lives for which we should be particularly grateful. They are the things that fill our lives with comfort and our hearts with gladness -- just the pure air to breathe and the strength to breath it; just warmth and shelter and home folks; just plain food that gives us strength; the bright sunshine on a cold day; and a cool breeze when the day is warm.
Elizabeth, I am so glad those beautiful flowers ease your heart a little bit. Such beauty to remind you that you are loved! Praying that all works out well for you to bring your husband home!! xo
Taking the time and mental energy to focus on lovely little things can change one's perspective, I find. I hope this next week is a positive one for you and your husband. Sweet snowdrops and flowers.
Flowers have such a beautiful way of lifting our spirits, don't they?
I just treated myself to some gorgeous tulips yesterday, I couldn't resist, tulips are my favorite flower.
I pray things will soon be settled with your husband and his care.
Bless you ♡
A perfect quote.
Praying that a care package is put into place enabling your husband to come home. Such beautiful flowers.
I love your little gifts from the garden! I love how our Creator cares for us in every season!
Thinking of you and praying this week will be a good one for you both.
Your 'local' sounds like fun. that's what I really miss here - local watering places are either noisy 'sports bars' with TV screens everywhere, or too posh/expensive restaurant bars that just don't have the old fashioned pub feeling at all! Time to make a trip home and do a real Devon pub crawl. haha! Hope I'm still up for such a busy night!
Love, Mary
Prayers for M's return home. Snowdrops are so gorgeous!
Snowdrops and Hellebores, how wonderful. It's good to have flowers in January. How nice to spend an evening with your loved ones. Hope your husband can come home soon.
With such frigid winter temperatures here, it is such a wonderful treat to see you garden! I’ve never grown hellebores but I’m going to look into them, yours are so pretty. Do they make good cutting flowers?
Our Great Father is in all the details of our lives :) It is such a joy to see your lovely flowers, here we are surrounded by snow and ice. Frigid temperatures for awhile :D
Here's to a relaxed and pleasant meeting with Social services and the return home of your husband. I know it will be wonderful for you to have him back home. Beautiful blooms :)
God bless you both,
Connie :)
Oh so lovely to hear that your dear husband can hopefully return home soon. That is such good news. I spotted a few snowdrops too, they are so nice.
You are both in my prayers, love Carolien
Ah how I love a little vase of cheerful Snowdrops - my favourite Spring flowers!
Such good news that your husband will be home with you again soon.
You have such strength of character dear B and I know M will appreciate all that you do for him.
It’s times like this that our faith in God is of great comfort to us.
God bless you both. xx
I find flowers always brighten my disposition. I hope you get to bring your sweetheart home soon. {{hugs}}

Beautiful flowers...and outlook! :)
Wonderful to see that you are being blessed with a variety of flowers. Also good to hear that your daughter and grandson were with you. Praying for you and your husband.
