Does this mean that spring has finally sprung? Don’t hold it against me if I’m not ready to take Mo Nature’s word for it though. Not after running in that chilly, windy mess yesterday. It was not a pretty sight . . . not any of it.
But spring . . spring/summer . . . warmer weather. It has me feeling as giddy as Will Smith at a slap fighting competition!
That means I have totally cheated and gone to look for something golden mustardy coloured as per your request! We don’t even have dandelions yet, never mind anything remotely looking like flowers. However, I think a little brightness this morning was not a bad idea after all.
Warmer weather. Yes, pleased. It’s not here yet, that is for sure! So, I figured I’d slap on some images in preparation of what’s to come…
When you’re good, you’re very good but when you’re bad? You’re better. 😉
The mustard gold! Yes of course and now I get what the question was for. Apologies, I am a little slow, what with Mo Nature playing her Yo-Yo (Ma) on us. 25 this morning, 50’s this afternoon. 70’s tomorrow. Come on now.
Good morning, Dale. Is the snow gone? We just completed a cold blast, which is followed by a huge increase in temps – and that means storms on the horizon. Well … definitely March. Thanks for the colors of spring.
Mostly gone, yes. Still mounds where the ploughs pile it and a few spots in my backyard. I’ve been too sick to go out walking in the bitter cold we have been having so I went into my archives for today.
Glad you enjoyed the pop of spring (taken last May 😉 )
So nice to see sunshine yellow in the early morning dark. Beautiful captures. So real I almost sneeze. 😉 Here the weather can’t decide whether or not to be spring or winter. I vote for spring. Sigh. A good morning to you, my friend.
So glad you enjoyed my archive pick. It’s pretty darn cold here and I was not venturing out to find a WW sooo… total cheat today 😉 A good morning to you, tooo!
I asked Marc what colour he wanted to see and he said mustard gold (since I knew I would have to dig in my archives) – this was the closest I could find! It’s less mustard and more sunshine, but hey… Beggars can’t be choosers.
And yes, I needed something like this to brighten my spirits!! 😍
And thank you!
Buahahahaha! Seriously 😉
Actually, I looked at more pictures and I could have done like you (with a picture from Tuscany) where the golden hour on part of a building does have a golden mustard hue. Oh well.
I shall take the lovely and cheerful as well. I must! I am so done with it.
Excellent! I figured we Canadians could use a little dose of sunshiny yellow (since we still have seen no signs. Well, here in Quebec, anyway!) So glad you were triggered.
So beautiful. Forsythias? They have exploded in Central Park, and always remind me of a woman who loved them, and how her husband, at her memorial service, filled vases of them all over the church. It was so lovely. That’s what you and your eye evoked today, Madam.
Thank you, Susannah. I fear I do not know. This is a cheat as there are still no blooms that I can see (not that I’ve gone out very far since I’m sick) so I went into my archives and wanted something sunny and happy!
I love that this is what I evoked 🙂
Not lately, that’s for sure. I’ve only posted here for WW. Haven’t posted on my own blog for over two weeks. And my usual IG has been less than! This sick business ain’t no fun.
Now I don’t want to lecture but…when one’s body takes such a stand, it really is talking in the only language it knows. Slow down, rest more, eat less sugar and carbs, cut down on alcohol. I’m just suspecting knowing how much you do, that your self-care has been down a quart.
Lecture away! I believe it wholeheartedly, anyway. And, there is the added stress of knowing I was looking for a new job, having to quit (nice people, boring job) once finding said new job. There is a fear, no matter how slight, about change that can hit us when we unwittingly allow it to weaken us. I know I was stressed and when I did find the job. BOOM. I was sick three days later.
I’m self-caring big time, I can promise you that.
Forsythia? Beautiful shots evoking the heart of spring, sprunging. It is spring, sprang, spung…right?
Anyway, thank you for these sweet shots, dear Thunder!
Be Sorry . . . Less
