a dose of colour

cherry blossoms

cherry blossom
time
at long last,
feeling the warmth
of the sun,
enjoying
a picnic
in the park,
surrounded
by smiling
faces.
happy may!

an easter tart

needing a meatless
dish for easter,

this delicious
tarta: here; here and here.

earth hour report

the hydro authority reported
the city cut energy consumption by
205 megawatts during earth hour,

reduction of 197 megawatts.
good news. sadly,  my neighbours
were not participating.

for days of
celebrations
and relaxation.

snowflakes

it started
with one
snowflake,
then
i couldn't
stop.
as i snipped
and
unfolded
the
paper
each one
was a
surprise.

the first sunday

up
and
glowing,
the
first candle
lit.
hope!
