It's time for me to take a blog break.
I'm going to spend more time on my offline life rather than my online life for a while, making myself able to focus more of my time on my family.
Wishing everyone a wonderful rest of spring!
I look forward to visiting everyone's blog when I return.

  4. Thank you for your visit on my blog today, dear Lydia. It is good to know that you are back online after a creative phase of withdrawal.

    And Lina from Jordania has visited my blog too, giving me a friendly message in French which she speaks fluently, being a teacher of French for children in Amman, Jordania.

    How nice ! It is a small world, isn't it ?

    Blessings
    Olivia

  10. Lydia..I will be looking forward to reading all your nice posts and great recipes, again.

    I've been trying to tell you that I miss you, and will be glad when you're back, but for some reason, the verification words don't appear--I see it this time, so maybe this comment will publish succesfully.

    We have a storm warning here, but I hope that the weather is nice where you are.

  11. Bonjour Lydia,

    thank you for the compliments on the new look of my blog, I like yours, too. The close-up of the tulip and the pink-red background look lovely.

    Wishing you a happy blogging time this spring (but beware of vultures, they are approaching again !)

    Blessings
    Olivia

  13. Hello Jan,
    Thank you!
    That's odd! I wonder why it is hard to post a comment with me? I hope this problem gets fixed!
    I hope your spring is going well?
    I am doing fine, just busy getting the garden ready and all the usual spring prep.
    Happy gardening!
    Woishing you a great evening,
    Lydia

  14. Hello Olivia,
    Thank you! I took that tulip photo myself, while I had them on my diningroom table.
    I like to change the look of my blog often, also the music.
    I am wishing you a happy blogging time too!
    have wonderful evening!!!!
    Lydia
    PS I'm sure your garden is so pretty right now!

  15. Hello Lina,
    Thank you!And thank you for the kind complement too!!!!
    I am sooo happy you and Olivia have met!!!!
    It's great!!! You are both such kind bloggers and you both have such interesting blogs + you both speak French.
    Your very welcome but there is no need to thank me Lina. I like to let others know when they are great people, that is if I remember to. I love all the people that come to visit my blog and I enjoy visiting them too cause they're just great people!
    I'm glad, I've been lucky to meet decent bloggers who are good natured and kind.
    Fortunately, I have not had too many nasty people visiting me since I started blogging (knock on wood)
    Wishing you a beautiful evening!
    Lydia

  16. Lydia..I don't know why I am not always able to comment, either. Sometimes, the word verification is not there, which prevents it..but I don't know why my emails never make it through to you.

    I emailed you last night, with a link that I thought you would really get a lot out of, but I got a Damian notice, saying that the server wouldn't accept it, or something to that effect.

    Perhaps, if you are interested in receiving the link, you could email me, and I could just hit 'reply' to send it, and maybe you would receive it that way.

    I know you really enjoy your gardening, but you have a real knack for it, just as in so many other of your endeavors.

    Tonight, we are under high wind warning, with gusts up to 60 miles per hour predicted. I hope that we have everything battened down! :)

    Other areas around us are under a tornado warning. I pray that everyone will be safe.

    Your painting of the heart is very beautiful.

    God bless you, and your family, Lydia.
