☀Sunlit Sunday: The Penultimate Week


Happy Spring! It has officially arrived here and most of the snow has melted away. It was time to pull out the rabbit and hang the wreath on the door.



Even better, it was time to admire the snowdrops that have finally bloomed, little clumps of them here and there in the garden. Whatever the sky may say, it's a sunny day when those first shoots pop out of the ground.


A couple of snowdrops made in it indoors for closer inspection and just to celebrate the new season's arrival.




Such a simple thing can bring such pleasure.



On the foster front, last night Cameo went on her Extended Visit to the home of a lovely woman who applied for her. The Meet and Greet last Saturday, which included her dog, was a success. Now it's a matter of seeing how Cameo fits into her home and, more specifically, whether the cat accepts living with the dog. He is used to cats; we'll see if Cameo adjusts to him. She certainly likes people! The EV is scheduled for a week, but can be adjusted if need be. It's quite the process; 2 volunteers there last evening, dealing with paperwork and answering/asking questions. That was another bright spot in the week, seeing a couple of volunteers give up part of their Friday evening (after working all week) to help with animal rescue. It warms my heart.

Your turn. This is the second last week of Sunlit Sunday.

  1. Those Snow Drops are so pretty. I'm always torn on whether to cut spring blooms for the house or leave them be. They're so precious and last for such a short while either way. Yours are beautiful on the table.

  2. The wreath is charming - I need one of those. My bunnies need some clothes - I'd better get busy and sew them before they have to hop around without clothes. Oh the snowdrops are so sweet. Good luck with the kitty visit - hope she settles in.

  6. Hello Karen
    Love your pretty rabbit and Easter wreath.
    What a thrill to have a home visit for Cameo, let's hope she and the dog get on and can become friends.
    You have been so kind to her all this time, it must be difficult for you both parting.
    She deserves another safe and loving haven.

  19. I just want to thank you for hosting the Sunlit Sundays. It has really and truly helped me through the late winter weeks. I look around me everyday looking for the positives. I think I tried this regardless before, but Sunlit Sundays gave me an added purpose and determination. We have Spring fully started in our neck of the woods and I am grateful for that. Fir those still in snow it will come soon. Thanks again Karen fir such inspiration. Same time next year?
