NOTE FROM MARIE TO BLOGGERS:


To my fellow bloggers: I am sending my first bulletin regarding my situation, health-wise. I deeply appreciate the good wishes you have sent me and it is touching to know I’m not forgotten. I have had a very illness-free life so it was a surprise when I had a life-threatening medical emergency necessitating surgery followed by two months in hospital and another 4-5 months under the care of a hospital-in-the-home service. I am improving from day to day. I am pleased to report that I have regained strength in walking (now without aids) and I am becoming more independent and almost well enough to cope with living alone. My daughter saved my life in so many ways. She refused to give up on me and she nagged and bullied (in the nicest possible way) and persuaded me to believe the fight was worth fighting. She lives in the same street only a minute or two away if help is needed.

My problems melt into insignificance with the pandemic now affecting the lives of every person living on the planet. I wish you all a safe journey through the mayhem of life changing rules and the attack on the economy.

Take a Word Challenge #33 - Insects

Wow!  Who said insects can be boring?  Willy has given us this scrumptious sample picture to inspire us.  Thanks so much, Willy.  What a celebration of colour!
Yes, the theme this week is INSECTS.  We can't wait to see what you do with your creepy crawlies.
You can find Willy's blog HERE

    Willy, your sample is wonderful! The colors are stunning.
    Here is my insect piece; as you'll see, I tend to keep my insect images minimal (if non-existent) due to, shall we say, some phobias :).

    Yep, my insect piece is sparse, too. I don't like very many insects. I do think bees are pretty nice, though, as long as you don't step on one. My picture is on my blog here.
