And petals - wow! Like birthday confetti. I hope you had a lovely day. :-)
That's an impressive number of steps Freda - did it feel it or did they creep up on you while you weren't looking?

I did have a lovely day thanks and a fairly easy stroll around the gardens over a couple of hours added up to a surprising lot of steps!

Thank you Lucille. A friend tells me that on a city break she did 22,000 steps in a day! Must wear the gadget on my next visit to the city..

Happy birthday, Freda...all of that in one day? The crazy weather, the flowers, the confetti of them dropping...it reminds me of how our emotions have such a wide range too....and often all in one day...

Yes! Quite a day (but fun and not so tiring either).

It looks like there has been a shower of petals. For your birthday, no doubt. Congratulations with the new lifeyear, and the amazing amount of steps.

Didn't realise our birthdays are so close together (mine is 29th), can't help wondering about age now, but won't ask of course.

Mother Nature just didn't know quite what to give you for your birthday so she decided to give a little bit of everything--though I am sure you would have been quite content if she just stopped at sunshine.

Seems you certainly stepped out during your "tea half hour" (an expression my British mother used frequently whenver we did a lot in a little bit of time). Happy day-after-your Birthday. xo

Happy Birthday! I don't know if you would be interested but my meditation newsletter is recommending a retreat organisation for people who have lost their life partner. It's called Fire and Rain Soul Spa...

Glad you had a good day, Freda. Impressed by the number of steps. I really enjoy your blog - don't always leave a comment but it always gives me pause for thought. Love your photos and the move to simplicity.

Happy belated birthday wishes Freda - sorry to miss the day we were away in Scotland and no internet. Two days before my daughters birthday too - April is a lovely month for a birthday - I remember one year we would be having picnics in the sunshine and another year snow!
