The catkins were especially lovely to see as I have been looking at the pages of The Country Diary of an Edwardian Lady all week long. Her entries for this same week in January 1906 included a watercolor of catkins and a diary entry about seeing some on a walk through the countryside....like you.<br /><br />Thank you for the beauty,<br /><br />LesleyLesley Austinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07127382012643598284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5266224907043302947.post-88481436373481038302011-01-25T19:38:53.225+00:002011-01-25T19:38:53.225+00:00Hi Jane, temperatures have risen here during the l...Hi Jane, temperatures have risen here during the last week and everything seems to be moving in the plant world.<br />The catkins are lovely, nice you brought some inside.<br /><br />I love sheds, the more battered the better.

You're doing great on the resolutions. I started out trying to do a calendar like Jill's this month but petered out a few days ago. I just can't seem to keep up anything that requires daily input! Good to see you're enjoying nature's bounty too. Hope you're having another sunny weekend.

You seem to be doing very well with your resolutions - the vegetarian cooking sounds like it is going well too. Soup is one of my favourite things, I could have it every night and be quite happy and I only make vegetable soups.<br />I've been doing OK too especially with my "movin' more" though it has been very hot and humid and we have taken to walking in the dark at night ( no twilight here.
