  1. I am way, way, way, late arriving on your March Post Marina…. Happy March my friend.. And LOVE your garden flowers and views… Sending big hugs and much love…. xx ❤

  2. Thanks for this marvelous post, Marina. The photos are wonderfully moody, and then the sparkling colors of the flowers. A rocky March? Sigh… The whole year has been rocky. Wishing you blue skies. Hugs.

  3. I felt spring jump out from your post and said, I have come back, Marina. The earth has awakened and it is time to celebrate a new season!!! Welcome March!!! We are glad that you arrived.

    • Ah, so nice to hear, Rebecca! I’ve also been offline for sometime. March came and left so fast and here we are, in April with color everywhere! Many hugs your way!

  4. Dahling,

    I was just about to say, Happy February! Where did January go?

    Now, it’s March.

    Love your almost spring pics, and the flowers are best!

    Much love, many hugs and a box of sponges!

    xoxoxoxoxoxoxo

  5. Yay! Love seeing your gorgeous photos and that video was fun, too.

    February flew by, didn’t it? It doesn’t usually.

    Your bouquet is lovely and what a wonderful thing to be able to pick them from your backyard!

    And, that thundercloud looks like an elephant that is smoking!

    Wonderful. So glad to see you posting, Miss!

    • I’m getting worse, aren’t I?! Took two days to get to reply! What’s happened to the hours of the day?!!!! Definitely flew by.

      It’s lovely walking outside and getting flowers. The other day we went out with mom and picked ‘horta’ [leafy greens… I don’t know the english version!], boiled them and yum yum!

      You’re right about the elephant smoking!

      Thank you, chérie!

      Sending lots of love and hugs xoxoxo

  6. Happy March. Beautiful photos. Great video of the clouds and seagulls. We have seagulls up here, and it is so strange to see seagulls in the desert. The crows fight with the seagulls.

  7. Happy March, Marina. Wishing you and yours all the best for this month. You have quite the view, which I’m sure you greatly appreciate with each glance. Spring has sprung for you – so enjoy the spring preceding the summer heat. Yamas!

    • Hi, Frank! Thank you, my friend. Cold keeps coming back, as well as very strong winds, so spring is shy yet, but we do get brave flowers blooming.

      All the best to you too and loved ones. It’s a shame we hadn’t moved in here when you visited! Yamas!
