After a long radio silence, I’m back with cloudy sunrises, olive trees, poppies, and a magpie thief.
Sunrise dressed in gray fluffies
Olive trees whisper of home
Cloud halos the branch
Cloud rising
Poppies cluster
Sun sun sun
Thief in black and white
An army of clouds
My blog’s got a new rhythm too. An updated Home, a shelter for my art at My Art Journey, Visuals for design glimpses, Fine Tuning for our music, and Art & Echoes for tributes, reblogs, friends, and Life in Frames. Back to blogging, and I hope you’ll walk with me!
the supervisor with a rainbow heart!
Happy Tuesday, everyone
and a belated Happy April too!

Oops!!– sorry!!– didn’t mean to be Mr. Anonymous!!! 🍨🍨🍨😋💦🥰
I would’ve known this Anonymous anytime! 😉
🍨🍨🍨🍨🍨🍨🍨🍨🍨🍨
Hooray, hooray, hooray!! The Goddess of Art, Music, and All Things Beautiful has returned!!– and her many fans rejoice!!– especially me!!
So good to see you back up and running here, dear Marina!! I seem to remember you and Oannes were moving to a new house (??). Hope everything worked out well– you were probably ready for a break!!
Thanks for checking in at my end– it was so good to hear from you!! Yes, mean ol’ WordPress seems to have discontinued the usual notifications at some point. I clicked Follow in a hurry here, so hopefully we’re reconnected!!
Wonderful to know you’re here and still bringing joy to all, as is your custom! Excuse me now while I give into my emotions!!! 🚀🌖🪐☄️🌔💥🚑👽👽👽👽👽👽👽👽👽👽👽👽👽👽👽👽👽👽🍨🍨🍨🍨🍨🍨🍨🍨🍨🍨🍨🍨🍨🍨🍨🍨🍨🍨🍨🍨🍨🍨🍨🍨😋💦💥😅🥰
Hooray, hooray indeed! Hooray for seeing you here, my kind friend! We are finally settling in after a very long and strenuous [and then some] move. We’re already 8 months in our new home and starting to notice the beauty outside!
Wordpress has been too eager on ‘updates’ so much so we’re losing touch with each other!
I’m so glad I rediscovered you!
Zeus is particularly happy too!
Guess what he’s sending:
🍨🍨🍨🍨🍨🍨🍨🍨🍨🍨🍨🍨🍨🍨🍨
The painting, pictures, and your doggy are perfect and amazing. the clouds are beautiful.
Hi, Charlie, great to see you! I’ve been away for some time. Thank you, my friend!
How are things treating you? Hope all is well.
You welcome. 🙂
Lots of changes but all’s well, my friend!
Hope you’re well too!
Marina, these photos are wonderful! It was fun to see the magpie. (I wrote a magpie character named Jinx in one of my books.) Hugs.
Was Jinx a thief?!!!! Thank you so much, Teagan! Many hugs back to you! xo
Hi Marina, I searched you and found this post, but I didn’t get a notification. I was just thinking about you. WP has been snarky lately. Anyway, I was thinking about you, so I’m happy to see you post again as you have been missed. And your photos are stunning as ever! Hera is beautiful too, and we miss Copper so much. It’s so good to see you, my friend. Sending hugs! xoxoxo
It seems that WP ‘exiles’ people who are offline for some time, what can I say! With the house, relocation and new garden I’ve been on and off and sometimes even thought of retiring from wp, at least for some time. Instead I decided to renew my look and return. I miss my friends and love sharing stuff from my little corner of the world. I miss Copper too and I’m still expecting to hear his stories and see his sweet eyes. That little rainbow in Hera’s heart reminds me how close all our pups that crossed it really are. Sending many many hugs and love …and multiplied tail wags from Hera. xoxoxoxoxo
It happens, and I’m so glad you didn’t retire from WP! I know you’ve been busy with a lot, but it’s great to have you back, and the new look is wonderful! I’d love to do the same thing, but I haven’t had the time. Thanks for your comforting words about Copper, and give Hera a big hug for me. Lots of love and hugs back to you! xoxoxoxoxoxo
I have no idea how I decided to make that change! If I knew the work beforehand, I might have chickened out! 🤣😂 I’m very happy you like it! Hera sends love and tail wags. More hugs and love to you! xoxoxoxoxoxoxo
I love the poppies cluster. Can I pick one?😍
Ah, by all means, Hazel! Help yourself! 😉 🙏
It was wonderful to see a new post from you, Marina–and what a post it is with those POPPIES! I’m glad you’re back to blogging.
I’m so happy to see you, Liz! It’s been a very long time away. Glad you like my poppies. The fields are full of poppies. Funny how they grow so fast. For many days we had fields of anemones, then yellow flowers and now poppies and chamomile. xoxo
So many flowers to see outside your window!
It’s my first spring view from this place and it all seems magical!
Wonderful!
I think England must have stolen all of your blue skies and sunshine Marina…. Love your poppies, And we have an olive tree growing in a tub, we take it into the green house to over winter, it must be perhaps 9 or ten years old maybe older we got it when it was around One ft high.. ,,, It has produced a few olives too, though they have never ripened enough to eat … 🙂 Those olive trees look magnificent xx Sending LOVE your way … ❤ xx
Our blue skies and sunshine were indeed stolen! We even have cold a couple of days now! Olive trees are wonderful. The only one I had in a pot from our previous apartment, I planted during the summer and I was surprised to see it full of olives a few months later. The other ones [I think they are about 30+ years old] produced very few [most of them stolen by magpies!] but now we pruned them I’m hoping we’ll have more for us too! I don’t think it needs a greenhouse. They are pretty resilient. Most of my days now are occupied by weeding. Good grief those things pop up everywhere!!!! Whenever I go out I start by uprooting a couple and three hours later I realize I just finished a few meters! 😱 But you know all about that!
Sending more love and hugs! xoxoxoxoxoxo
I am glad your Olive tree took to its transplanting place… I said to hubby I think Olive trees can withstand cold… The pot it is now in takes some moving, So this coming winter we may well be testing our cold winter and its survival skills.. ..
Laughing at the weeding … 🙂 Yes its a constant battle… I was on our plot this morning two hours hoeing up weeds… 🙂 xx ❤ Laughing 🙂 Yes I know all about that! hahaha…..
I am just finishing up a garden blog post 🙂 at Dreamwalker’s Garden Blog 🙂 xx It is Hard work Marina, but satisfying 🙂 💚💚💚
Hard but satisfying indeed. It feels like meditating. I knew you’d laugh!
Try moving your olive tree early autumn to acclimate it. I planted mine during a heatwave[!] July and it was fine! I just had to water it often.
I’ll be on the lookout for your post!
xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo
Thanks for the advice. Xx ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
😘 Ask first! I’m only a new earth worker! 😉

Dear Marina, it is so good to meet you again, here on WP. You have been missed and what gorgeous red poppies you colour this post with! And a bonus photo of Hera! Looking forward to meeting you here this summer and renewing our friendship online! 🤗💐😘
It is great to be back, my friend and very happy to see you here!
Cheers to friendships and beautiful days ahead!
🎶🌷🙏
I was so excited to see you come up in my reader, Marina. You made my day pure sunshine!!!
Aww… I’m also very excited to return here and seeing you made my sun shine brighter! Many hugs your way!
What a beautiful post, Marina. I love the poppy paintings. Cute little B&W thief. The rainbow-hearted supervisor is adorable.
Ah, thank you, Tim! It’s been ages! Somewhere between digging and work I decided to change face and restart! 😉 Hera may have given the signal!

A light touch of many tidbit of your home. No wonder you love the new location, which was worth the wait. Including your painting also made me smile. Welcome back … and I hope all is well. Yamas!
Hi, Frank! and I’m double happy for that smile! 😉 It was indeed worth the wait. All is well [within the realm of reality]. Hope all is well with you too!
Yamas!
Love the poppies, the olive trees, clouds, and the supervisor’s rainbow heart. I’m glad I was here for it.
Oh, so am I, Brenda! So good to see you! Thank you, my friend! xo
Hugs!
