About Miriam Rogers

Hi, I have been married to Paul for what seems like forever & that's the way I want it to stay. We have a son, now 21 and a Greyhound who is bonkers. I play with paper and glue, I love flowers! and anything that I can hang from anywhere with ribbon. If you need me I can be found in the garden with my camera or in my craft room, come in through the gate, I'll make you a coffee or if it's after 6 you can join me in a glass or wine, or e-mail me. Housework is low on my 'to do' list.

Memorandum Monday and Winter Scavenger Hunt

Posted on February 1, 2016 by Miriam Rogers

I have more items for the Winter Scavenger Hunt by Joy and Eileen to show you. There is a link up at Eileen’s blog today.

Item 6 A puddle
Im sorry to say it has not been difficult to find a puddle around here lately!

Item 5 A snowman
I love the little face on this snowman

Item 4 A star

I saw this star from the top of a bus by the houses of parliament I thought the whole thing would be lit but no, but I do like it.

Item 3 Outside lighting

This was one of so many beautifully lit trees around Canary Wharf in London just before Christmas. It was magical

Memorandum Monday:

I have daffodils in the house, my first this year.

Paul asked me what the difference between a daffodil and a narcissus was and as I was telling him I thought “this isn’t right” so I stopped speaking and looked it up. For someone who loves to know and use the botanical name for plants I was shocked!
Narcissus is actually the botanical name for all daffodils. The type most often sold under the name “narcissus” is actually a different species, Paperwhite Narcissus, which is a smaller plant with smaller, white flowers. Blimey! Oh! and jonquils are Narcissus too. Thank goodness for Sian at High in the sky. I’ve written it down, its gone from head to hand to paper (well electronic paper) that way it will stick.
Waving to you on a bright Monday 1st February afternoon. Hope you have a good week

Thank you to Helena, Maggie, Mary-Lou, and Jane, who joined in last week. I’ll make a linky for us.

If you posted a Short Story and I haven’t said Thank You, Please will you let me know?
I am still getting back into the swing of things on the blogging front and a bit slow visiting.

Thanks

Oh! and I think Rinda’s idea of maybe using the list of words as art journalling prompts is brilliant!

With Helena’s lovely new meme Snap! on my mind I was looking for signs of spring while on the dog walk. It’s still January! What will happen when the weather changes?

Thank you Helena

Week 3

I really, really, really wanted to get a picture of the robin for the Winter Scavenger Hunt.
I have a bid bath in the garden which is a great thing to bring the birds in but they don’t tend to take a long leisurely bath, more of a quick dive in, splash it all around a bit kind of bath.
I was lucky last week to be right there at the window and with my camera in my hand!

This week I went to the shops and bought some mealworms to put on the bird table with the ordinary bird seed. I think my seed is the value kind or the basics or even the blue & white stripes one because the robin is not visiting the table. The mealworms did the trick beautifully. Robin must have exceptionally good eyesight to pick them out on the table or on the ground.
So, I am a happy bunny today, The Winter Scavenger Hunt Item one done and a contribution to Helenas wonderful new meme Snap!

He has spotted the mealworms
