A new flowerpot for a Hosta idea!
Garden fairs are on their way in May!

Just don't put all your Easter decorations in one plastic bag!
Not a good idea, not good at all!

17 million people!

 The population of The Netherlands reached 17 million last week!
It's one of the most densely populated countries!
According to the Internet....
The Netherlands, in size, is comparable to the state of Maryland.
But we still do have a lot of green spaces!
Yesterday we joined the Friends of Het Gooi 
on a walk through Ankeveense Plassen
Still so many new places to visit!

The Green Machine!

 I   did   it   again! I just couldn't resist!
A new life for a beauty of a machine!
 Isn't she classy!
 This one threads from left to right!
It took a bit of oil to get it running....
And not me, but someone else to thread it correctly!
Thank You!  It works like a charm!
It's a real family machine! 
These are the hands of a teenager sewing by hand!
A Snow Drop to  end an 11C Spring day!
