T stands for....spring or not?

 I missed out last week for the T party, as my car decided it's time for a new one. But here I am with last week's post.

I met dragons during my lunchbreak last week. I love spending my break in the local cemetary. it seems weird, but it's really nice there: quiet (dead people don't talk ;)), lots of birds and lizards to watch, nice benches in the sun or in the shadow, where I can sit and draw/paint.


This time I tried a Chaffinch with minimal watercolor equipment. Love how it turned out.


Although we got some very cold temps, the hedgehogs woke up from hibernation and are back on the terrace to feed on mealworms.


And here's the proof, that I also paint other things than birds. *LOL*


These will be made into greeting cards.


During the few warm days last week, I tested some new BBQ equipment and it worked great. Tasty meat, sausages and veggies.Yum! Love to use this BBQ table like an outdoor kitchen.


And after the BBQ is finished, there is still enough heat to make a nice coffee. The Bialetti works great for that, too, although one has to be careful with the plastic handle, so it doesn't melt.

  1. I loved seeing your little lizard and your beautiful chaffinch. I had to smile when you showed us something other than birds.
    BBQ! It's still too cold here in Spain to be thinking of that, but next month I will surely get my equipment out as I love BBQs.
    Happy T-Day,
    Lisca

  3. I left a comment earlier, but don't see it. I came back because I wanted to tell you I featured you and your coffee maker last week when you were gone. Here is the link in case you want to see it:

    I'll try to remember what I wrote before. Hope you got a good new car. I've never heard of a chaffinch before, but it is beautiful. And I love your spring flowers.

    What a clever way to set up a BBQ. And I see you have used your Groiche Moka Express outside, too. Thanks for sharing your art and your coffee pot with us for T this week, dear.
