It's a pleasure to be joining in with all the other Me On Monday-ers, thanks to Sian's great inspiration at From High In The Sky. At the end of her post, Sian lists last week's fellow-posters, so do have a peek and see how Mondays are different (or the same!) across the world ...
This weekend? Well, we've had rather a lot of this ...
... which up close looked like this:
But just before the rain and mist descended, it was a quick-get-the-pruning-and-painting-done, book-hunting with Dad, and a how-many-events-can-I-see-in-forty-five minutes kind of a weekend ...
And if you're a mixed media type of gal or guy, and have a spare few minutes, then do pop in here and here to see how prize-winning Rob Wilson does it ... (And it's not even his day job.)
And the week ahead? Since part of the Me On Monday tradition is to show (a bit of) oneself, I'm hoping you won't mind Himself sneaking into the selfie frame too - for tomorrow will be our thirty-sixth wedding anniversary, and so much of what I do and create would simply not be possible without this lovely man ...
Later in the week, there'll be his birthday to celebrate too, and a heap of preparations for the impending visit of our wonderful Littlies and Biggies :). So that's me, this Monday: how's yours looking? Sending you all warmest regards ...
Happy Monday. Slow and rainy over here giving me a chance to do some catching up. Hope you're well.

I must thank you Alexa, for that introduction to Rob Wilson. Fantastic. I loved that he sewed on a sewing pattern. I hope you enjoy your celebrations with your 'media naranja' and family. Enjoy.

Y'all have had a cold, wet summer - maybe that bodes well for having a warm, dry winter?! Love seeing you both at the end - and happy anniversary! Celebrate BIG!

Happy Happy Anniversary! That's such a lovely picture I feel like it deserves an extra large wave! And I do like your crop of your other pictures: they really do offer a "slice of life". Have a great, celebratory week Alexa.

Happy Monday Alexa! Love the pic of you & Himself. You look so happy together. Happy Anniversary and enjoy the celebrations! Thanks for the intro to Rob Wilson - clearly mixed media SHOULD be his day job, his creations are fantastic. And watching him create just made me itch to go play myself!

Wow, congratulations on your anniversary! Lovely to get a peak at your other half. We've had it wet here too, but you'd expect that being winter. I hope you get some lovely summer weather soon.

Congratulations on 36 years! That's a fabulous photo of the two of you. You look so happy & relaxed . . . despite all that rain! LOL It's simply dry & HOT here now, so I'm hibernating in my happy craft room for the month of August. :)Have a great month!

Reading through very late but I hope the Anniversary and Birthday were happy and well celebrated. The visit from Littles and Bigs sounds fun and joyful - I hope it was.
