{1st Spring Flowers in our Garden}

We are having quite a late spring for 2011 but the first bulbs are blooming now in our garden!

Lovely Crocus

Seemingly shy, these crocus look into the world. A good week ago they got heavy rains pounding down onto them...

But today the sun was out!

Sun rays shining upon crocus flowers

Galanthus blossoms were nodding their heads in the wind; I had to wait for them to stop bobbing... 

It was a special Saturday; a beautiful sunny day and it was Mom's 87th birthday. 

Skype established the connection with the Old World, so we could congratulate her.

{100 COUNTRIES VISITED MY BLOG}

Well, for this Valentine's weekend, this is a very special milestone reached!

100 countries today and blog # 214.

Google Analytics tells me that since April 02, 2010 there were 51,838 Pageviews. That is quite a lot higher than my last writing on October 1, 2010 with {Blog # 100 and viewed in 65 countries} ← click it.

A total of 11,635 visits originating from 100 countries... The darker the green, the higher the number of visitors from that particular country.

As a kid I LOVED geography and while we were helping Mom & Dad in the greenhouses, picking tomatoes and such, Dad always played games with us. He would ask us to name the capital cities of numerous countries. We had to reply fast too. He loved it and it's obvious, he's rubbed off this interest on me as well. Pieter and I have worked in all continents but of course we've by far not visited all countries! But we have probably flown over most of them! Wherever we've not been, through the World Wide Web we do connect now...

To my loyal readers world wide; thank you so much for all your visits!

Wishing you a Happy Valentine's Day.
