A Happy Easter...to you all....

Five Years Ago...

Five Years Ago...I started my blog journey in a winter wonderland.....and  five years later I'm still traveling..

And now again like in 2008 Spring is late .......

 Much has happened on the Hilltop...and I want to thank YOU my dear reader and friend for visiting me..and being there...through five years of Hilltop History...

To all the wonderful little lights...that illuminate my path....I adore you!

Stay warm.stay happy..and stay shiny...

Hope to celebrate with you again next year..

IIIIIIIIIITS MONDAY.

So transform yourself....eh....maybe the other way round...!

 O dear....right in the middle of a muddle....

                             
                               ...Today I wish I were twins...

 

 

Touch down...

Touch down..meaning... to come in contact with the ground...!!
And that;s what  I need to do this weekend...Do you know the feeling when you are rushing  through your daily life and see yourself fly by..and you can hardly keep up with yourself...

This weekend I'm going to  just sit  for a while...listen to some music...and feel the sunshine coming through the window...just me myself and I...

Happy weekend to you all out there on this ever turning globe...xoxo

                                                                Typical Dutch...

Though associated the world over with the Netherlands, today wooden shoes, or "klompen," are manufactured and worn by the Dutch mainly for the benefit of tourists.

Dutch clogs or "klompen" originated in antiquity, from the shoes worn by European peasants during Roman times. These were known as "galoce ".



..My husband is still wearing clogs...and now even in Holland people find this a little silly...:)

Happy weekend out there...:)

Wandering Star..

When you are planning to go out and catch a wandering star..I can recommend you do this by bed..a wonderful and comfortable way to transport yourself into the nightly sky...really, one can do this..believe me..

The name planet comes from Greek, meaning "wanderer", as ancient astronomers saw how certain lights moved across the sky in relation to the other stars. They called these objects asteres planetai, or wandering stars.

Promisse...

There was a little gathering ....Promisse...asked a little fairy...promisse, that you will protect every spring chicken in this garden...

 Whatever its size or color...

 

It takes a village to raise a child...

Let the party begin...

..and the most wonderful thing is..we are all invited..


Primavera

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIts Monday..

.

Don't be grumpy.....:)

On the playlist..Why Grumpy..You do care...

Looking back...

Looking back on winter...and being grateful because it was a good one...with lots of snow ..and lots of friends on the Internet..Snow bound..snug in our warm houses...and still talking and keeping in touch with each other through this magical machine called computer..But now my dear friend and reader....You can find me outside...shall I take my tablet with me..or my laptop.. my cell phone...my playbook...my Ipad...?

Or shall I go without ....We could still connect ..I'm sure...you are my kindred spirit...

 

Go out and meet March..

Have a wonderful weekend.
