I visited Sydney's Chinese garden recently. As it's in winter, trees lost a lot of leaves. This one is from the end of autumn. Full of leaves and sun coming through.

This year my Oregon Grape cultivar 'Charity' gave me a wonderful surprise. It produced grapes, after several years with none. I had assumed that I would enjoy it for its awesome yellow candelabra flowers alone, which cheered me up each year in the depths of winter. Surprise! This year it produced beautiful but sour grapes in abundance. :)

 

"My extravagance is my garden - it's the first thing that I look at every morning when I wake up. It gives me so much pleasure."

Yes

That's the question

 

I'm being a bit Shakespearian this evening

 

I found the perfect house, it might need some decorating and cleaning up tho, but that's ok

 

Sometimes I really think that hibernating must be pretty nice

 

You set your life on hold

You can pause a bit

Think and Dwell

Check if this addiction is ruling your life

 

But

Perhaps thinking isn't always the answer

Sometimes it gets all messed up if you think too much

Sometimes you are supposed to just float along

 

But

It surely isn't always easy

All these thoughts

You are worried

You are left out

You are too far away

You can't do so much about anything

 

But you care

 

I guess

You just need the time to go

Or

Letting him go

 

Either the addiction goes away or not

God knows

I don't

Sadness can not blow away the spring....... I will never be cheerful again as long as Russia wages this heinous war against the people of Ukraine.

  

Spring in Bloom. HBM

Have a great week.

The European rabbit is a genus of the hares and rabbits family. It is the only species in the genus Oryctolagus. The lagomorphs still have 2 small teeth behind their upper incisors, the pin teeth, the lower teeth wear against this. Rodents do not have these extra teeth. So contrary to popular belief…..a rabbit is not a rodent !!

Dunrobin Castle is the most northerly of Scotland's great houses and the largest in the Northern Highlands with 189 rooms. Dunrobin Castle is also one of Britain's oldest continuously inhabited houses dating back to the early 1300s, home to the Earls and later, the Dukes of Sutherland. The Castle, which resembles a French château with its towering conical spires, has seen the architectural influences of Sir Charles Barry, who designed London’s Houses of Parliament.

Longing Melody - Where to belong

Sometimes all we need is the sound of the waves, the song of birds, the scent of the sea salt mixing with spring bloom and a wind to stoke out cheeks lovingly. Just (be)longing.
