Garden Update

Standard

We still have lots of rain.

The ground is saturated.

Yet some signs of Spring are here.

Crocus

I love it when nature awakes

Tulips
Snowdrops
My peony is coming
These are Bluebells

Some of my Camelia are open


Where flowers bloom,
so does hope.

A Rainy Day

Standard

Rain brings even more beauty to our garden.

Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain.

It is calming and soothing.

Beautiful nature

The fragrance of flowers 
spreads only in the direction of the wind.
But the goodness of a person 
spreads in all directions
~ Chanakya ~
Shower your soul with sunshine and smiles
 and your heart will blossom with love
 for miles and miles. 
~ Melanie Moushigian Koulouris ~
Remember
rain will always stop.
After the rain 
the sun will reappear.
There is life.
After the pain,
the joy will still be here.
A great attitude becomes a great day 
which becomes a great month 
which becomes a great year 
which becomes a great life.
~ Mandy Hale ~

It finally rained!

My new Mimosa plant is very sensitive

yet she didn’t close up with the raindrops.

Yes, it is a she I call her Mimi. 🙂

Food for thought

When you stop expecting people to be perfect, 
you can like them for who they are.

Storm and Rain

Standard

Our Sunday

as you might have heard in the news

was extremely stormy as Ciara swept through.

There was so much rain with it,

hitting the windows.

The garden needs a good tidy up now,

as ornaments fell off,

some pots tipped, some broken,

the bench cover flew off,

I managed to get it in time to take inside.

The cat didn’t even attempt to go out.

Once the rain and storm dies down I shall rescue everything.

Still the small little flowers braved it all and stand proudly in the pot.

 

You have to stand firm,

Like a mountain…

If you want to achieve,

Your goals…

No matter what comes,

Face it…

A rainy day is the perfect time for a walk in the woods – Rachel Carsen

 

Rain leaves beautiful ‘diamonds’ on leaves.

Beautiful Rain

Standard

It is recently sunny and we all love sunshine.

However rain can be beautiful too.

It makes everything fresh,

gives life

and rain drops look amazing

hanging on plant leaves.

 

Sunshine is delicious,

rain is refreshing,

wind braces us up,

snow is exhilarating:

there is really no such thing as bad weather,

only different kinds of good weather.

Frost and Rain Flowers

Standard

During my visit in Germany now in February

it was cold and frosty.

I took pictures of the frosty flowers in the morning.

I love the frost on the leaves, looked like little crystals.

Then the rained…

It creates a different effect on flowers, rather beautiful

when you look closely.

How those raindrops stick to the plant,

before they get to heavy and drop.

So lovely to see yellow in Winter,

they brighten up the season.

Keep warm and enjoy the beauty!
