Picture of the Week #28

My Hosta blooms. 🙂 Isn’t it lovely ?

I bought it in Hyde Hall!

See my last post about Hyde Hall.

Food for thought

May you always have
the sun on your face
And a dry path to walk.
May the stars fill your eyes
And the moon light
The way to your door.
May you know
Peace in your dreams
And love in your heart.

Picture of the Week #14

We are staying with fireplaces this week,

as we found another beautiful fireplace in another room,

hidden behind a 50’s wooden board.

before and after

After cleaning and repainting, it will look great.

It is so much fun to discover new things and to restore them.

Food for thought

Most of the things you see, touch, and use today
were thought to be impossible as little as 10-20 years ago.
"Impossible" usually only means
"hasn't been done... " yet.

This one started to bloom……. with all this rain and wind we are having at the moment.

Picture of the Week #10

Today a picture of my new garden.

Blooming already with beautiful Camellias.

This one is specially beautiful with the shape of its’ petals.

Food for thought

Say only what you mean.
Avoid using the word to speak against yourself
or to gossip.
Use the power of your word 
in the direction of truth and love.

Busy

Seen in Kew Gardens

Just breathe, 
think less, 
love more, 
share often 
and smile always!

Wishing all a wonderful not so busy weekend!

It is getting warmer

After a cold May with rain, hail, storms and the odd ray of sunshine

the weather realises that is is nearly June and needs to be warmer.

For the last 2 days it has been warmer and

flowers, bushes all really start to bloom.

I love it.

Lilac is in full bloom and smelling amazing.

These are my amazing finds during a walk in a park.

Can you smell that amazing Lilac?

Cornflowers

In March, before the virus,

I bought a bucket of soil and cornflower seeds from the supermarket,

as I like to grow things.

I was watching it carefully,

watering it on hot days.

It was growing nicely until June where it started to bloom,

and I could find blue flowers on it.

… and not just blue but also pink came along, how beautiful!

I enjoyed those Cornflowers every step on their way

to the full bloom in very vibrant colours.

Thank you for making my garden more colourful!

 

Thank you little plant!

This little plant is standing next to my computer screen.

I received it as a get well present last year in October.

It was in full bloom then.

I nurtured it and loved it even when only green.

Now as a thank you for June just ready for my Birthday

it gives me more blooms.

 

 ♥ Thank you my little flower ♥

 

 

 

My garden

My loyal primula is open again

showing it’s love and

giving me so much joy!

 

 

 

Last year it bloomed:

2016 it bloomed

 

This year however, it is even more colourful , vibrant and greener than ever!

I am grateful for its’ beauty and enjoy it every day!

 

It is going to be a good year!

Stay strong

Over the years I have enjoyed my loyal Primula in a pot in my garden.

Every year it is the first plant to bloom.

This picture is from 30th March 2016

That plant is going through all type of weather, recently snow, winds, heavy rain …

it is quite old and yet

it keeps blooming, giving me joy.

It has now ( 30th March 2018) even more flowers.

It stays strong through it all.

We need to be strong too, when we go through rough patches,

and keep on blooming.

We are stronger than we think and like the flower,

we can get through it !

Have a strong and blooming day! 

My Pride and Joy

I have had this Maracuja or Passion fruit plant for about  year now

raised from a cutting,

and I found this in the morning.

There is another bud on the top too…. so exciting

What an awesome discovery!

Wishing you all an awesome Sunday!
