My strawberry plant has been painted with autumnal colours
A joy in my garden
To plant a garden is to believe in tomorrow.

Shades of Green
Green is the colour of nature.
The colour of Mother Nature
The colour of Life and energy.
It symbolizes growth, harmony, freshness, and fertility.
Green has strong emotional correspondence with safety.
Dark green is also commonly associated with money.
…. just look at these different greens….
so many shades
and many different shapes and textures.
Green is relaxing for me, it feels warm, yet fresh.
However I do not have many outfits in green.
Do you love green?
What is your favourite colour?

Simply Red
The way you start your day
can affect your whole day…
Begin it with a smile
calmness of mind
coolness of emotions
and a heart filled with gratitude.
Take time to smell the flowers
Take time to hug a tree
Take time to hear each bird sing
Take time to simply be.
We might miss some of the beauty on life
if we don’t slow down
and pay attention to the little things around us.
Start your day with the beauty of red today!
Different shapes,
different shades,
all unique,
all beautiful!
Just like you!

My new bicycle
As I love riding a bicycle, I found a new one I really liked.
More like a Dutch style bicycle.
This is a big frame, big wheels and it is very comfortable, to get on too.
(more like the bike I had which was stolen 3 years ago.)
After that I bought a folding bike to keep at home.
Now I have a place in a bike hanger, close to my house, so I could get myself a bigger bike again.
The folding bike found a loving new home too.
Direct from the dealer I rode it home on the scenic route along the river.
It was a lovely day and perfect for a ride, just glorious.
It is called ‘cafe’ – I like that 🙂
I bought myself a basket for the front too for little shopping.
Now I can go to many more rides and enjoy the sunshine and outdoors.
Do you ride a bicycle ? and enjoy it ?
Enjoy the little beauties along the road, walking or cycling,
nature calls, go for it!

Strawberry Galore
My strawberries this year grew absolutely beautiful.
They bloomed a lot:
We seem to have had enough rain
and then the sun came.
I had more strawberries than ever.
Just look
A collage out of my many harvests.
and then came out the
Strawberry bowl to eat them out of.
Oh how yummy they were.
There are still now some late comers, I eat straight of the plant.
What a joy, what great gift!

Woodland Walk Inspiration
Recently I went for a Woodland Walk in my area.
A tranquil place where the council encourages wild flowers to grow.
I saw many beautiful flowers in all different colours.
How this earth really laughs in flowers.
just as Ralph Waldo Emerson says.
