Time was
Time was when this was bright and new.
when new it would not have held the same fascination as it does now
While no longer as it was, this fence still stands firmly locked in place. Its purpose has not changed with age. I have loved this place for years, finally the other day, I pulled over and visited.
I suspect it was provincially owned, I have never been there before, yet when I walked around to the back, I felt at peace, the traffic noises drifted away, the moment was pure zen.
This is my idea of a secret garden. =^_^= Find your peace today.
Reminder tomorrow’s Ancestor’s day service is at 10:a.m. Tuesday, June 11.

chop suey Friday
Sticks and stones, rocks, brick, lumber, everything in life, is canvas ready. each day a new beginning. Art is everywhere. To each his/her own….. creativity begins within.
I remember when I began landscaping in earnest, I would pick up driftwood, rocks cast off metal objects, an empty lot was a huge canvas .. one that would grow and give me a new “view” every season and year.
PL Precept #1 – life is art
Make every day count. Share your beautiful/handsome smile today, Life is good!!

Thursday doors
Thursday doors, today the flavour is from Perth, Ontario. A quiet, picturesque little town about an hours drive from Ottawa.
PL calendar day 6 Past,, present or future, always remember to be sincere and honest. At any time, the place where you are standing at that moment is the stage upon which you must express yourself. At each moment in time there is sure to be a way to express yourself in relation your your position or status.

working and living
Working and living =^_^= go together – living in the NOW means you are interacting and being present all day, whether it is work or play, you are involved. by putting your best into all you do, the experience is uniquely yours. What ever you do today, enjoy it. Yes, really… do your best.
PL calendar day 4 – Follow your heart while also thinking about the happiness of others.
Junho 4, Pense em felicitar a si e aos outros, sendo honesto consigo.

orphans
What to do, they all can’t come home with me. If you are an avid landscaper, flowers, trees and shrubs, you know, how cute and lovely they are when you bring them home, they will grow and spread out. There has to be an awareness of the long range “presentation” or you will be in for a rude awakening when they grow up if you have not allowed for their maturing.
Same applies in life with anything that you bring home that has life of its own. It lives, breathes and develops, just like you do. Even under the same skies, latitude and longitude, nothing will be seen or experienced the same way. Life is multi dimensional, the only constant is change.
Accept, Appreciate, all that is in your life. today is NOW, worrying about yesterday or tomorrow, takes away from NOW.
PL precept #18 each moment is a turning point

Sunday morning
Mixed media…. then.. (found in a thrift shop) bigger white canvas, and the small one is a demo I did to show the use of acrylics, inks, stamps and colours available today. The contrast appealed to me yesterday. My intention is to recycle the white canvas. Stay tuned.
PL Principle #3 will live with a mind of appreciation towards others and things
I have a huge appreciation for the work that went into doing the big white canvas, it was actually one of 3 pieces. the middle piece was hexagon and bigger and wider. Must have made a wonderful wall piece.
PL Precept # 1 All things progress and develop.
Hit your stride, get out there and enjoy the day. Love is everywhere, smile and share.

PL calendar day 30
Your surroundings are a mirror of your thoughts
When you think “this is going to be hard” then your situation will become difficult Instead think,” Let’s do this!” and face your situation with determination. Then you will be surprised to see how smoothly things will go.
