spring

Spring flowers appearing bringing a burst of colour to otherwise gray skies. The “boys” in the woodlands, showing off for me… I wanted to show you the beautiful heart the male has on his head. It really shows up during mating season. They had their breakfast and were leaving… I caught them going over the fence and called out…” stop.. want to grab a picture.”. the darlings obliged by staying still long enough for me to grab the picture. Aren’t they handsome!

Forest maintenance .. the brush gets too high, scrub trees grow, interfere with hydro lines… this is the time of year that crews come along and clear..

I asked why ….this time of year, …reply.. so that the brush is cleared away before birds come along and build nests. It does open up the area along the side of the road…. for sure it changes the whole look… I will be interested in seeing how it will fill in once the foliage begins to grow.

Meanwhile, I get to gather odds and ends of wood left behind by the crew.. not sure why some wood is taken and some is left behind. Finding odd pieces, I can let them dry, then sculpt them. Just have to find where my carving knives are, they were put a way in a safe place… meaning.. I put them away and can’t find them.

If you face a situation head on, a path will open up.

No matter how hard the situation is, face it head on. If you approach it seriously, you will be able to find a way to break through. PL2014.26

Have a great day everyone!

Till soon.

celebrations

Pictures taken in Crete, where they are celebrating Xronia Polla (“many years” heard in Greece around Christmas, New Year’s at Easter, etc)

Value your intuition

When you suddenly have an “a-ha” moment, or when a thought pops into your mind, it is God/Universe sending you a message. As soon as you notice something, you should act upon it right away.

We are all celebrating the week-end in our own way – whatever you are up to, enjoy being YOU. Because, YOU are unique!

Smile

A cheerful smile and expression makes everyone around you happy.

When you do everything with a smile, not only you but the people around you will feel good. Always remember to put on a happy face. (PL2014.15)

shrouded

Shrouded in mist… another day begins.

We all have different ways of feeling and thinking. Let’s always accept others’ differences and respect one another. It is important to do our best to have harmonious relationships with everyone around us.

como vai?

Skies are blue, clouds are big and puffy. spring is in the air.. the season is changing… pollen is mixed with mould, it looks clean and fresh… BUT be aware, with the thawing of all that snow we had over the winter, the birds may be happily nesting … singing up a storm… but for the human with allergies… stock up on tissues. It will be a challenging few weeks till the ground warms up …

Your surroundings reflect your state of mind. Everything that appears before you is a reflection of your state of mind. If you work to improve your mind and actions, then what appears in the mirror will also be well balanced.

a memory

of a gentler time. Yes there were none (or few) of the electronics we have today. Life often involved a lot of time outdoors, hard work, and a dedication to planting, and eating food that was locally grown. I have been eating local meat organically grown, grass fed etc. what a difference in taste and texture !!!

Put your effort into the “now” You can only do your absolute best right this moment; not in the past, not in the future, but now.

a new day

If you smile more, there will be more smiles in the World. Be one of those who makes more smiles. Smiles are the World’s treasures. PL2023.26

Have a grand day everyone. Nancy Sinatra used to say, “these boots are made for walking”. .”away we go” (Jackie Gleason)

Till soon.

como vai?

Wishing you the best of everything… have a great day!

decisions

My two handsome brutes are back… they are out for a morning stroll, looking to see who else is around. I was overjoyed when we met up. They remembered me and came to say hello.. ask me if I was “over the moon”.

My other wonderful find this week was a surprise I got when I went into the ladies at the church. Yoshiko was in Japan recently to bring Zak, Ashley and Alex to Canada ( their school break) so they could see first hand where their parents are living .. not much of winter left, but they did get to see snow.. you can see it is still around here.

Ta Da!!!! a toilet seat cover.. ingenious… seems they use them in Japan, not because of the cold, but the heat!!!!! Who knew!

Life is full of wonderful moments. Isn’t it.

A friend took me around to show me his creative endeavours, he is a huge Prince fan, he has built a museum, nightclub and picture gallery in Second Life to showcase the artists work. This has been done over the years, and introduced me to a singer I knew little of. Artists who work with the software and technology of the gaming world add a whole new dimension to the every day world ..

A thankful heart leads to happiness

When we really pay attention, we are surrounded by many things we can be thankful for; the society we live in, the kindness shown to us by others. You will be able to find true happiness when you can see and appreciate these things.

I would like to say Thank YOU from the bottom of my heart to all who have written me over the years telling me how much you enjoy this blog and the philosophy shared. The other day I found a section in the format that had stored many many wonderful comments and feedback that for whatever reason, I did not see, or even know were there. I responded . finally.. some were over a year plus old. I apologize.

Thursday

The snow is melting, yesterday I took the shovel to the big dump of snow on my deck it had been almost shoulder high, … the milder temperatures had me facing a pile of snow only about knee deep. I did clear some, I was (smart) enough to stop when I got tired. If it is mild again today and there is a bit of rain, it should rid me of what is left on the deck. I can put out my lay back and sun chair. Early spring is the best… too cool for most to be out, but I love it, especially when the sun is out. Yesterday my companion was the male cardinal, he was singing away… he is a romantic, he courts his female.=^_^=

Live today filled with enthusiasm

Life is an accumulation of the efforts you make, day by day. Live keeping in mind that “today” only comes once and live your precious life to the fullest.

Happy first day of Spring.
