Hello. look what a friend introduced me to! We were talking about conservation areas, our dogs, just catching up … When I was shown a picture of the family dogs, I noticed her backyard was different from what I know to be backyards here where I live. Oh, yes, we are in the “high desert” she said, that is the Garden of the Gods you see in the background. Then she sent me the link to the web page for the Nature Park. Colorado! I have seen pictures in the past taken when other friends have holidayed there… however.. let me tell you… I book marked the page, and I will be going back to look at the stunning vistas again.

How easy it is to forget that there is so much in life to be explore and experienced. I would love to experience actually seeing those beautiful animals myself. Or taking in what looks like crisp dry air. I love my four seasons here in Canada, but that park sure looks like it would be fascinating to explore.

Treasure those fleeting inspirations. The time to seize an opportunity is when you first notice it. Good timing is crucial to working efficiently.

moderation

Do things in moderation. Whenever you overdo something, you will lose balance in your life. Express yourself appropriately without being overly attached or detached.

For Thursday doors I thought to bring you two very different buildings. Not only in purpose but detail, yet.. in some ways they are similar. Both doors lead to structures that house very different purposes. Same applies to people, we all look different, yet, we are all the same, our outer expression is different. But we all have hopes and dreams, we love, we cry, we feel loneliness, and we rejoice in happiness while feeling the pain of loss when around us there is chaos.

Have a great day everyone!

Bom dia, Bonjour!

Face each moment, each place with a fresh outlook. If you handle a situation with preconceived notions or prejudices, your judgement will be clouded Take on each situation with a blank slate, as if seeing it for the first time.

Your Path will open up if you let go. Your heart is weakened when you are swayed too easily by money, things and reputation. If you can let go of these things, you will be able to truly express yourself.

nb* Thanksgiving Service on 21st. 10:a.m. and 7 pm

Have a great start to a new week!

how we perceive

When you look what do you see? When you listen what do you hear?

You can learn from anyone. There is a limitation to your own knowledge and experience, Listen carefully and sincerely to others’ opinions,
Perfect Liberty 2015.18

Have you been rushing around trying to get things done? Are you constantly on the go? Let’s take a moment to sit together, come on, you are at having a moment to look over incoming missives.. let’s just sit together for a moment. I’ll close my eyes, you close yours.. take a deep breath.. and just let this moment BE .. slowly exhale, and wait .. count to 10 may be even 15 till you open up your peepers again.

Big smile.. did you feel the quiet envelope you. It s a feel good moment, just for you.

Share a smile with someone today, no reason,, just because…

aren’t they cute, their lives are just beginning.

They won’t be encumbered by the constant chatter of “noise” that we humans contend with in our daily lives, but they will have their own share of “dangers” - Carry goodwill to all, in all you say and do.. always.

2024.2

Good morning,, remember this little guy, he came by like clockwork during the feedings late summer and into the fall. He would gather up all the peanuts he could and would scurry across the parking lot, way across into the trees in the distance. Now of course, he and his mates are “in” for the winter. When I’m feeding the morning diners now,,,. it is the red squirrels that are gathering, chattering and nattering at each other.. what a noisy crew.

With the dip in the weather again, the other day I had to have had two dozen or more Blue Jays raining down on me when I finally arrived with breakfast. This sound of that many flapping feathers zooming past me and around me, is rather “addictive” once you used to it. They actually dive bomb, with precision. It is something…. they come from all sides and angles, never an accident … I wonder if they have a way of communicating .. or is it, the fasted one to the target is the winner.

The lay out of the other Feeding area is of course different, so the jays there have a different method. What is truly amazing to me at this location is that some watch from perches really high up in the taller trees … The jays at the second location are also .. I think a tad smaller. For me its like being in Grand Central Station watching the events unfold from all directions, and at various level. The red squirrels can lead a merry chase,,, while the Jays zoom in with a purpose, the little reds chase each other while carrying on a verbal barrage of scolding and warnings… that go unheeded by the bigger black and silver fox coloured squirrels.

Meanwhile if I get to serve up the meals properly the woodpeckers and the smaller birds blissfully go about enjoying their breakfast while the ground activity bustles on. Didn’t see the Merlin the last couple of days, maybe he’s found a quieter patch. I have a rogue Raven who has been patrolling the area… and he is very vocal…

Today’s message … PL 2022.2

Discover Each Person’s Unique Qualities. When we approach people with respect, we can understand them better and see their special qualities.

It’s cold, bundle up. Have a great day whatever you get up to.

let’s share

A friend baked these in 2020.. I just look at the picture and my mouth waters. I kept the picture because seeing the bread never fails to give me a moment of quiet reflection. The smell of freshly baked bread is such a warm delicious comfort… Might have to stop for a toasted bagel on my way out… yes, good idea..

I listened to a podcast last night, about today’s food, what we purchase at the “store” .. how food has changed since before every home had a refrigerator. When we ate freshly grown vegetables and what was in season. My friend that baked the bread.. is always making something from veggies she has grown in her small garden patch or acquired from market that day. I admire that .. yet… it is just not something I do.

We are all unique and different in how we “live” that is what makes the world such an interesting place … I learned from her about how olive oils are not all the same, and one day at breakfast … she brought out a bottle of oil made at their home in Greece, from olives grown on their land, and bottled there. What a treat!

I am very grateful that I have been blessed with a number of diverse friendships… learning about different ways to enjoy life is “priceless”… Friendships are one of life’s most precious gifts.

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,

hideaway

You need a place to unwind, to get away, change of pace, you have a choice, where would you go ,, ie, my car yesterday decided that it was in danger, it put itself in anti-theft mode. Go figure. I’m in the middle of the woods, no one around.. it was perfectly safe. I was back and forth to it every few minutes filling up bird feeders. I was using the doors, (side) to get at peanuts, sunflower seeds, the boot was open, that is where the bird seed and corn is, and the suet balls/ cakes, 3/4 of an hour later, I close the doors get in to drive away and “she” goes ballistic. Little alarms go off, the dashboard lights up, anti theft mode, the symbol of two locks appears.. the battery did “NOTHING” but make time bomb sounds, tick tick tick. I try again, dinNata, zip… nothing, I could only stare in disbelief,

Suffice to say, I had a “busy” day. It is cold in the early morning, I had gotten to the conservation parking area around 7:30 a.m. The tow truck arrived at 11:44 a.m. I will spare you the gory details of my adventure, but when finally I got to “review” my day,,.. I thought of where I would like to be for a bit of a HOLIDAY, getaway,, The top picture is of a place that was discovered during my last trip to the Ompah part of Ontario. A roaring fireplace, someone to tend it of course (not moi) … a small supply of easy to heat and serve dumplings, maybe dry garlic scallops, a nice tossed salad in the fridge, lots of ice.. (for my coffee of course)… mellow music .. or maybe just the sound of the crackling fire… Yeah… Nice. What about you.. ? Do you have a hide-away?
