Mother Nature hit her funny bone, Our new minister and his wife arrived from Japan the last week in March. Canada can have “interesting” winters, this last one for us was on the mild side, with less snow than we have had in years.. So guess what was dropped on us yesterday and into today. Some areas have received more snow than others. And add to the mix, the temperature has been dropping, today will be colder than yesterday. This is all ok for seasoned Canadians.. imagine the joy of experiencing this cold blustery weather hiccup .. if you are new…and didn’t come with a winter wardrobe.

A fresh snow fall is refreshing and beautiful. When we are going through one of our very hot humid summer days, we can recall the invigorating freshness of a blast of winter. Love living in a country with 4 distinct seasons!!

I have seen a lot of robins of late… they are busy picking out worms.. the red wing blackbirds had a new friend hanging out with them yesterday.

Thurs. doors

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.

I did this wood burning experiment around the time I found the old barn and doors in the other pictures. i know I posted using this picture yesterday but wanted to include it for today’s Thursday Door feature. For more pictures of doors, please visit Dan’s No Facilities site https://nofacilities.com/2024/03/28/fish-fry-doors/

Wednesday

my attempt at wood burning… on the left is a sculpture in mixed media (garden elf) done for the outside,

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.

The elf lasted almost 20 years outdoors in the elements, the wood burning barn, I have no idea where it is now. Life is…

art of silence

The shortcut to progress is to listen with a humble mind. If you are stuck in your own ways you will eventually become bogged down. Let’s remember to be humble, learning what we can from the knowledge, advice and suggestions of others.

Strong emotions can be the cause of various troubles. Strive to maintain a calm state of mind.

Tune in

Be in tune with the feelings of others. Let’s start by trying to understand other peoples’ feelings.

Out for the day, exploring, sometimes we agree, sometimes there is a decision to be made. How we handle the moment, is important, Sometimes we have to step back, and rethink the moment.

There is always a solution. Always believe that there is a solution to any problem that comes your way, and work with conviction to solve it.

Take on any task with earnest enthusiasm and it will become interesting. No matter what it is, if you really get into it, you will be able to find joy in doing it. The important point is to put your whole heart into what you are doing.

Every morning I visit this tree.. and each morning I see signs it is enjoying the balmy weather and the brighter sunshine, The other morning it was full of chattering birds, The happy chatter filled the air with enthusiasm and brought smiles to everyone around.

Bom final de semana pra todo nos. Bom dia amiga qurida.

Hola, buenos dias – Have a great day.

Attendez un instant. Wait does it matter what language ….NO… smile.. greet the day knowing it is going to be a GREAT Day! Why? Because, you are part of it… Share your smile.. pass the good cheer along! Smiles are non verbal, and speak volumes.

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.
