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.

Now is always the start of something new

Leave the past in the past. What is important is “what you are going to do now.” Using the present as a starting point, move forward on a path towards improvement and progress.

Stop

Have a seat – sit a spell

Value those who are nearest you. It is especially easy to overlook how wonderful your spouse/family members /friends really are. Always remember to respect and value one another.

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!

Spring

Took a walk down that road you see on the right, it is blocked to traffic only vehicles are the researchers when they come to the bog… and head for the research buildings to check their equipment. Rain was forecast, but you can see where I was… the skies were still blue.

Middle picture was taken at Lime kiln “park”… this is a long trail that starts off at one end of the city and goes a long way across land, you can hike right through to a different parking area.

The picture on the left, you would have seen versions of it last spring and the spring before that, I love that little stretch of woodland… in the spring the ground is soaked with ground water and melting snow.

The pictures are silent, but believe me the whole time I am out, the birds are singing up a storm and flying overhead. In a short time, the outdoors will be a challenge if you are not one who likes being attacked by flying insects/mosquitoes … for people with allergies, the pollen and the mould spores… are irritating – but – aside from that… there is anticipation in the air.. Its exhilarating

Be creative in your efforts.. If something is not going well, take a step back and look at how you are taking the problem. there is sure to be something you can improve on.

Even if you have done it many times before,

put your whole heart into everything you do,

even if it’s something as simple as pushing a button.

…Believe …

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.

Thursday

Whether coming or going, at home or 1000s miles away, There is no escaping, who you are, or what is happening in your “head”. We cannot always be where we want to be, or be with someone we want to be with. But.. always you are stuck dealing with the ramblings and thoughts that wander in and out of your “active” mind. Someone once said to me ” I wish I was on a holiday somewhere” I asked “why?” The reply I got was “so I don’t have to deal with all this “crap” “..”won’t it be here when you come back” I asked. “Yes! but I will have had time away from it all”

Sound familiar? ever have such thoughts? Ever try that? go away… take a break … when you come back is it easier to deal with?

For myself, if something is bothering me, I deal with it. I face it, deal with it, and then “let it go!” One blogger friend, I read took a solo trip … exploring this wonderful part of State that had amazing landscapes… I very much enjoyed her pictures, her adventure… that was a breath of fresh air … I didn’t have to deal with packing, unpacking, crossing state/provincial borders, dust, heat, strange sleeping arrangements. Guess I’m getting set in my ways… hmmm you think!

Willingly take on tasks that are behind the scenes

Be the one who is able to proactively take on the troublesome tasks that no one likes and for which they are not recognized. By doing so, you will be filled with a genuine feeling of accomplishment.

Life is full of surprises, some are happier experiences than others, but part of the journey is discovering new possibilities when we least expect it… I am winding down from the “need” to get a new car when it was not in my plans, or something I wanted to do.. I took my 2019 for her last drive to our haunts in the country, I loved that car,, she was my companion ..my comfortable place to be when the road got bumpy, I hope she will be happy where-ever she lands.

Everything in life happens for a reason, no matter the season… your life is what it is…. Sh#t happens, when we have been around long enough, we know… the only way out, is to focus on the road ahead and keep moving. It is all about the journey.

Love a four letter word that defies any one definition

**no matter where you are, if you have a problem that won’t go away, distancing yourself physically, will not erase that “problem” from your gray cells. You will carry it with you…it will shadow you where-ever you are.

mid week

Passing through the mist. The surrounding landscapes take on a quiet mysterious mantle that softly engulfs all your senses. You are enraptured, totally captured in the moment.

Always think that everything will work out

When you allow yourself to be pessimistic, your thoughts and actions become sluggish. Approach everything optimistically without hesitating..

Actions speak louder than words

Thank you everyone for your wellness wishes. It was a few rough days… but hey! it was then, today is today… we move on Cancelling all my appointments for the week… that in itself was an eye opener. I am supposed to be retired, why am I so busy… at one time I could turn to my p.a. and ask “why do I have meetings every day”.. why do I have to attend… bla bla bla… NOW I see… I am to blame… I do it to myself, AAAGGGHHH

konnichi wa

Yup. took one look out the window saw the snow covered branches, the whole backyard is a white blur. Seems we are in the middle of a weather hiccup. Overnight it was a total down pouring of what was left of the snow clouds… It seems we are to have a cloudy overcast day, while the weather artist mixes up a batch of ice pellets, rain, and then as the temperatures drop again, some kind of snow/ice offering, so Mother Nature can empty a couple more of her miscellaneous storm buckets over the area.

Not likely that I will see the short clad joggers out today, or the sweatpants and hoodie)s) out running errands. Was thinking I’d do something really different today, .. stay home and not visit the woods.. BUT

Let’s see… AHHH. PL 2012.20

To do… or Not to do… There is only one way

Although we may have many choices in front of us, in the end we must all make a single decision. Once we have made up our minds, move forward without hesitation.
