Not only will the person you are thanking feel good, but you will too. Leading to better things in the future. (PL2014.11)

The first two pictures .. are of a welcoming home that stood on a quiet street.. in a small village off a secondary road in rural Ontario. The home owner was tending to the flower beds in the front and along the wrap around porch. I stopped to ask if I could take the picture .. it was just so inviting. She graciously invited me to have tea on the porch with her. It was a wonderful moment in time. So often we are rushing from place to place.. especially in the city… but here .. on this lazy afternoon, was a neighbourly greeting and a chance to visit. Her family had lived in the area for some time. I learned about the history of the town, the old church that stood across the way, and the small businesses along the village main street. It was a lovely interlude.
The old wooden structure was off the highway as I was headed out back towards the city, it was on the edge of the forest I was driving by, It was part of an old farm… but the owners were setting up a little rest area… so that passers by could stop and enjoy the little out building. A convenience had been added for weary travelers who needed to stop and stretch their legs. Canada is a big country, we have a lot green space.. You can travel for some time along country roads and highways. It is a blessing we should never take for granted.

Are you rushing through life, do you need to slow down.
Here is my gaff of the other day. I had a yen for a good beef bone broth soup with vegetables. I wanted home made. I went to the store got the beef bone with marrow… there was also a healthy piece of meat attached to it.. I put it in the pot to simmer..I added fresh ginger, garlic.. I chopped and smashed.. I had even gotten fresh celery, onion etc. for it.. I was really hankering for that yummy goodness.
I had a big fresh carrot that I carefully cut into slices and added big juicy mushrooms.. oh the anticipation. During a taste test.. I thought to add a bit of Kimchi just to give it a bit of spice. When I opened the fridge I caught sight of another jar ..(anchovies chilies paste. )… I was distracted by the phone, I grabbed the jar took a spoonful and dropped it into the soup. Went to answer the phone. It was a pesky nuisance call. I hit delete and went on with my morning. To my horror when I went back to check on the soup. It was full of floating chilies (seeds) and instead of the warm brown of beef bone broth, I had RED liquid.. AGGHHH was I able to save it.. NO I wasn’t. believe me I tried, PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT YOU ARE DOING… at all times.
Any critters trying to get at my compost will burn their mouths .. big time.

… the two black labs were rescued successfully and are now at the SPCA.. thank you to all who assisted.
Don’t give up! Stick with it, as many times as it takes. Sometimes you want to just throw in the towel and say, “I give up”, but that is the time for you to dig deep and push through. Your sincere effort will invite a good outcome.
nugget… for seeing the birds, the earlier you journey out into the woods, the more likely you will find “activity”… we’ve all heard the expression.. “it is the early bird that catches the worm”
Yes, the fruit trees are flowering, and so is the magnolia. AND the mosquitoes are starting to be active. bring out the repellent, check what is left from last year does it need replacing? Thank you for your kindness and support. Little steps…
