country roads

There are times, when we are simply on a road, going nowhere in particular, just going. Sometimes roads are long and winding, other times, they simply are a cleared piece of land that cuts through a woodland, hillside, or acres of farmed land. Before it was the norm to have air conditioning in a car, we would drive with the windows open, experiencing the highs and lows of the ambience around us. Our senses were alert to all the world around us, including the dust that swirled around the car on hot lazy days, pebbles hitting the side of the car, the manure in the fields. We were bombarded with a myriad of sights,sounds and smells. We looked around more, we took in everything around us.

We took the tracks that led to places that were simply “lost in time”… When we stopped the world came alive with different sounds, and the blissful renderings of a countryside alive with the sounds of nature gave us a rhapsody of “quiet”

a far away place -dreams

Situated at the foot of the Sredna Gora Mountain, this property has a good disposition being 30 km away from Stara Zagora – the sixth largest town in Bulgaria. The property is located at the center of a nice and peaceful village, where you can face the beautiful nature and go fishing in the river nearby. One of the most famous winter ski resorts – Pamporovo is disposed 168 km away from the village.

The house consists of two stories, with living area of 90 sq. m., a garage for one car, an outbuilding and a garden vast 504 sq. m.

Ground floor: Here you can find an entrance, two rooms and a bathroom/WC. The house was built from sun-dried bricks and stones, the flooring here is wooden, and the frames of the windows are wooden, too.
First floor: An external staircase leads to it. There is a corridor, two bedrooms and a closet here. The flooring in the corridor and one of the bedrooms is cement, and the other premises have wooden flooring. The walls are made of sun-dried bricks, and the frames of the windows are wooden.

The garden is a small one and planted with box-trees, flowers, fruit trees, trellis vine. There is also a drill, which helps for the irrigation.

The house is in basic condition. It needs refreshment and renovation of the plasters. The property is supplied with electricity, running water /outside and inside/ and it is connected to the main sewerage system. An asphalt road leads to the property; it is accessible in the whole year.

The village itself offers shops, a café, a school, a church, a police station, a health service, a post office, a community center, a library, a kindergarten and regular bus transport to the towns and the villages in the vicinity. The region around is suitable for fishing, hunting, mountaineering and village tourism development. So do not miss the chance to become the new owner of that house.

I don’t know if you can access the website, I hope so … for years now I have been receiving the listings from this company, I saw a documentary one day on some travel station, and fell in love with the rural area of Bulgaria. The above is so totally foreign to my current lifestyle and how I go about my life, BUT it appeals to something inside of me.

When I read about places to visit and explore, seldom do I see anything about Bulgaria. In the documentary I saw, men still rode their carts pulled by donkeys through the village, everything seemed so peaceful.

Live your life to the fullest. But never stop dreaming. Our dreams allow us to travel beyond current boundaries, and offer promise of what lies ahead.

travel slowly, travel light,

most importantly, travel with God

Within a short distance from the property there is a bus stop. In the neighborhood you can find a church and a town hall. Additionally, the area provides the following amenities for a pleasant and comfortable living and entertainment: a cafe, a mineral springs, a near architectural reserve, a near cave, a near monastery/monasteries, a near nature reserve, a reservoir/lake and a river. It is also worth-mentioning that there is no heavy industry in a close proximity.

The beauty of NOW

now is the moment

now here in the present is the time

this is when you can capture the bloom

tomorrow, same time, same place

it just won’t be the same

we cannot retrace our steps

and relive that moment

we need to experience today

for right now

this moment

will be with us always

till a new moment dawns

then my precious

my darling

my own

the excitement

the passion

will be reborn

dissatisfactions and complaints

not a happy face, nope, no joy found here

tired, weather worn and ragged

life has left an imprint of a bitter

state of mind

spent in the company of

dissatisfaction and complaints

we, each and every one of us

is entitled to happiness

and the joy of living in a world

full of promise and hope

true, what was,

sometimes fades with the

changing seasons

but it is what is inside that counts

happy and even sad memories

make up our past

yet here we are

starting a brand new day

our lives continue

like sparkling spring water flowing

over the dips and valleys

happily gurgling along

over the variety of rocks

there really is no other choice, but to go with the flow

so why not use what dissatisfaction

and momentary complaints that come our way

as catalysts to improve and change our days

so that happiness is the mainstay

of our daily “every day” lives.

appreciate whatever comes your way

the shade you see, will soon shift and fade away

off road in a jeep

There is always the first time for something. Today was my first time to experience, off roading in a jeep. This is the jeep that I was travelling in, and at this stage of the ride, it was not longer pristine clean. Off roading is something that I have wanted to do for a very long time, the opportunity simply had never presented itself before. Darling sweet Brig, (owner of the jeep) asked if we would go along for the opening of the season ride. What a beautiful day it was.

The whole experience of meeting up with folks who were set and ready to get out and ride, was awesome. Everyone gathered in an agreed to rendez vos, for a set time, and from there we left heading out of the city to the next pick up point. The convoy had to be about 40 vehicles long. You can see the weather cooperated, it was a gorgeous day.

There is something to be said about fresh air, and the strong desire to conquer a challenge. Everyone worked together, and everyone, cheered and supported the drivers who took the harder challenges. The obstacles were there, if you wanted to try them, there were spotters and experienced drivers to coach you through, if you preferred the less arduous route, that was OK too.

There was no easy road, it was all an assortment of ” fun” “bush terrain, with rocks, boulders, mud, and lets not forget the mud ponds with their hidden “treasures” . It was just a matter of deciding if you wanted the rock and roll, the muddy waters, or the roller coaster rock and mud slide.

Our hostess was magnificent, she went up a 45 degree. incline of rock face like it was a piece of cake, honestly I was so proud of her .. she did it on her first try. We saw others having to make several stabs at it. There were moments where I found myself holding my breath, the action was so intense.

Here is a jeep preparing to crawl up one of the rocks. I got to scamper over the rocks up the trails, around the mud, over fallen tree stumps, and of course the personal challenge of finding “private” space (when needed) At least we were out on a day, without the horse flies, mosquitoes, and ticks. We had a GRAND day.

I stepped outside my comfort zone, I explored the backwoods of a countryside I had not been in before. Met some very nice people, took part in a convoy, (that was very well run.) the leader, the spotters, everyone, were so totally focused on enjoying the moment, it was a positive, energizing day.

Who knew… a road is what you want it to be.

Today we saw first hand

When you want to be somewhere

or get to a destination

no matter the challenges

when you listen with an open mind

to the encouragement of friends

and believe in your ability to do something

the rewards are satisfying

Boats – waiting

All in a row

one by one

they sit and wait

for someone to come open the gate

it is a beautiful day

surely today will be the day

shadows play along the walls

racks wait patiently

to feel the weight of their cargo

the sun shines down with promise

anticipation is carried on the breeze

Mother Nature smiles & whispers

“all in good time”

we still are nowhere near the twenty first of May

soon, soon enough,

the grounds will be alive with activity

the sailing season

will begin

for now the few

who have come to enjoy

are blessed with a tranquil day

and open spaces of exquisite joy

Je t’aime ~

garden sprite tell me true

what will the morning bring

when the sun shines high in the azure sky

bathing the world in a light so bright

will I find my love come night

silly child how will you find

something you have not lost

you need only look

deep into your heart

to see and feel the love

that constantly beats

with each pitter patter of your heart

je t’aime, je t’aime

true love has no beginning and no end

a leap of faith

There is such beauty and grace

when a horse and rider

take flight and together

mount the challenge

and conquer the moment

the moment didn’t just happen

the rider and the horse

trained and trained

both were ready for the challenge

they both faced

and when the time came

they flew as one

that moment shared

that bond, that connection

once forged

is like the nature that surrounds us

it will flow and ebb

but it will never end

faith,

when one believes

new experiences

always open up

begin each day with faith

that all your experiences in life

will carry you through

whatever comes your way

happy happy

Good afternoon everyone. I had a wonderful time this past Sunday exploring the back roads from the city towards Sharbot Lake, it was a bright day, a bit of a chill in the air, but otherwise great. Too soon after a cold snowy spell, for there to be a lot of day trippers out. One of my finds, was this tree stump…. the colours, the recent cuts l seemed to dazzle with the afternoon sun.

These delights were found on a vacant lot of a house that is up for sale. 100 acres on a quiet country road (at an intersection) The house had seen much better days, nothing of interest to me, it was the location.. What was sad to see was that the yard around the house was a catch-all for debris and clutter. I had been drawn to the stumps because of the rich tones of the inner core. What ever happened to their tops, was not evident. So I assume, that the rest of the tree will serve a good purpose.

My husband was drawn to the old television satellite dishes. Some places tease me, and I want to hear their story. Others, well, they just don’t hold my attention. On this property it was the tree stumps.. they were my gemstones amongst the rubble. AND the QUIET. Further down the road ( a paved road, however it was well posted, that it was not a road that was maintained year round) we found this spot..

You likely had to have been there .. it was such a peaceful site. What we found was what was left of a building, that must have been part of the church that had been in this location. The lumber I didn’t think dated back to the 40’s but perhaps a makeshift building of sorts had been there and when that went, the community got together and put up the piece you see below. (1987)

How different life must have been life back when the church as in full attendance. 1893… the land in the surrounding areas you can tell had once been farmed. The further we drove down this road, with the quiet around us, and the beckoning open fields, the more the happy glow of discovery surrounded me.

Life is ever-changing, what remains a constant in life is the natural world we live in. It grows, flourishes, dies, and is reborn. The landscapes change, but the wonder of it all remains. GOD is living, GOD is life, GOD is Everything. and YES, GOD is LOVE
