Late spring, sunny day and Labour Weekend, all is good. I am really pleased with my achievements over the last two weeks. Especially as I have organised and completed things that I have had in my head to do for a few years. Empty out a little bit of the congestion in my head so that I can have new thoughts and plans.
I started my day sweetly with chocolate hazelnut crepes, Raspberries with Raspberry and Lemon Yoghurt and Sakura Rose Green tea. A light and sweet start to a bright day and to complement the tea I chose my Geisha teacup. All these elements generate a feeling of wellbeing and peacefulness.
With my chairs off being reupholstered the house looks empty and out of balance. The cats are not happy with the cane chairs I have put into the lounge from the bedrooms. When the chairs are in the bedrooms they sleep on them but they are not having anything to do with them in the lounge. They have a race to see who can get on me when I sit with my feet up on the couch. Sometime I will go and sit on my bed so that they can all settle themselves beside me.
I am really please with the circular walkway I am creating in the garden, once it is finished it will be a pleasant way to wander around and see all the plants. I have planted all the cuttings and the plants I picked up cheaply as they were seconds but it has hardly made a dent in the area probably only a third of the space has been covered. I am really looking forward to my geraniums and pelargoniums coming into flower as I now have a very wide variety of colour. The fuchsias are looking spectacular, I love vibrancy of the colours and it drooping habit. Once these get established the shade garden will look really good I still have maidenhair fern and a hosta to move into the garden. That should be all I need to plant in there at this time.
My thoughts today are on new beginnings and how each time I head into the garden change is going to occur and each time is a new beginning. So many possibilities exist in each moment we have and change give prospects of new direction we can head off along.
“The beginning is always today.” —Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley
and
“Every new beginning comes from some other beginning’s end.” —Seneca
And finally the wisdom of Joseph Campbell
“We must be willing to get rid of the life we’ve planned, so as to have the life that is waiting for us. The old skin has to be shed before the new one can come.” —Joseph Campbell
Blessings to all; in this upcoming week may you embrace the changes that are occurring every moment in your life.
