  • favourite weekend of the year

    Healthy Mindset – Days 53-58 Everything that slows us down and forces patience, everything that sets us back into the slow circles of nature, is a help. Gardening is an instrument of grace. May Sarton The May long weekend is usually one of my favourites of the year because it’s the unofficial beginning of summer.…

  • outside my window

    There’s always a camera on the arm of the chair in my living room so when I see something outside my window, I’m ready to go.  These are some of the the images I’ve captured in the last couple of weeks…

  • flowers still in bloom

    Back to my favourite subject… close-up flower photography. Really enjoying that my flowers are still blooming (especially when the leaves have fallen off the trees – it’s nice to still have some colour to look at).

  • pretty petunias in summer sun

    All I could see when I walked in the door was bright summer sunshine on my petunias a few minutes ago….

  • petunias and blue sky

    This has been a pretty perfect weekend weather-wise – hello summer!  Went grocery shopping yesterday before supper and everyone looked sun-kissed (or burnt!) and mellow and just content.  We had what seemed like six months of winter (the sad part is that’s not a big exaggeration), we needed this summer weather. Now I have to…

  • Favourite Day of the Year

    Yesterday, when the guy at the greenhouse asked me if I was happy with my purchases as I was leaving, I told him choosing my flowers was one of my favourite days of the year. I planted my flowers today, and enjoyed every minute of digging my hands in the soil, so it’s one of…

  • the lowly petunia

    I used to think petunias were boring.  When I first started planting flowers on my balcony,  I would choose plants at the greenhouse that were more interesting and prettier – gerbera daisies, garden mums, fuchsias and a host of flowers that bloomed once and never again. I was attracted to the flash of colour and…

  • Maybe everytime it snows I’ll post pictures of flowers instead…

    We had our first snowfall yesterday and I’m so not inspired to take pictures of snow yet. Instead, I was inspired to go through my photo library and look for pictures of flowers I haven’t posted yet… anyone who lived through the Year of Winter 2012-2013 will understand why!

  • Hope

    When I went grocery shopping the other day I picked up some lettuce and spinach seeds. It finally is starting to feel like spring (although there is snow in the forecast for tomorrow) and just having the seeds in my possession is giving me hope that, yes, maybe this never-ending winter will actually end. So,…

  • petunias

    Brrr….there was a bit of snow here this morning.  It melted as soon as it hit the ground… I really don’t mind snow… but it’s too early! I still haven’t gotten around to cleaning up all my flowers (although the garden mum still looks great) and took these petunia pictures early last week. I played…
