bliss...

mother
moth.er
1. a title for a woman respected for her wisdom and age.
2. love and tenderness.
3. a creative source.
4. mySelf.
5. the earth.

a clandestine moment.....

clandestine:  clan~des~tine
(1)  conducted with or marked by hidden aims or methods
(2)  undercover
(3)  hush~hush
***secret mission....secret agent***

i had a little clandestine moment or moments i should say....a couple of days ago....
it involved this...
seeds i saved from my old garden....perhaps for a "future" use...
and this....

a "top secret" location....
that could use a little "color" in it's naturalness...

ummm......thus the reason for
clandestine....ummmmm....
does this mean no wildflowers
native to the area...such as daisies or black~eyed susans?
ummmm....
my interpretation is
NO.
but...
just in case...
i cohersed the
locals...
actually there was no cohersion involved...
they
volunteered ~*~

to be on the look~out...

they "had my back"...while i embarked upon my secret mission.

i may or may not be in this location at this time next year...
either way...
perhaps
the seeds of beauty
i planted
will
be.

church....

i went for a walk on sunday morning.....most people go to church....i do too....mine is in nature rather than in a building.....and usually i have my camera in hand to capture what brings a feeling of beauty, gratitude and joy in my~lovely~self....and often times i can often find a simple story or message in my experience...
my neighbor children have been busy over the last several months building this "rock castle".  it is tucked away behind some trees...i love looking for it when i start out on my walk....wondering if they have added to it again.  FINALLY i am photographing it.  it has grown ever so slowly....a very nice "zen castle".  i love stacked rocks and could sit forever looking at the colors, sizes and textures of the rocks....but i would imagine they would wonder why the new neighbor lady is sitting on the sidewalk staring at their yard and rock castle.  thank you neighbor children....for unknowingly offering someone something to look forward to on any given day....it puts a smile on my face everytime i see it.

this is where i sat in church today....i wrote about dandelions in a previous post....it was the perfect seat....on a hill over looking this....

mmmm....it was a windy day and the wind had much to say....i just sat in silence and listened....noticing how peaceful and calming the scenery was....and on occasion i would ponder....oh look...there is a crabapple tree blooming...if the wind was blowing in the other direction i could catch the scent....i love the scent of crabapples in the spring...and where are those geese i saw earlier swimming around...and the cattails are waving in the wind...i wonder if when they grow in if the old brown ones are still visible behind the waves upon waves of green...and i wonder if the algae starts to smell in the dead of summer....and wow this is a perfect place to be on a sunday spring morning...then i realized....

i live in the country again....

dandelions.....

nature does not judge....
a field of dandelions is just as love~ly as a field of tulips...

even the seed heads are beautiful...

little stars in a cluster....

turtles and joy...

every morning i enjoy the sunrising over the pond out my bedroom door....
the colors are breathtaking....and beauty to the heart and eye when i wake up.  i am so fortunate to have slowed life down to appreciate the good rather than to dwell on the noise of what may appear to be "bad" that occurs in daily life.

the canadian geese are still around.  mama goose has been laying on her eggs for a good 2 weeks.

but......

watching the turtles suntan is child~like and puts a smile on my face.
hello baby turtle...you are so cute investigating with your mama....
i love this little guy...just hanging out enJOYing life in the moment.

"every day i gained more and more pleasure from this listening and looking, always seeing and hearing more clearly.  as time went on, i appreciated how glorious and beautiful existence is, living.  i saw how busy, preoccupied were most people with doing, making.  existence was already so much to enjoy, so grand and lovely, so exquisite."

discoveries....

last week i walked thru my former garden and had the most fun discovering what is saying hello....
oh! hello chocolate mint growing in~between the bricks inside the pavillion....
you are always so cute and perfectly placed...
mmmmm....i love how you smell up close...all chocolate~y...and can we talk bricks?  i love the bricks....all old and weathered...and multicolored...and perfectely not perfect....

....and good morning columbine...you are always one of my favorites...i will save that for another time....but.....your red stems look fabulous next to your blue/green leaves...

mmmm.......hostas....
 
hostas + light = warmth, joy, peace, beauty, perfection and all is right in the world....

....hidden treasures....

...and pebbles with a stray seedling....i am especially fond of the pebble with the stripes.

the pond.....

I have been resting....relaxing....and watching.....the pond and it's inhabitants.
the canadian geese are nesting on a small little "island" in the center.
and the turtles were playing king of the hill...

and the ducks were just checking out the action.

i love my pond.
