Word on Wednesday..enjoy...

The roses are still blooming, but before long they will be gone for this year. I am still enjoying these blooms, savoring the color and scent.  It is wonderful to take a stroll around the garden and take in their beauty. 
magnificent color and ruffle




Buds ready to open
Enjoy it while it lasts. Fall is just around the corner, so I will enjoy the last bit of color in my garden.

Part of my transformation is to walk alone and without music, and pay a little closer to the beauty that surrounds me...so on my morning walk...

    I am in awe of your garden. You put my front yard to shame. I love the welcoming front porch and garden. Everyone will feel welcome at your place. I agree with CJ. I would love for you to landscape my front garden, and bring a fabulous bird bath, too (grin).

    And what a lovely garden you have! My zinnias are still going strong, but are beginning to look a bit "leggy." I don't have any roses. I might have to remedy that next year.

    My roses have a few blooms too. They are pretty hardy and I've seen them blooming right into October. Yours looks very pretty. How do you manage to keep your gardens looking so pretty into this time of year? Hugs-Erika

    Your roses are beautiful...as all the flowers on your walk. Around here, roses pretty much bloom all year. Have you ever been to Portland OR, the city of roses? Everyone has in their yards. I have an azalea bush that's blooming now...it has also bloomed in the dead of winter...
    Cheers~

T stands for Traditions

Nothing says traditions like a holiday...and in our house Birthdays have always been treated like holidays! We hold firmly to the belief that if there is a day you are ever going to celebrate, it's the day you were born. Luckily for Fi, her birthday is October 8, which coincides with Columbus day this year, extending the Birthday to Birthday weekend. We lined up all kinds of special treats, starting with a Half Marathon on Saturday, if you can call that a treat..followed up with  some other birthday specials, breakfast out at our favorite diner,  presents, bookstore coffee and browse around,  made to order breakfasts and dinners,  chocolate cake (yum!) and a wind down with one of our favorite hobbies on Monday... painting Halloween Vignette Years ago, I painted unfinished wood and sold it at craft fairs. Fi loved to go with me to purchase supplies and attend craft shows looking for ideas.  Although it has been a long time since I have participated in a craft fair, we still hav

T stands for Transformation..

and nothing transforms like a butterfly...the metamorphosis is symbolic to so many cultures and religions. The butterfly offers an explanation of the life cycle, and in Christian faiths a symbol of resurrection. In Asian culture, butterflies symbolize long life and love. Native Americans see the butterfly as a symbol of color, change and joy. For them, wishes whispered to the butterfly rise to the heavens. To many people throughout the world, the butterfly symbolizes hope and change. Is it any wonder that I am always on the lookout for them? On our day trip to Ogunquit, I saw some beautiful gardens, lots of color, the ocean, and butterflies... spotted some butterflies... These butterflies were fluttering around in the beautiful gardens outside the Ogunquit Museum of American art. The sculpture garden, flowers and view were amazing. Art and Nature combined.. From here we walked the Marginal Way at Ogunquit, another of my favorite spots... Spectacula

T stands for Tranquility amid the turbulence...

Every click of the television remote or blast from the radio brings more aggressive news of hateful words and actions.  The stress of the situation is exacerbated by the sad fact that I have no impact over the current environment.  All of the lessons of history seem to be lost.   I can only hope that at some point peace, respect and common sense prevail.  Amid all of this discord and hostility, Nish and I went in search of some tranquility. There is no place it is easier  to find than in nature, so we headed to Heritage Museum and Gardens in Sandwich. Majestic trees Beautiful Vista And then we moved through the labyrinth. Moving meditation Labyrinth move within, let go circle, center, continue  end, let go, begin The current exhibit is Painted Landscapes: Contemporary Views.  Some of my favorites:  So much inspiration taken from the beauty of nature. It was back outside to one of my favorite water features of the Gardens. Flume fountain in
