Finally it’s here. The season of flowers. It’s a beautiful morning in my part of the world, birds are singing and the sun is shining.
Happy new season to you!

Noticing # 94
Stop, breathe and listen to the whispers of the frozen river.
Waking by a frozen river is one of my pleasures during the winter. When I slow down and calm my mind, I can listen to the sound of the water moving under the ice and whispering to me.
It’s magical!
Flowers
Spring softness
Spring softness can be found a few steps from my front door, as the first flowers in my Dogwood tree.
Or at a few steps a little farther away as in the tulips around my maple tree.
Spring’s soft fragrance can be found a few steps from my back door as well and it can infuse the soul with lightness as the hyacinthus in my backyard.
Or a little farther away, in a park nearby, the beauty of the cherry trees can transport us to a land of fairies and magic.
Hope you enjoyed a little bit the spring softness from my field of vision.

A little bit of colour!
Hello! How are you doing? Hope you are doing well. The weekend was lovely with lots of gardening and cooking. Gardening is food for the soul and cooking food for body, isn’t it a good combo?
Wishing you a great and safe week ahead!
May Flowers
We planted this cherry tree in our backyard a few years back. She was 2 feet tall, a say a baby tree. Now she’s maybe 8 feet tall and she is blooming!
I say ‘she’ because to me all the trees are female. They are fertile, they give flowers and fruits, they are home for birds and other animals. They are always ready to give security and love. Oh! if you don’t know yet, I’m a tree hugger too!
Flowers always make people better, happier, and more helpful; they are sunshine, food, and medicine to the soul.
Luther Burbank
Wishing a wonderful May to you! Stay safe!
Moments of gratitude
We had our first snow storm of the year on Friday night. It was so pretty and soft when I woke up Saturday morning. It wasn’t easy to go to the grocery store, but instead of being upset for all the trouble I noticed few things to be grateful for.
It is still snowing right now, I can see from my desk the snow flakes dancing outside. Hope the roads will be ok tomorrow morning to go to work.
Have a great week!

I’m so glad to live in a world where there are Octobers

The weather was gorgeous this weekend, I had a long walk outdoors and I was so pleased to see beauty in every corner.
Like this visitor in our small bay. Blue heron birds generally stop by this time of the year during their migration to the south. It’s not easy to get them to be still for the photo, I think this one enjoyed all the attention.
“Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it, and if I was a bird I would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns”

The trees are beautiful and graciously letting go of their leaves.
And the sun took a step back, the leaves lulled themselves to sleep and Autumn was awakened

Glad I could enjoy this warm weekend outdoors, and I cleaned up the backyard and the barbecue as well. It’s time to turn my attention to indoors and inward to myself.
I hope you had a great weekend and a lovely starting of the week.
