Fragrance

autumn rose

Aren’t autumn roses the best?

Nature keeps all the beauty and fragrance for the start of the new season. This yellow rose is in my front garden, she is beautiful and has such a strong fragrance. Kindness from nature to give me a lovely rose and self-kindness from my side; Before going out and when coming back home, I pause and breathe in the wonderful perfume that it’s good for my soul. It’s a self-gift of a refreshing moment.

October’s Delights

my windowsill

Happy October! A month of pumpkins and candles, hot chocolate and pies, sweaters and boots. A perfect month for self-care and kindness.

There are many wonderful quotes about October, here are few of my favourites.

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

L. M. Montgomery

October is the opal month of the year. It is the month of glory, of ripeness. It is the picture-month.

Henry Ward Beecher

My favorite color is October.

Unknown

October is crisp days and cool nights, a time to curl up around the dancing flames and sink into a good book.

John Sinor

October is a symphony of permanence and change

Bonaro W. Overstreet

Sharing with Nurturing Thursday and October Squares, that it’s all about kindness this month.

Market

Breakfast

Pumpkin pie and coffee. I went to the farmers market yesterday. First time since the pandemic started months ago. I was glad to see that the local farmers didn’t stop. They had all the goodness of the season there: apples, pears, plums, pumpkins…. Now, more than ever, we should support our local business to booster our city economy.

Happy Sunday to you!

On the way

a secret message: find your anchor

I had a lovely morning outdoors yesterday, Saturday! The weather was just perfect, the crisp air and the sunshine. This beautiful painted rock was on my way, I believe this message found me.

beauty nearby

The flowers are blooming, it’s like they know that they should show our their beauty now, there isn’t time for later, the temperature is dropping faster.

Wishing a lovely week to your, enjoy the rest of this season.

just a sunday!

on my way

sunrise by the river. i’m just back from my 5k, it was gorgeous out there this morning. crisp air, birds, a breeze, little things that make me happy!

this last week i went back to the office after 150 days of quarantine working from home. it’s a different world out there. i see many layers of adaptation on my way.

strong coffee early mornings

nothing better than a strong cup of coffee before going out to keep up with all the changes and stresses of the outdoor world.

have a wonderful sunday!

a special welcoming

view from my basement

my front yard garden is blooming with pink english roses. these ones are a later bloomer, they start now and goes until the end of october, autumn roses! Their fragrance is wonderful, a welcoming sign for any visitor who rings the doorbell.

“Won’t you come into the garden? I would like my roses to see you.”
