Trying to make sense

To go ahead

Without looking back

June moments

Can you believe today is the last day of June and the half-year is gone by?

Being at home has proportioned me with tiny pleasures that before were reserved only for the weekends.

ENJOYING – I’m spending lots of time in my backyard. I enjoy looking at the flowers and the insects that visit them, like butterflies and dragonflies. Lots of birds visiting my yard as well. We have a birdbath and I love watching them playing in the water.

CREATING – My creativity is low right now, I’m not sure what is going on, but I don’t have any enthusiasm to be in my art room. I managed to make a notebook and few art cards this month.

BAKING – I’m testing new recipes for both baking and cooking. Up to know they have been a success, like this apple cake.

READING – I’m reading a lot, all kinds of books. The library in my city has a great collection of books: old and new. I like to read 2 books at the same time, one fiction and another one non-fiction or poetry.

FOCUSING – On tiny things. Observing details that generally we are too busy to see and be grateful that I have the opportunity to be a witness of the magical nature around me.

Wishing you a lovely July!

The weather can be harsh but Nature always finds a way to show off her beauty. Right now we have ice sculptures all over rivers and lakes.

WPC: Weathered

winsome fruit

We love pomegranate in my home, we all like to eat it, but hubby is the only one that likes to open this winsome fruit and remove the edible seeds.

The season of pomegranate here in my city lasts from November to January, during this period we eat one or two per evening.

The legend says that in each fruit there is one seed that came directly from heaven, and it’s good luck to the person that eats it. Others say that it was pomegranate, not apple, that Eve offered to Adam.

There are many stories about this fruit, but what I know for sure is that it is delicious and healthy, each seed is loaded with antioxidants and vitamins.

Cee’s Black & White Photo Challenge: Toys

This toy for sure is on my list!

Frozen River

Cee’s B&W photo challenge this week is WATER. I love to walk by this river in all the seasons. In the winter we can listen to the water moving under the ice, it’s very relaxing, of course, if you are warm enough with layers and layers of clothes 🙂 .
