this corner in my garden is where i recharge and reset, where i go to find myself in moments of turbulence, when i don’t know which is the path to follow and when the past is talking loud and i want to silence it.
have a peaceful week!
the joy of gardening. i know it’s not easy to start, to work with the soil, to add the tiny seeds, watering and all the waiting. this process started on the spring, and now almost at the end of the summer i have been harvesting delicious cucumbers and tomatoes. i have peppers too, but they are still growing. the art of gardening has taught me many things, as to have more patience, to trust the process, to be more grateful… i’ve been gardening for many years and each year seems that it’s the first year, always something new to learn and appreciate.
enjoy your weekend!
books. i’ve many, my bookshelves are overflowing! i read a lot, and i really like to feel the weight of the book in my hands. most of the time i order the hardcopy, or the real book as i like to say. i’ve my kindle that i use mostly when travelling, and now in COVID times i’m using it more, i’m not comfortable in getting books by mail.
i don’t keep all the books i’ve read, only the ones that really touched me and i’m sure i’ll go back to them, so i donate most of my books during the spring, but this year the donation centres around here have stopped receiving books donations. i’ve sorted out the books i want to keep and made this pile for donation. these books are waiting for new hands to hold them.
And you? do you prefer hardcopy or electronic version? do you keep all your books?

it is interesting how easy it’s to transform an ordinary photo in a work of art. i love the last image, it looks like a painting.
which one is your favourite?
i hope you are having a lovely sunday!

Wow! It’s July 31st! And I did it! At least one blog post per day during this month! A perfect farewell for the quarantine, since next month I’m going back to the office.
Thanks so much Becky for the inspiration and gratitude to all of you that followed me in this journey, clicking like or leaving wonderful comments on my posts. I think that in almost 7 years of blogging this is the first time that I posted everyday!
Have a great weekend!
I like gardening – it’s a place where I find myself when I need to lose myself.

It’s wonderful to observe a tiny seed to grow in something beauty as flowers or nutritious as these cucumbers.
