A day surrounded by trees, plants, and sunshine? Ok, not completely surrounded by trees, as that would mean I spent my day somewhere in a deep forest, however, I stumbled upon some nice ones, and it made me feel their presence. I think some rocks would also like to become trees - I will try to help them in this process, although you already know what I am going to say about my rock paintings... hahaha, well, I should better keep this comment to myself 😂, and see which trees or plants are visiting us today.

First, some poor succulents are coming here. Yeah, I found one plant that lived in the same community pot with these ones, fully affected by mealybugs. No alcohol would help as they were even on the roots. I saw that when I pulled it out from the soil, so I decided to take out everything, throw the plant (just a Lucky Bell, but I have many young ones), also throw the soil and plant these succulents into a new soil and pot. That is how it looks at the moment. Then we went for a walk...

Just take vitamin C and vitamin D, and everything will be fine. I wish this would be the answer my doctor would give me tomorrow after my appointment, but I am not sure these will be the only recommendations. Maybe she will tell me I shouldn't have come, that this is normal with age, the pain one can have in the hip and leg, although I doubt it. This started a while ago, a few months ago perhaps but I tried to ignore it. It has intensified in the last few weeks. The physiotherapist will also see me tomorrow afternoon, then I will know better what I should do. Anyway, I took vitamin C today, as recommended by this mural, and also vitamin D. Did you know that one of the sources of vitamin D is sunlight?

I have seen how white my skin is. This doesn't look good, being so white, so while I was around my succulents this morning, I also tidied up the balcony a bit and went outside to sunbathe.

The sun was also pleasant during our walk. I know, I promised some trees. Here they come.

The olive trees - this is quite normal to see here. But I especially loved the leaves of this tree. It was so beautiful and tender; its leaves are like small, wrinkled sheets, a soft green color.

Our next guest in this post is a blue butterfly. What does it have to do with plants? 😂 Nothing, it just lives in the Aloe Vera pot, moves with the wind, and yes, we are now on my balcony where I enjoyed some vitamin D intake and rock painting!!! 😃

One simple pebble brought from the seashore, where it has been soaked in water for so long. Can it give life to a little tree now, with wrinkled branches?

Lines and dots were arriving, in not-so-usual colours for a tree. 😂

Until I finished it (and it didn't last for a long time), the sun had set behind the clouds. I guess it was the sign that I got enough vitamin D and that I should go inside and find a spot for this new kindness rock.

Hmm, I think they look alike, this succulent and the new kindness rock, don't you think? I just saw the resemblance when I placed the rock there. They are family now. 😇
