After a fun but busy week – I slept well and woke up to a quiet and grey Sunday. I am happy for a cooler start than the previous days.
In our household, I am usually the first to wake during the weekend. It is quiet outside. Everyone seems to be sleeping in. I heard nothing but my thoughts.
It was the perfect time to go to my terrace/balcony garden to pick some strawberries.
I stood there admiring the rest of my plants especially these lovely “bunch” of green tomatoes.
I am always in admiration of nature; on my balcony or these sturdy black poplars lining a city street.
I see beauty all around me and I am in awe; whether it is weeping willows dramatically and gracefully beautifying everywhere you see them,
or the simply gorgeous scentless chamomile
or beautiful blindeyes poppy.
My thoughts then drift to the beach. I love walking there especially when it is almost empty like in this photo;
when my main distraction are birds who are not at all disturbed by my presence.
However, it is Sunday morning and I am at home.
It is tranquil and sublime indeed but no need to dream. I can enjoy this hanging heartleaf philodendron with its beautiful leaves,
these orchids standing elegantly which always bring me joy
or this pot with peace lilies with its many blooms.
Now I make myself a cup of mint tea (picked from my garden).
I will enjoy its therapeutic fragrance and continue to savour the stillness....... until my home and the city awaken.
