Time to Think

Do you ever feel as though you have so many thoughts swirling around in your mind that you are not quite certain where to begin? I am slowly working on a couple of knitting projects and I have three books on the go at the moment. Most nights before bed I work on Sudoku puzzles, I find them so calming. I am enjoying food again, trying new recipes and loving the new season of fresh produce! Our container garden is coming along, the Cilantro and Bachelor Buttons we started from seed are doing marvelously well. I just picked up a small locally grown Julep Mint plant that should be larger than ever in no time. Our Jasmine has just finished blooming, the heavenly scent from its fragrant blossoms would greet you whenever the patio door was opened. There are two small succulents that are beginning to branch out and should be quite well established by the end of the summer. Much to think about and in time I may be able to formulate these many thoughts into coherent sentences.
Enjoy the journey!

So many roses...

Hello There May!!!

So we are ushering in a new month, by the way where did April get to?! I have been a bit on the quiet side these past couple of weeks. Now with a new month upon us and several new projects either in the works or at least under contemplation, I should be a bit more vocal over the coming days. Thanks for the patience. Don't forget to look for beauty, in even the most unlikely of places, one never knows, does one? I discovered the following quote while browsing through some photos on flickr and was smitten, please enjoy:

Suddenly, as rare things will, it vanished.
