FLOWER QUOTE: WHAT I LOVE MOST
June 25, 2018
MY TWO CENTS What I love most about this crazy life is the adventure of it… I love adventure and at the same time, I know I don’t have enough of it in my life. Sometimes it’s lack of time, other times it’s lack of effort. And then there is the ease of living vicariously through the lens of others through social media, and let’s face it - that is not true adventure. Adventure doesn’...
Read MoreIN THE MIDST OF THE FOG
June 24, 2018
In the midst of the fog is where this adventure began. As I write about it I’m finding I’m getting emotional about it, but not because it was a scary adventure or one with lots of risks.

June 18, 2018
MY TWO CENTS Gardens say, Slow down, Look around you, Believe, Hope... I'm doing my best to let my gardens speak to me, and I'm trying to slow down. Admittedly though, I do find it hard at times, but when I spend time in my gardens I find I slow down and don’t feel so rushed. The gardens make me look around and take in all of the breathtaking beauty they give all summer long. The second part...

Read MoreFLOWER QUOTE: LIFE IS NOT MEASURED
June 11, 2018
MY TWO CENTS Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away… As I mentioned in my blooming blog, where does the time go? It goes too fast, but this quote reminds me that as quick as it goes, I have a choice. I can choose between life moving too fast or slowing down to notice the amazing world and people around me. And then I will find those m...

Read MoreFLOWER QUOTE: I MUST HAVE FLOWERS
June 04, 2018
MY TWO CENTS I must have flowers, always, and always… I too, must always have flowers in my life, whether it be fresh flowers, flowers in my garden or cutting garden, forced bulbs during the winter or potted plants by my kitchen window. I also love sharing flowers through my photography, to create a moment of beauty for your view and desktop. To have flowers always is possible; to do so, it mea...
