So in an antidote to senseless violence in the world here are some photos received by me during this past week. Soak up the beauty and light.
The Man of the House and I have fallen prey to a miserable virus. There is a line-up of immune boosting supplements, cold and flu relief products, boxes of tissues, cough lozenges and extra fluid options in evidence at the moment.
We have needed an abundance of healing vibes and green is a colour for that. The beautiful light and my need for some fresh air drew me out into the garden on Thursday as the sun was lowering in the sky. Greens everywhere took my eye and offered freshness and something of a mirror to our current vulnerability.
Fresh and new growth does not always survive an onslaught.
But in a turn for the better, as the dreary symptoms begin to abate, I spotted this beauty as I ventured down to the shop for some more cough lozenges for the MoH. It heralds a return to being “in the pink” once again and we are really looking forward to that!
By the way…..this is a Chinese Toon tree and it always reminds me of Dr Seuss and his wonderful stories and rhymes which hold so much wisdom and offer so much fun and laughter (which is the best medicine!!)
You can go here to find out more about this amazing tree and how it has even more medicinal uses.
Well almost Wordless Wednesday……Summer temperatures, blue sky intensity, autumn russets.
From green to cream to white, the Snowball Tree ( or Pompom tree) Viburnum Opulus Sterile in my garden. Right now trying to withstand the big spring storm we are experiencing.
Photo of Viburnum Opulus Sterile (Snowball tree) Resized and able to be viewed better compared with my first post.
The first leaf emerges on one of my Viburnum Opulus Sterile (Snowball tree)
