Enjoying time alone

Image
   It is a beautiful morning after a couple of hot days. It is cloudy, still not gloomy. Hazy with overcast not dark at all.  We don't have to turn on the lights. We are enjoying the drizzle, the view. Scenic to behold. The red, gold, purple, white flowers all look happy taking their morning shower. The pink Canadian roses are enjoying the most. They are dancing, shaking their bodies with a big smile. It is Sunday, 11.30 am. I already planned my day. I will walk to the coffee house with my tablet to write my blogs. I will take calls too over there. I usually stay there for a couple of hours. It is good to be with your own company for a while. It works like a meditation. We need some time alone for our own selves. No interruption. No outsider has to be there. Sometimes we need to talk alone with ourselves. Listen to our inner thoughts. It helps to get peace inside deep down. We don't have time for that so often. There has to be a time slot planned in our day schedule. Not ...

Rabbit in my garden

  Spring is the time of revival.Time for things coming back to life. The trees around are no more like skeletons anymore.  They are loaded with greens. The gardens are also lush green. No more brown patches in between. Squirrels are playing hide and seek in gardens. Running up and down on trees to enjoy their time. Birds are! on tree tops calling each other I think to join the party out. The small brown rabbit just came enjoying his feast in my back garden. He loves grass. Sometimes he enjoys some of my flowers too. It is a hot day, 11.15 in the morning 29C. I am getting ready for my walk. The summer time is different. Easy to dress up. No more getting ready with layers, heavy coats, gloves and woolen stole. I have a couple of light tops to wear on summer days. It is just a few more weeks. Things will start changing from mid August. In September we will need jackets to go outside. We are enjoying our time for now. Not thinking about the days ahead. We learned to adjust our Can...

I enjoyed the Ferry ride

   It's a hot humid morning, predicting 37 C later on. It is 11.30, started drizzling. I am in my backyard.  The flowers, red, purple, gold and white are giving my back garden a beautiful look. Scenic and eye-catching view. My son used to be busy with his wife in the evenings working in the garden. People know that they have just a couple of weeks to enjoy the outdoors. We don't have much time to do things in our garden in Canada. We have all four seasons in Canada, but our winter is a bit longer here. We try to enjoy making adjustments. Spring time will be gone and there will be Fall after. We wait for that too to enjoy the colors. The trees look great with all shades of green, yellow. bright red, orange and copper. It used to be an amazing atmosphere. We are enjoying our spring time for now. I am going for my walk to the Coffee House. The front gardens on the way looked beautiful. The plants around are loaded with all green. Yesterday was a big day for me. My childhood ...

Enjoying my morning

Image
  It's a beautiful morning. Some mornings come with surprises. Like  Christmas. You never know which part of your body is going to give you a hard time. Not going to listen to you to cooperate. To get along with your plans for the day ahead. The same is with some of the nights. Our body is not like a robot. We go through hard times with our nights too sometimes. The nights we are not sleeping well. We will not be able to get up with the same energy to focus on to enjoy our mornings. Mornings are the face of our day. Spoiling our morning means that we are done with our day. Nights are the key to control our days. We have to take measures to manage our sleep time. At the later stages of our life they start giving us problems. So many issues start coming up as our body starts getting weaker. It becomes hard to handle things. We have to manage anyway to streamline our life. To keep our pressure down helps a lot to manage things in life. To manage our mental pressure, we have to di...

Rabbit in my garden

It's a beautiful day, breezy morning. Perfect weather to go for a walk. The trees are loaded with green.  The gardens are back to life with beautiful flowers of all colors. The grass is lush green with no brown patches in between. The blood red David Austin is still on break. I can't see any flowers. The same is with the pink Canadian roses. Everyone is different. The same is with plants. They behave and react to the atmosphere taking their own time. The small brown rabbit is sitting quietly at the right by the flower bed. A couple of brown birds with yellow patches on their belly are enjoying their morning walk under the Maple tree. The white Butterfly is whispering to the purple flowers. My son planted a white planter on the weekend with his wife. This is all so peaceful and scenic to behold. To cherish and enjoy a sort of meditation. I am outside in my back garden, sitting on one of the red knitted steel garden chairs. My son got four of these from the Canadian Tire store y...

My flower bed is back to life

  I am sitting inside the Second Cup Cafe. It's a bit of a festive atmosphere. Not happens here all the time.  It is not like Tim Hortons where you see people coming and going all the time. The Second Cup is a bit quiet with a different sort of clientele. I used to come here anytime after 11.30.  I keep my mornings for my chores. Some kitchen work, making some calls and to plan out my day plans. The weather has now changed. It is 20 C, breezy. The flower bed in my back garden is back to life. Pink, gold, white and blood red flowers adding up the beauty of the scenic atmosphere. It is the time of the year when you feel cold under shades. Feel hot under the sun. We have to pick and choose what to wear while getting out. Our coats and jackets are back in the closet for sometime. We know that things will start getting changed after mid August. We are feeling relaxed enjoying our time for now. We will handle it when the time comes. We don't have to spoil our days by thinking a...

Red flowers giving smile

    It's a beautiful morning. Bright and sunny. My neighborhood looks a bit quiet. The same is at my place.  I think people like to start their mornings late on weekends. No work, no school to be there on time. Weekends people take to get relaxed. To calm down and enjoy for a while their time at home. People like to be with their family for some time. Things start getting changed as the family grows. Kids grow up finding their own activities to get busy with friends. They are still there at home for some time. Parents don't want to miss that opportunity. To have a feel of family time, parents make a point to stay home until kids leave for their plans. I think at every stage of life things start changing. We have to adjust ourselves accordingly. Kids grow up and leave to start families of their own. Our house is no longer the same. It looks like an empty nest. No more hissing buzzing. It is so quiet. We have to make plans to enjoy our days. We are no longer busy with work ...
