David Austin Smiling

  It is 8.30, hot humid morning of the last day of August. Sun shining up and above, in full bloom. I am sitting in my eat in kitchen, next to my patio doors. This is one of my favorite spot. From here, beside enjoying my breakfast,  I can have a view of my back garden.  Scarlet Red, Orange and Violet flowers of Dahlia, giving color to the flower bed of my garden. Red, David Austin Roses smiling at one side. Pink Canadian Roses adding up the beauty of the flower bed of my garden. It is like Cherry on top.  Couple of birds, enjoying their morning walk, having chit chat and snacks on my garden. I miss my friend, the Black Squirrel. He is not here, may be,  already done with his exercises. He is an early riser.  I am done with  my breakfast, my oatmeal porridge and stir fried egg, will enjoy my morning cup of tea, in my garden. I love  to be part of the scenic view, to have a  feel of aroma and the scented atmosphere around. Dew drops are scattered like pearls on the grass. I have to be c

Piling up into Our Basket of Past

  Beautiful hot humid morning. It is end of August, couple of days left to turn the page. New month will start after, and in couple of months, we turn another page, to another New Year. We are turning pages, every moment, but we don't realize that. Our moments are turning into past. We are entering into our future, every moment. We hold our present moment, not for long. It leaves us soon to be gone into the basket of our Past.  Welcome your Mornings with smile, be in good shape, in full of energy Mode. Don't start mornings with Grumpy mood and negative thoughts. Try to look into your glass, Half full, not Half empty. Glass, I mean, the things you have and have to tackle. The matters, you are facing in your life. Life is the same for everyone. It is all up to us, how we take it. No Genie will come to make our day. It only happens in stories. Not in real life. Life is like a mixed plate, with sweet and sour items. We have to accept, whatever is there, with grace and smile. Try to

Love You My Kitchen

  Beautiful hot humid morning. Sun is shining, in full bloom. No rain, no clouds. No breeze. It is very quiet, like a wait and see atmosphere. Trees standing still, tight lipped, fingers crossed, waiting, to figure out, what will be the next.  Down, on the back of my garden, in my flower bed, Pink Canadian flowers are smiling, to give color, spreading happiness, to change the situation. Deep Orange colored flowers of Canna and Scarlet Red colored flowers of Dahlia, adding up color and beauty of my garden. Everyone counts, everyone matters, can bring change, can alter the situation. It all depends on us. Life is the same, like an unpaved path, like a trail with bushes around. We have to make our day, have to find the right path, in between the bushes.  Have to keep on picking flowers of happiness. Flowers of happiness, I believe, are the moments of peace and harmony. We can only get peace and harmony out of spreading peace and harmony to others, to the people around. Not to interfere wi

  Beautiful Morning, hot and humid. It is fine with me. I know these are just couple of more hot weeks of summer. From mid September, it will dip, will be changed. We have to start, getting ready to welcome "Fall", to behold the beauty of Fall colors. Colors of Yellow, Orange and Red, will be scattered all around, in all shades. I wont complain for hot and plus 30 C temperatures.  This is beauty of Canada. We can have a feel of all four Seasons. Every season is intense. Winter comes with snow and sub zero temperatures. We, bundle up in sweaters, coats and gloves, go to lake. From mid March, things shift, to change. April is showers, May flowers. Summer is hot and humid. Fall is full of colors. Gardens and walkways loaded with Copper and Gold. Cones and Bronze leaves, scattered like pieces of Art and Crafts. We already have learned our lessons. No problems. We enjoy all that. It is fine. We have to take whatever is available. Try to make use of the moments in hand, to enjoy yo

Tools To Get Happiness

  Beautiful day not too hot. It was raining early morning, that changed the entire scenario. Red and white flowers of Dahlia and Deep Red and Orange flowers of Canna are smiling in my flower bed. My friend Black Squirrel enjoying his treats, at one side of my garden. White Butterfly is busy, sharing her moments with beautiful flowers. Pink Canadian Roses look happy too. I am walking around on my deck, to behold the scenic view and to have a feel of the scented atmosphere. Beautiful moments to make my day. God always showering His Blessings, not only on we Humans but on All the Creatures, Big and Small. Thank You God. Love You. It is Tuesday, working day. My son is busy with his computer, working online. My daughter in law left for her work. No car today. No lake trip for me. No worries. I have other plans ready. We always have plan B ready, to switch. Nothing is end of the world. Not a big deal. Switch to other options and just relax. For now, I am busy with my friend, my computer. It

  It is 8.30, hot morning of mid August. I am done with my breakfast, will enjoy my morning cup of tea in my back garden. Trees look happy, shaking their heads, I think, it is not too hot, must be breezy. Let's see. I am opening my patio door, to get out, to take my chances. It is beautiful around here. We planted couple of  Dahlia in our flower bed, these are now flowering, displaying variety of flowers. Big Deep Red flower, smiling on top of one of Dahlia, while on the other one, is beautiful flower with Red and white streaks. I noticed one Purple one is budding on the next one. I never realized, there are so many colors in Dahlia. Amazing. Two of Pink Canadian Roses on the left, giving me smile. I take it like a gesture of welcome. David Austin, the English roses are flourishing but no flowers. I think, they are taking time out. Every plant is different, is unique, like we Humans. I have to show patience, have to respect their decisions. I will wait to see. It is 10.30, my son h

Beautiful orange flowers of Canna and Red and white Dahlia flowers adding up the beauty of my flower bed. White Butterfly is here with another Yellow Butterfly. I think, she is her friend. They are whispering, exchanging jokes, flowers are enjoying, started smiling. I missed my friend the Black Squirrel. I think, he was early, already done with his exercises. It is Tuesday, my daughter in law has to go to work. No car today. No lake trip for me. It is hot and humid, I will skip my walk to "Metro", to get freshly baked muffins and my trip to "Dollarama" to get chocolates for my grand kids.  We always have to keep our plan B ready. Nothing is like end of the world. We have to switch plans, to make our day. I will be in my room, with my computer, to browse and write messages to my friends and family. I will enjoy my time in my kitchen, the favorite spot of my house, will

I was organizing my closet and by looking at my gloves, sweaters and woolen stoles, couldn't believe that I was using all that just couple of weeks back.  It is beauty of Canada that you can have a feel of all four seasons. You can enjoy Canyoning, Kayaking, Fishing for couple of weeks and switch to Skiing and ice fishing sort of things. Get busy with Gardening, enjoy Bird watching and after that Beautiful Fall colors will be waiting, to give you Treat.  It is 10.30, I am done with my breakfast and with my morning walk  in my back garden.

My youngest one is driving, her sister  joined her from Kent, to go together, to enjoy the trip. They are calling me, to share their moments.  They stopped at Leicester, on
