Seedlings turn overnight to sunflowers
Blossoming even as they gaze
Sunrise, sunset
Sunrise, sunset
Swiftly fly the years
One season following another
Laden with happiness and tears
One season following another
Laden with happiness and tears

Phaedra, you aren't old enough for that song - in several ways!

Years and years ago, when I was still in my 20's, I had something similar to that window. I was out in the forest in an owner-built home in a large clearing. Beyond one line of trees was my hay field. In the clearing was my garden. My kitchen table sat in front of a window that looked out on it. Sitting there, I felt that I had escaped from a world that wasn't at all to my liking, to a peaceful little place, under a big, open sky.

and what dragged you away from that? :)

Too isolated from humanity.

It was a little bit of an extreme step for me that I had longed for.

The wishes of spouses and girlfriends and requirements of children have influenced where I have lived and what I have done with myself, of course.

Phaedra's environment is so much more civilized :).

Autumn is coming.

Worked early in the pond area, that became jungle....after such a rainy summer. Where I cleaned today (left and lower corner) and where not yet seem (the rest) totally two worlds. :eek: I guess this will take me 1-2 weeks to clean up.

More dahlias are also coming.

Mowed for quite a while, as it will rain again for days from tomorrow. Two dogs enjoyed their time when I was working.

VP-2 is lovely, i like the structure more than VP-1. The rooms in the lower deck are quickly sold out. :lol:

Enough for today, time for a rest. Homemade milk tea (zimt flavor) and freshly baked sesame Bagel.

A small oasis on the window sill in the kitchen, for propagation.
