Five Cherry trees have been blossoming since last week, bringing a late display of cherry blossoms due to unpredicted weather. Oh, what a delight to see out from our kitchen window early evening today after yesterday’s pouring rain out in Te Kowhai.
I love looking out through our kitchen window daily and watching wild rabbits out in the fields, our dogs running around and chasing wild rabbits and children walking up to the bus stop for their schools or coming home from school. Many birds fly in the air or creep on the ground for their yummy meals.
“The flower that smells the sweetest is shy and lowly. ” William Wordsworth
Azalea shrub is full of fiery red colours and displays where the old house was; at the time, we moved to our home here, and yes, there were two houses here, but not anymore. What an angelic display of this shrub each year!
“My extravagance is my garden – it’s the first thing I look at every morning when I wake up. It gives me so much pleasure.” Ina Garten
When I was a young girl, my mother asked me to do a weeding or something in the garden. I said I don’t want to get my hands dirty, but I rather wait until I had a home with a bare or partially unfinished garden.
“God Almighty first planted a garden. And indeed, it is the purest of human pleasures. ” Francis Bacon
Then, the garden is still processing with new plant cuttings, filling more seedlings in the gardens, and planting new trees to replace the old trees for firewood.
“In my garden there is a large place for sentiment. My garden of flowers is also my garden of thoughts and dreams. The thoughts grow as freely as the flowers, and the dreams are as beautiful. ” Abram L. Urban
This is me as a deaf gardener/historian, researcher/blogger/community support worker/advocator, Christian and other roles. Note this photo was taken one long hot summer day in 2016.
