  1. Beautiful – simply beautiful! Not just your words but the reality behind them. How lovely to have this (as I imagine) at the bottom of your garden path. To walk straight out into fields of lush green in the morning. It looks like the England I love, but you could be anywhere and it wouldn’t make a difference to me, so long as you keep on feeling the love and sending the snaps.

    1. Robert, thank you so much for your lovely words this morning. Having grown up in California and then living many years in Boston now that I am settled in New England (New Hampshire,USA) not a morning goes by that I am not grateful to be surround by the nurture of nature and natural beauty. How nice to know on the other side of the Atlantic there is a like minded soul. Kindness back – Catherine

      1. Catherine – you share my sister’s name. Another step closer. So, that really is the view from the bottom of your garden? Wow! You are so fortunate.

  7. Thank you for sharing this delightful view and you always-poignant words <3

    Would you happen to know the identity of the plants with the zig-zag stem and parallel-veined leaves on the righthand side of the picture? I have seen them here forested areas of Michigan and have had more trouble than usual in searching out this plant's identity.

    1. Hi, that is Polygonatum commonly known as Solomon Sea. It is a medicinal herb. A real beauty. Transplants well.

  8. JanBeek – Ennis, Montana – With Bob, my dear husband of 64 years (as of Feb.11), I continue to live a full life. Here in Montana, every day is a learning experience. Every day is a chance to reach out in love! With 8 1/2 decades of living under our belts, we’ve learned a thing or two about how to create the “Good Life” in our “Golden Years.” This blog is designed to share some of those tidbits with you. I aim to inspire more love, joy, peace, faith and unity. Hopefully, my blog will will give you a glimpse into how just “Loving One Another” has enhanced my time on earth - and I’ll encourage you to reach out to others with unconditional love, too. A recent blog follower said in her introduction, "My mode of operation is to make the ordinary of everyday extraordinary." I have to borrow that... In fact, borrowing ideas from others is one way to achieve the extraordinary. Feel free to borrow any of mine any time! I'd be honored. To God be the glory!! Welcome Aboard! (Oh, and last Feb. we added a new puppy to the mix... cuddly, lovable, feisty - but oh my goodness, he was not house or crate trained! We've fixed that.) Wish us luck with his chewing!! P.S. "Kenny" is making some progress - but it's slow on the learning what to and not to chew! Destroyed our new remote control!!

    Have a beautiful new day! I love that we all face that open gate. Walk on through!

    Love gates, the great metaphor for change. Walk through and what is waiting? Great post. Your format (photo and short poem) never fails!

  10. missraychanel84 – I’m an almost Philadelphian, who is getting used to my new reality and getting to know myself. I am a former flight attendant that has been groundstopped for the time being.

    This makes me want to run excitedly out of the gate, then stop abruptly and take a deep breath. Something about this reminds me of that story “The Secret Garden.”

  14. Cynthia Guenther Richardson – Pacific NW – Hello fellow readers and bloggers, Writing has always been a powerful connector to diverse ideas and people. We each are a meaningful part of this beautiful, ever-widening web of life. Blogging enables more interaction, which I love even after 11 years of blogging posts on three different sites. For thirty years I was an addictions/mental health counselor and also a manager of home care services for elderly folks. Now that I have hit 70 and am more devoted to a creative life! I've published online or in literary journals/collections several times, including fiction and creative non-fiction pieces and poetry over five decades. Additionally, I was nominated for a Pushcart Prize for an excerpt of my novel-in-progress, Other than Words (the work gathering dust at present), about a mute dancer and her impact on her adopted community and a world-travelling photojournalist. I also am working on a connected set of stories about a close-knit town in northern Michigan. On Wordpress I enjoy writing about living richly despite (or because of) life's setbacks and a diagnosis of heart disease at age 51. Posts tagged "memoir" share spiritual adventures, interactions with nature, the healing of trauma's impact and challenges of writing full-time. Short stories and creative nonfiction, and poetry are favorite genres but I enjoy sharing my photography as well My hope is my offerings reflect a profound faith in God and our humanness which cloaks spiritual natures. I include myself as part of the diverse group of writers who discover and share the illuminating, positive experiences amid life's uncertainties and hardships. Let me hear from you when you visit--I appreciate your comments a great deal. Blessings and regards, Cynthia
