Things We Love 2. A way of sharing some of the things I love with kindred spirits. Thursday, June 26, 2014. I wait expectantly for some of these perennials, but this year the iris by the pond surprised me. I'd forgotten all about this one, and it unfolded so beautifully. (June 6). Unfortunately my variegated miniature iris has disappeared entirely. The poppies popped and their show was done by June 13, but I had the Beauty Bush to console me from the 12th to 25th. What a scent! Links to this post. The ne...

Things We Love 2. A way of sharing some of the things I love with kindred spirits. Sunday, May 31, 2015. Early May I planted some natives. May flower and bunch berry). During the May long weekend 50 nasturtium. Found places, along with Jack Frost bergenia. Alex and Rob planted a Trompenburg Japanese Maple that was tagged to show growth of 1 meter wide to 1 meter tall, but when I googled it, other sources project 3 meters in height. The tree peony was truly amazing this year! May apple (May 28). Two days ...

Things We Love 2: Motor Home
http://thingswelove2.blogspot.com/2015/08/motor-home.html
Things We Love 2. A way of sharing some of the things I love with kindred spirits. Monday, August 10, 2015. Murray Canal East Inlet. We are not tempting fate and keeping the jib furled until we can get it properly fixed in our home port. So far conditions haven't been right to sail by the main. All this motoring is giving us a bit of a taste of what it would be like with a trawler, put-put-put-ting along. Definitely not the same flying feeling, but pleasant enough. Day 9 - Waupoos to Belleville / Meyers ...

Things We Love 2. A way of sharing some of the things I love with kindred spirits. Monday, July 28, 2014. Back-to-back this weekend, there were two celebrations. One to mark the milestone of an 85th birthday, the other to mark the end of a life well lived. Two separate events in the same BPYC clubhouse, attended by many of the same people in our little community. Dick's party was Sunday. He will have to update his blog. Links to this post. Sunday, July 20, 2014. I needed a seriously good read. Someth...

Things We Love 2. A way of sharing some of the things I love with kindred spirits. Monday, April 27, 2015. The bloodwort is unfurling and the tree peony is budding. Tulips and daffodils are joining the crocus and snowdrops. I did a bit of maintenance - pruning away the seedpods of the peony and the old growth on the hellebore; identifying branches to prune later in the season on the Japanese maple. Links to this post. Sunday, April 26, 2015. Links to this post. Sunday, April 19, 2015. I would want to rev...

Things We Love 2. A way of sharing some of the things I love with kindred spirits. Tuesday, March 31, 2015. Yoda was a yogi. Try not. Do. Or do not. There is no try." Yoda was definitely a yogi - this is great advice for pranayama. Other insights from the past 30 days include previous glimpses but are useful reminders to myself. These should be mantras for my pranayama practise:. The brain is not the mind is not the breath. You do not ‘do’ pranayama. Pranayama does you. Over the last month, m. A four let...
