Absorbed in the moment....



“An inexhaustible good nature is one of the most precious gifts of heaven, spreading itself like oil over the troubled sea of thought, and keeping the mind smooth and equable in the roughest weather.”-- Washington Irving (American Writer called the first American man of letters. Best known for the short stories, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow and Rip Van Winkle. 1783-1859)

As much as I love days when the Sun is beaming and the air is warm, I can't help but feel a calmness when I see the sky like this. Sitting in the car park, with our thermos filled with hot chocolate, accompanied with maybe ginger snaps or a box of Hawaiian Host Macadamia Nut Chocolates.... or (what do you see yourself doing?)

On Mothering Sunday... 2007


For the man sound in body and serene of mind there is no such thing as bad weather; every sky has its beauty, and storms which whip the blood do but make it pulse more vigorously.-- George Gissing


This was a stormy day! Extremely strong winds and heavy rain, but all I could think was how beautiful it all looked!
