On letting go of expectations..The Camellia, Thunder Bay


To quote Cookie Monster,  "Today me will live in the moment unless it's unpleasant in which case me will eat Cookie!!" It's true, we all have unpleasant days, those blah days when you just want to go back to bed, and then wake up and find out it was all a bad dream. but just one look at this cheery Sunflower bloom from last year's Garden ... and you start to feel a tiny bit better. It's always hard to let go of expectations, and it's crushing when you realize that it is what it is, no matter how much you wish otherwise. Like our weather this Summer, which now feels like Fall.



 All this rain has led to much grass cutting and my grapevine has grown to gignormous heights. May have to cut some of it to make a wreath.







 We must remind ourselves that Life is Beautiful.





 Garden lilacs, burlap, hearts and old windows.





 We have a Vegan dog,he loves tomatoes and zucchini, and beans and cukes. ...












 We have Canadian Soy candles out at the store, they smell wonderful!





 Saying Good-bye to Summer.
