Monday Thoughts…

I was looking for an image to start my week… Something awe inspiring, or maybe one to kick start some enthusiasm? I have to admit that I didn’t start the day well. The thought of another day, struggling to come up with new ideas that work was not the best way to start. Bad enough…

Macro Monday… #autumnleaves
The beginning of a new week, and the arrival of Autumn. The signs are everywhere I look, so time to get around to some of those jobs that shouldn’t wait until the Spring… Time to make sure my bonsai are comfortable and ready for their winter sleep. They are not shedding leaves yet, so I…

Mother Nature seems to be holding her breath at the moment. Leaves are not falling yet, but they won’t be long.

My babies need me!

These are not mine, but I wish… I am temporarily unable to go outside (my sister is still unmovable about this), and I do understand her caution. However, having done both, I don’t think there’s much difference between falling on concrete and falling on carpet. I have had some spectacular falls, but the one that…

The Winter Bonsai… @Bonsai

I don’t know about the rest of you, but I am getting tired of looking out my window and finding nothing interesting. I have a row of bare twigs in pots, bravely surviving the cold and miserable grey weather. It looks cold out here, and I can feel the chill through the glass. On my…
