It is easy to live with the seasons when you have a garden. Everything is asleep during winter, well, almost asleep, then spring comes with a wonderful awakening, with new, fresh energy, summer is overwhelming in all her beauty, then old age and silver hair comes with autumn. Nature is waiting, savouring the afternoon and the night to come. Preparing for a long sleep.
Silver hair, perfect with grey and pastell colours. Old age and silver hair and a promise of new growth.
It is time to prepare spring in the garden. Bulbs with a promise of tulips in a lovely palette of colours, crocuses, daffodills, scillas, muscatis and snowdrops. I dig in the wet soil, my fingers get the best perfume there is from lavender, rose petals and herbs, my heart sings.
Autumn is filled with promises. Winter is for rest and sleep, spring is when you fall in love, summer is for dancing.........
......autumn must be for living. Simple living.
Live simple so that others might simply live. Not my words originally, but try a google search and you will come up with 1001 different sources. So let's just make the words our owns.
