"The universe is always speaking to us...sending us little messages, causing coincidences and serendipities, reminding us to stop, to look around, to believe in something else, something more."
― Nancy Thayer

The light takes my breath away, and the dog makes me laugh. We eat from the garden and I clip flowers to bring inside.

Morning shadows and light.
“Sometimes we just have to cut off the dead branches in our life. Sometimes that's the only way we can keep the tree alive. It's hard and it hurts, but it's what's best.”
― Nicole Williams, Lost & Found
I do a little dance around this hydrangea in my garden, as I feared I had lost it to the unusual bitter cold weather of last year’s winter. Come spring I had to prune several dead branches out, leaving the middle a bit bare and the bush a bit lopsided.
But the bush is flourishing, and once again I learn something about myself thorough my garden. I see where there are dead and unwanted branches in my life too, and I set out to remove them. Along the way I prune some things back, allowing for new growth in new directions. It is a bit uncomfortable, but who knows, I just might bloom.
As far as what I do love, I love birds; I love lavender.
- Michael Moore
I find a couple of house finches in the lavender bushes last night after dinner. I follow suit, picking some to put on my bedside table.
