This year’s garden is already bringing me so much joy. It’s like a little Indian jewel box.

May the pure light within you guide your way on…

The magnolia tree outside my window is in full bloom. Song is Blame It On My Stars, by Evrshde.


Here are some of my late spring garden flowers posing in a little vintage vase. The vase is from Soho Pottery and the design is “Sunningdale.” It was made around 1935. I bought it from an antique shop on Guisborough high street for my mum’s birthday in 1981. The music is Souvenir – by Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark and Moby.


Yesterday, it felt like the evil prevalent in the world right now was sucking all the oxygen from the air making it hard to breathe. I stepped into my garden to spend some time with my flowers for respite. Their colours brought me some joy.
All throughout the fall I’ve been chasing the zebra longwing butterfly trying to get a photo. Then to my surprise, after some frigid temperatures and a frost or two, one turned up in my garden on December 11th. We had a nice visit with one another.
