Another sunny day and a longer walk in the garden. The Leopard Grass is looking good this year.

Agapanthus and Cosmos
I’m happy that I made it into the garden yesterday. Today it has rained almost all day.
American Sunflowers
I’ve been in the garden today! I’ll show you some pictures over the next few days. In the meantime, my SIL in Atlanta sent me these beautiful Sunflowers.
Cornish Sunset – Guest Post 1
I pre loaded my blog for a week thinking I’d be back on the case by now but recovery seems slower this time. A good friend is letting me use some of his beautiful photographs.
Here is A Cornish Sunset over South Crofty mine headgear.
Thank you very much, David.
Thank you to all of you who have been sending your love for a speedy recovery from my hip replacement operation and for the beautiful virtual flowers, Calvin.
A Poem and A Rose
I was introduced to a blog, Calm Things, recently where I found this poem among some beautiful quirky photographs.
Some People – Rolf Jacobsen
Some people
ascend out of our life, some people
enter our life,
uninvited and sit down,
some people
calmly walk by, some people
give you a rose,
or buy you a new car,
some people
stand so close to you, some people,
you’ve entirely forgotten
some people, some people
are actually you,
some people
you’ve never seen at all, some people
eat asparagus, some people
are children,
some people climb up on the roof,
sit down at table,
lie around in hammocks, take walks with their red
umbrella,
some people look at you,
some people have never noticed you at all, some people
want to take your hand, some people
die during the night,
some people are other people, some people are you, some people
don’t exist,
some people do.
Thank you to the people in my life. Here is a rose for you.

Family Heirlooms
It is time to pass some of these heirlooms on.

Brick collection
The old wooden trunk was my Dad’s. He trundled his books from Britain to Egypt to Bechuanaland in the Second World War and it is has another life now as a toy chest. Some of the toys in it were mine, many were our children’s and some are new for the Grand-babies.

Today was the absolute worst day ever
And don’t try to convince me that
There’s something good in every day
Because, when you take a closer look,
This world is a pretty evil place.
Even if
Some goodness does shine through once in awhile
Satisfaction and happiness don’t last.
And it’s not true that
It’s all in the mind and heart
Because
True happiness can be obtained
Only if one’s surroundings are good
It’s not true that good exists
I’m sure you can agree that
The reality
Creates
My attitude
it’s all beyond my control
And you’ll never in a million years hear me say that
Today was a good day.
Now please read from bottom to top.
