Garden bliss













Lately, I have been feeling that the existence of our country home has
 turned into something of a tease. Only twenty minutes away, yet we 
rush in and out of it as if in a game of chase with
 time, happiness, serenity.
 We didn’t always use to lead a hectic life that forces us to 
continuously restrict leisure time.
 My verdict: make the most of short visits and 
feel okay with this. 
When stepping into the country yard there is always a slice of 
time, as thin as it may be, to squeeze for a little creative bliss.
 Penetrating into the peacefulness of an ever-changing and 
ever-evolving natural wonderland, you have nothing
 but to turn yourself off and surrender to the intimacy 
of your garden.Though it may seem simple, all it takes is
 a vissinatha (homemade cherry juice), a piece of lemon cake
 and a ball of yarn. As my Belgian friend Brigitte has taught me, 
I strive to be inspired by the garden blooms and transport
 the colour combinations I find around me to my crochet project.
 Perhaps you must forget yourself in such kind of process
 in order to find yourself and feel content.

Wishing you to enjoy many summer moments in a forgetful bliss.

Happy Summer everyone!

  4. Hi Olympia

    So sweet of you to mention me and my desire to shape my crochet into the colours of the flowers in our garden.

    I absolutely adore your little get away garden with all the sparkling colours ...and what do I see in your grand pictures? You do not only grow flowers but also MEN in your garden of Eden. WOW! Must come and learn soon. :)

    Lots of love from the Belgian woman

  11. Bonjour chère amie,

    Quel plaisir que de vous lire ! Votre publication respire le bonheur.
    Vos photos sont superbes. Une avalanche de couleurs, de lumière et de senteurs qui ne me laissent pas indifférente. Un petit coin tout à fait serein où il fait bon se trouver... Ce fauteuil qui me tend les bras, j'en profite pour m'assoir ! Je dégusterais volontiers une part de gâteau ! Voilà que je m'invite ! Je me sens si bien que je m'autorise à vous tutoyer si vous me le permettez bien sûr !
    Un grand merci pour cette jolie publication. Merci aussi pour ton adorable petit mot laissé sur mon blog.

    Gros bisous à toi.

  21. Hello everyone, my name is Monicca, am from Norwalk California, I want to share with you how I got my boyfriend back with the help of a spell caster.My boyfriend left me for a girl,he did not want to see me,he hated me so much,i was so devastated and my life was in a mess, I loved him so much,i did not know what to do. One of my friend told me about a spell caster, that he will help me get him back, so I contacted him and he told me what to do, he assured me that my boyfriend will come back to me. After he worked on the spell, three days later, my boyfriend called me, he said he want me back in his life, I was so shocked and happy, I agreed and ever since then,we have been living happily,.Thanks to priest,my boyfriend is back with me. If you need your ex back or any type of spell, please contact him
