Spent the weekend on Saltspring. Saw the family for my birthday, did a little nursery hopping and managed to sneak in a little gardening on my side project. Amongst all this I took in the sights, and generally took it easy. It’s interesting how the more time you spend with plants and nature the more you appreciate the quiet, “real” moments in life. Here I spent some time watching the birds enjoy their afternoon. Turn your volume up high and take a moment out from your busy day.





That was so calming a nice. Those little birds were so cute and skid-dish. Thank you, it made my day!
I find it very relaxing too. One of the few things that can take me away and quiet my mind. I’ve been lucky to spend a tonne of time with family this week. It’s nice to just stop and get away from everything.
Gardening definitely has a calming effect and makes you more appreciative of the simple things in life. The sense of serenity you gain is wonderful 🙂
