Comforting

Right now a lot of people have feelings of anxiety...

You can find some comfort by listening to your favourite music, looking at
a nice painting or sculpture, reading a beautiful poem or book etc.
It will reduce your stress levels immediately.

In our brain experiencing beauty is connected to "trust"
and therefore to the belief everything is going to be okay.

It might take some practice if your not used to see beauty in "normal" things.
If you really try you can find beauty everywhere around you!

Take care of yourself and the ones around you and be save!

Special One

"specialleke"

(Flemish for special one)

We have some small patches of white wood anemones.

And then the kenderman spotted a single lilac one...

Wow!

Let's enjoy this Spring weekend!!!!

Quote

Last night my dad sent me an email beginning with a, to me moving, sentence:

- Al is onvermijdelijkheid voorzien... daarmee wordt aanvaarding niet vanzelfsprekend -

- Even when the inevitable is foreseen, acceptance isn't guaranteed -
(translation credit to my brother)

Beauty

Because of the late spring a lot of plants are starting to flower at the same time.

This wood anemone is such a real beauty!

Garden

Anemone nemorosa (wood anemone)

Fritillaria meleagris

We have lots of those in our very wet field.

Just wait and see the flower opening........

Narcissus Snipe?

The first little star.
Just 10 cm in height.
The trumpet is still very yellow but it will fade into lemon, finally into white.
I'll keep you posted.

Corylus maxima 'Purpurea'
Purple Haze Hazel
This is the reason why the red squirrel visits us in autumn.
The beautiful buds and leaves in spring are as much a delight as the squirel in autumn!
