Hazy Shade of Winter
Song by The Bangles

Time, time, time,
See what’s become of me
Time, time, time,
See what’s become of me
While I looked around for my possibilities.
I was so hard to please.
Look around,
Leaves are brown,
And the sky is a hazy shade of winter.
Hear the Salvation Army band.
Down by the riverside
Bound to be a better ride
Than what you’ve got planned.
Carry your gun in your hand.
Look around,
Leaves are brown,
And the sky is a hazy shade of winter.
Hang on to your hopes, my friend.
That’s an easy thing to say,
But if your hopes should pass away
Simply pretend that you can build them again.
Look around,
The grass is high,
The fields are ripe,
It’s the springtime of my life.
Seasons change with the scenery;
Weaving time in a tapestry.
Won’t you stop and remember me
Look around,
Leaves are brown,
And the sky is a hazy shade of winter.
Look around,
Leaves are brown,
There’s a patch of snow on the ground.
Look around,
Leaves are brown,
There’s a patch of snow on the ground.
Look around,
Leaves are brown,
There’s a patch of snow on the ground.

@oodiebom,

No worries warmer days are coming. 😎

Co-Creating with Nature

To co-create, we must first begin with a foundation of mutual respect.

Gardens offer us a perfect opportunity to reconnect to our true selves and remember our place in the natural world. Rather than approach our gardens as mere investments of energy, we can look at the entire process of gardening, from planting seeds to harvesting food, as a way of deepening our conscious relationship with the creative force of the universe. If we are willing to shift our intention from dominating, or at least directing nature, to co-creating with nature instead, we may discover a deep peace and renewed sense of wonder.

To co-create we must first begin with a foundation of mutual respect. As you create your garden in partnership with nature, you can respect the earth, water, insects and animals by using organic seeds, soil and fertilizers. You can also communicate with the plants, insects and elements involved in your garden, and create a regular practice of stillness to listen for any messages they may have for you. When it comes time for harvesting fresh vegetables or picking beautiful blooms, you might even ask permission first. If you ask with an open heart, you will always receive an answer.

Imagine what it would be like to surrender certain aspects of your human world to the precision and surety of the natural environment. You might decide, for example, to forego your calendar and plant in rhythm with the cycles of the moon. Or, you might choose to ignore clock time and water your garden when the sun hits a certain position in the sky. By opening your garden experience to more of nature’s input, you can become available to witness a whole universe of miracles, while engendering a greater sense of honor between the two worlds.

When we recognize ourselves as allies, co-creators, with the earth and the natural world, our relationship to our environment begins to change. We no longer feel the need to control the circumstances around us and can relish in the perfection of all that is. 😎

Good afternoon to you. 48 in Florida. Brr.. And yes, it is a shopping day. Farmers market is at the top of the !ist. I just read in MSN news where they are finding that those who eat fish with Omega 3’s and vitamins with the Omega’s are less likely to get a real bad case of covid. The findings showed that those with little to none were the ones hospitalized. We had those on the cruise.

Trivia tonight. Again, a week that seemed to fly by.

Guess I will have brunch and get the day started. See you in a few hours.

@kittengirl,

@shoelady60,

Good Afternoon in the ‘burgh. 😘💕I hope you found a nice jacket for Jake. 😘😎
Niece is still in the hospital the reason she has not set foot in high school is because
all the schools are closed in Colorado. This should be the best time of her young life.

Wishing you and hubby a good and safe weekend so glad he is on the mend from Covid-19.

Enjoy the family if the weather permits please stay safe. Give Jake a nice OZ pet. 😘

How is your son? I know he misses his grandmother. 🌹💕

Is it still raining in California? If you can enjoy the cooler weather just relax.

Taci if you are able to go hiking enjoy the view now more than ever.

@taci

Thank you on the mam.

I know there is tons to do for your mom’s estate. I had a house included basement and full attic chock full of wonderful memories. To make the estate easier I bought a small notebook for info that I would need for taxes and other things. Her accountant was a huge help. Her attorney, not so much. I ended up doing a great deal of leg work on my own. Oh, almost forgot, I also had a metal box to keep records in. This included insurance policies,, death certificates, bank accountants, keys to safe deposit boxes, any stock certificates, funeral expenses, etc.. All of which came in handy and easy to locate. I was the only child so had no one to rely on except myself. Definitely ask for the death certificate and see how many you can obtain in the original. A few places may ask for an original and not a copy. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask.

If you ever want to hike again in Arizona, you may wish to stay at your mom’s place. It makes you feel better and it’s as if she is there with you. I also gave a momento to those who worked with my mom.

@bichon18,
