Thoughtful


For a previous birthday, friends gave me five beautiful    old moss covered cement urns
for my garden..
each urn came with a special wish:
 it included  Blessings, Love, Joy, and Good health 


I enjoy changing the plants in them
 as the seasons change...
these below was last winter, 
potted lilies
on a private roof garden  off our bedroom




Sunset earlier tonight....
I do love this time of the year,
 perfect summer evenings...
hard to imagine that our first winter rain is expected in about  six weeks 
 the huge old oak trees will once again have 
bare branches like in the previous image..

Have a lovely week
 Colx 

with every change of season,every change of plants,
 I smile happy and content to think of my dear friends and this special thoughtful  gift.

Your urns are so very lovely Colette - and those pretty chairs with the heart backs simply divine. I can imagine you setting it up for an evening dinner party.
Have a lovely week.
