“With a few flowers in my garden, half a dozen pictures, and some books, I live without envy.” Lope de Vega
I found this quote in an email from the woman’s club I left behind at my old home. While I miss my friends back home, this thought made me smile. It’s exactly how I feel. I’m very content at home with my plants, wildlife, photos and books.
Here are some of my new friends. I enjoyed meeting them other night when we barbecued. But the jojoba bushes weren’t quite as thrilled.
Speaking of birds, I’m excited about a bird feeder my son’s company is helping come to life. It uses AI to identify birds who visit your backyard. Here’s a link to find out more. The creator has raised more than $5.7 million. I guess there are a lot of us who want help bird watching!
What makes your life content? What simple pleasures make you happy?
Very beautiful backyard ! 🤗⚘ We enjoy birdwatching and we have a ‘pet’ Seagull who has come here for snacks since 2017.
Thank you! I miss my old backyard which was beautiful in a whole different style. I’ve never been to your area but would love to explore it. My aunt lived there when I was around 12-14 years old. She invited me to visit and I wish I would have taken her up on the invite.
Oh, that is interesting that your aunt lived in Newfoundland.
It is a ruggedly beautiful place.
The pool in your backyard looks so peaceful.
You are blessed. 🤗
It’s peaceful when coyotes aren’t on the wall, or a bobcat on the overhang. I’m enjoying them too!
Cup of tea. Book. Heated neck wrap. My pets.
