Marvellous.

Today’s sunrise was marvellous. I’m very blessed to be able to witness such beauty.

A peaceful morning.

How it is.

July 2022. The haskap has grown considerably and shares space with asparagus, strawberries, and sunflowers. Partly or completely obscured by the haskap and asparagus are Chocolate Cherry tomatoes, garlic, beans, tomatillos, broccoli, Chicago figs in pots.

Up against the foundation are ferns, more sunflowers, columbines, Purple Coneflowers, and more stuff I do not remember right now.

Some might call this untidy. Weedy. Even messy.

I say, less lawn to mow. More diverse. More welcoming to birds as well as pollinators and insects.

How it was.

May 2014. Pretty bare, lots of grass to mow. A little bitty haskap bush next to the stump of a Norway Maple we had removed.

As it rolled in.

A thunderstorm swept in Wednesday afternoon. I went outside to get a good look at the storm as it rolled in. Lightning began crackling and thunder roaring, so it was time to go inside.

Sunrise, May 05.

Although greeting every new day is a blessed event, this new day’s spectacle was truly remarkable and I’m thankful to have witnessed it.

A brilliant sunrise.

Coppery.

A lovely coppery-coloured morning.

Appropriately wintry.

An appropriately wintry scene.

Sunset.

Faye looked out the window last night and drew my attention to this spectacular sunset.
