“And into the woods I go, to lose my mind and find my soul.”
Magandang buhay!
What a lovely morning down here in DD. I could hardly believe it was already midweek. Whew! Time flies (or maybe it's just me).
Anyway, the Lil Guy and I spent some time in the woods in the other town just before noon Monday while waiting for the hubby to run some errands. The sun was scorching hot so we sought shelter under the tall trees where we enjoyed the fresh air and the fragrance of the pines.

Also, I was delighted with the little things found in the area, like the curling ferns which although a common sight in most places, never cease to amaze me. They are a wonder in their real colors but I thought they look great in black and white.

I was awed to see the new life sprouting from the dry ground - several very young trees growing, pushing through the brown stuff (fallen pine needles and cones).

Meanwhile, the Alstroemerias (Peruvian Lilies) at our first abode are blooming. They are the only surviving plants in the neglected yard, which a couple of years ago, was thriving with different plants, flowering or not. That is hardly the sight today, but thank goodness for these lilies, a few bonsai citrus trees, blackberries, and yeah, the weeds for giving it some colors.

It's been years since we last lived there and while we go home to it every week, I spend most of my time at my folks' house. I did manage to pull out some unwanted plants (radishes and weeds) on Monday morning after my night duty. Quite an achievement, I'd say😅

It's crazy that some things I loved and enjoyed doing in the past feel like heavy tasks for me now. The only reason I could think of is that my priorities and interests have changed. Well, at least I still take time to reconnect with myself and the universe through such short walks😊

There are wonders around us that we sometimes miss. We have to take the time to observe so we can enjoy these wonders. I love the photos. !BBH
That is very true. With today's fast-paced life and distractions, we tend to miss things around us. Thank you !LADY💗
Nature never fails to amazed us. Kahit simpleng halaman nagiging napakaganda if we know how to appreciate😁.

Nature is simply beautiful. Only that we either get too busy or don't have the patience to look what exactly is near us.
Those lilies looks so beautiful with its colour.
Indeed. We need to pause (intentionally) and observe the things around us to appreciate them. Thank you !LADY💗
That purple flower is really nice... It's pretty normal it doesn't feel pleasant to do garden clean up 🤣
Haha, you're right about that, although I used to love cleaning up the garden before.😂
