...taking five...


Sometimes all you need to do is to sit under those wrinkly old  fruit laden limbs of the mulberry tree...Just for a few moments, in that cool green space made with the flat leaves that look like someone's cut them out with pinking shears
...And remind yourself, that it's ok to take five...

...So don't forget that it's when you think that you don't have time to do so, that you really should...

Take care of yourself

  2. I hope you take your own advice and rest up in between the boxing up of rooms and such! lovely place to sit and ponder and maybe daydream a little bit.

    1. I felt that I was missing the summer and needed to just have a little break and enjoy the calming green.

  3. These photos *feel* cool and green, fragrant and peaceful. I'm so glad that in the midst of the busyness of moving you are finding moments of tranquility and refreshment. ♥ I love the candle chandelier suspended from the branch above, and the green wicker seat--what a delightful bower!

    1. I love shade especially when there's dappled light from the sun. I've just noticed that the candles look a little drunk! It feels so safe and comforting when you are covered by the big umbrella of green leaves Susan. I love it.

  4. Oh, what a lovely spot to "take five"! I can almost feel the cool breeze and smell the fragrance in the air. The candle chandelier is perfect. I hope that you will be able to take a few minutes to rest in this peaceful spot you have created.

    1. The honey suckle blossom is still out and smelt amazing. A lovely little oasis in the sticky heat.
