Hey Twinkling stars !
Hope spreading your light beautifully and making your existence successful .
Our winters are leaving slowly and temperature have drops from single unit to 15 to 13 to 26 plus .Days are glorious with soothing breeze and comforting sunrays . Living in a moment is beneficial when extremely hot summer is around the corner so i am enjoying the each drop of life from it's vast ocean :)
We are still having guests once in a while that are late to meet our son actually . It is nice to have family visiting us for whatever reason so i try to attend them cheerfully and serve them some good food i make. Presence of hubby on such occasions is helpful because i am the one who has to attend guests and cook food as well so if hubby is not around in such times it is hard to perform both duties nicely. Gladly he is home when guests come these days .
Sharing some old photos of flowers and sky along with three fresh images sent by my eldest son .I loved the place he visited in France for skiing and wanted to share ,hope you will like too.
the place where he stayed with friends ,after three working years in Munich my son got some nice opportunities to visit various countries and cities when he had to avoid renting house in London because he wanted to visit us before settling there so first he stayed in Lisbon for a month and then France and few weeks in Laos London hope i wrote the correct spelling . He liked this place and skiing activity most after Lisbon he told.
he told he and his friends learnt skiing soon though first two days everybody fall often but they started to ski well from third day ,the most annoying part was wearing layers of many clothes to protect from cold and it would take quite time and energy .
my son admired his ski instructor who was well learned man with amazing skills of teaching one of them was "patience" and he had it a lot .his ski teacher told he had visited many countries but likes here most and it makes him happier when people can ski well and soon
i am never tired to look at flowers and i hope your love for flowers is similar so i shared some old pics today as our recent plants are still taking time to bloom completely
i admit that gardening is hubby's responsibility completely and he know his job well though he takes some help to do it quickly from his acquaintance . I see how greatly hubby loves gardening and plants. When we were in old house it had no area for plants specially when huge house was divided into small portions so i would keep some plastic leaves hanging on our wall in tiny front yard ,hubby will look at it sometimes and say one day you will be having real plants around you hopefully and lots of them ,Love of Nature and plants is common in both of us for which i am so thankful.
sky is my another deep love and i love various patterns of clouds on sky and therefore i have so many such images which live in " google photos" though i had to delete most of them from my phone to free some space
I hope we will be able to visit Islamabad this summer ,i miss being there as Islamabad is lush and gorgeous capital city surrounded by foothills of Himaliya mountains .you can call it a big beautiful village equipped with all facilities
Free conscience lighten one's soul and makes him happier person
few week ago my eyes followed sunlight moving on the wall quickly ,in summers the pace of sunlight seems so slower than this in winter .moon is another fellow wondering about the matter :)
When i see family or couple i feel it is true reflection of "Nature" i wonder why :)
Blessings to all of you dear friends ,You have light so keep sprinkling it around you please :)
I always enjoy your beautiful photos of flowers. And that's a nice picture of you and your husband too! The only ski resort I've ever been to is Whistler, British Columbia. They held the Olympic ski/snowboard events there a few years ago for the Vancouver Olympics. But I was there one summer, LOL. But it's still busy in the summer because then it is a big mountain biking venue.
ReplyDeletei can feel you loved there and memories are refreshing :)
DeleteYou are so beautiful. Skiing in France what a treat. Love all of the flowers too. You have a blessed life.
ReplyDeletethank you so much dear Nichole
DeleteYour flowers always make me smile. Don’t you love the adventurous side of youth, ready to explore and try new things? Love those photos of your son, living his best life!
ReplyDeleteoh i would have loved too to be adventurous if i had less restricted life style i mean physically dear Marie ,i find life so short with numerous opportunities to explore and enjoy

DeleteThat's a lovely picture of you and hubby. Your son has had some wonderful adventures, I am glad he has good friends to share them with. Your flowers are lovely, a lot of men like gardening (my oldest brother does it for his job, landscaping rich peoples gardens and making eco/insect friendly havens).

DeleteBaili, it is always a joy to see the images you share, especially of your family! Such blessings in your life. And how wonderful a trip your son had. It is so much fun to try new things and visit new places. Blessings to you dear friend.
ReplyDeleteYou are so kind dear Martha
DeleteI enjoy visiting your blog and seeing what you share. I did not know your husband does the gardening at your house, how nice for you. I am the gardener at my house and just ordered flower seeds to plant this month. You have a lot of pretty flowers and how nice your son had a ski trip.
ReplyDeleteThank you dear Terra
DeleteHubby like gardening and this blessing that like me he too love to have lots of plantation around
So nice to see the photos of your son enjoying himself, Baili, and he is certainly having so many new experiences and seeing wonderful places. Thanks for sharing them with us in your post! Your husband does a wonderful job with the flowers and it does show in your photos and your enjoyment of them. It was lovely to see the photo of you and your husband together and it is apparent that you have a wonderful relationship.
ReplyDeleteWe are so pleased dear Dorothy that our son got opportunity to explore the world. It was our dream but it is greater joy to see our baba is able to do so by the grace of God
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your son on learning skying so quickly :-) Beautiful pictures of your family!
ReplyDeleteAll the best!
Dear Baili - I like the hotel your eldest son stayed in French skiing resort; red colors spice up the landscape. I can share your feeling; so happy to see our children (and grandchildren) challenge new things. Skiing was one of my favorite sports in my youth and I went to Japan Alps region for nice powder snow. When I got somewhat skillful, I felt like that I was a bird flying over the snow slopes. How fortunate you are to have such a cooperative husband with a green thumb. The flowers are so beautiful. The clouds formation in the sky, too.

ReplyDeleteHi, Baili! It is always a delight to see your family photos and the lovely flowers that your husband tends. Your eldest son is making good use of his time in Europe to travel around and experience new things.
ReplyDeleteI tried ski lesson back in 1980. On my third lesson on a very cold night in Calgary, I fell and really injured my knee. Later I tried it again after I met Terry. I was too scared. So, I decided the sport wasn't for me. I'm glad that your son did well with his lessons and is enjoying skiing, because it is a wonderful sport.
You must tell Ali for me that he has created an oasis of beauty with his flowers. I recognize almost all the types of flowers, because generations of my family have planted the same flowers in Nova Scotia and other places. Actually, I know all the flowers he has planted. I miss having a flower garden, especially since I miss being able to cut some of them and bring them into the house to put in a vase. We travel too much to have a garden.
We're back in Hawaii. We had a quick two-week stop at home. It was filled with snowstorms and doctors appointments, unpacking and packing, and catching up with paperwork and errands. We're very happy to be back in Hawaii. This time we have an apartment on the 28th floor of a high-rise about two blocks from the beach. We have a lanai or balcony which looks out over the ocean and a canal. We have the doors and windows open almost all the time.
Sending you lots of love and big hugs!
