miffy Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 just got soaked, its been pouring with rain for hours with no let up. I had been waiting for a lull before I shut the girls in but no lull so off I went, shut them in, bought the food and pecka blocks in then had to go up the top of the garden to shut the polytunnel up. From the top I could see the mist all around, dusky light all around, the apple and pear trees blossom heavy on the branches and I just thought......what a wonderful world...its so beautiful I just stood and enjoyed the moment...and got soaked...

Redwing Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 There is nothing better than looking at the outside world! Earlier this week I had a puncture in one of my tyres and had to drive on it for two days, not allowed to go over 50mph I drove the 65 mile round trip to work on A roads, its amazing how much you see when you are not whizzing down a motorway, it put me in a really good mood for a couple of days!

miffy Posted April 24, 2009 Author Share Posted April 24, 2009 I know what you mean Redwing, folk fly along never seeing whats around them, if only they could slow down the world would be a better place for them and everyone else Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeckyBoo Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 That feeling when you suddenly stop and take a breath and really see what's around you is just amazing, makes you feel alive, and glad to be so. Last time I had it was walking the dog last Friday, it was misty and a bit murky so the fields weren't full of dog walkers, I'd had a really busy two days with loads of children around which was great fun, but then just for an hour or so I was child free whilst they were at a party. Just me and the dog, all the sound was muffled, I made the effort not to take the path the whole time but to push through branches and brush past the bushes, I reckon raindrops knocked from leaves onto your nose are better for your inner beauty than any amount of Oil of Olay . I filled my lungs with damp air, my arms were chilly as I made myself take my jumper off even though it was cool, we tramped along smelling the blackthorn, the bluebells and the damp air and that's when I felt good to be alive The full moon somewhere where there's no street lights, or by the sea, that gets me going too BeckyBoo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 One of the (many) reasons I love having chickens is that I now see so much more in the garden. Pre-chicken I would barely have gone out there between October and March, but now of course I see every new bulb emerging in the spring and notice the changes every day. I'd say that the time I spend out there in winter is just as enjoyable - nothing like seeing the garden in frost, and spotting the wild birds.

Tiggy Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 I love early mornings once the days get longer, I sit on my steps watching the chickens and talking to the cats with a cuppa before I go to work its lovely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chook n Boo Mum Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 DH took a batch of photos of the children when they were tiny in the bluebell woods near here - oh so gorgeous! Some of them are in huge frames behind the computer where I am sitting. DD is about 3-4 in the pics, so very cute & cheeky with little round cheeks & lots of dimples and blonde hair with kinks & ringlets.......thoroughly adorable !

bluekarin Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 I love bluebells. When I was about 7 we lived near to a woods which had carpets of them and I loved walking through them all. In fact, I think after the citys St Georges day celebration tomorrow, I think we will go back there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
