Dreams of glass houses

Today we walked to the Royal Botanic Gardens and it was so lovely. It was just the misty cool weather that I enjoy. Once in the gardens the birds were singing and I realized how much I missed the birds from home. There are places like the ocean and now the sea that restore me and botanical gardens can be added to that list. I do not think of myself as much of a nature person but when I am without I realize the importance to my well being. I love trees, grass, shrubs, rocks, running water, birds, fresh air. I like variations on all these things.

I live "downtown" in my small town, but as many of you know from blips past my yard is wild and the birds sings constantly. The Botanic garden was just what I needed and just like after the day I spent on the sea, I feel revitalized.

I also bought crazy amounts of aromatherapy stuff at the garden gift shop and some chocolates infused with whisky! So I think I would be feeling peaceful regardless, but hell... those chocolates are heaven!

There were many charity shops browsed on the way back home - a tea pot was found! And we stopped into this pottery/gallery I had just read about and we bought two pieces of ceramics- just gorgeous work by Lara Scobie.

Any day that ends with new art is a good one.
