At home: Rest your head in the grass.....x

I have other pictures to post today. I took better ones, including a sunset. This one is the most important. For the first time since last year or possibly longer I lay on the grass.

It shouldn't be the most significant thing of the year, but it just is. It marks lots of things. Certainly it is the mark that summer is nearly here and with that comes so much more outdoor life. I sit out at lunchtime with my sandwich and a cup of tea. Eva chews a bone nearby. The sun glowing through my skin. I feel like a sunflower raising my face towards it. Replenishing the months of dull wintery tones with bright colourful light. I lay back in the grass. The smell...so earthy, sweet, moist. Its a returning to the earth smell. So natural. Its a must for everyone to find long grass just to smell and feel the ground again.

The sounds are the best...For that moment when your back is on the grass , you hear nature amplified. Birds singing overlapping, interrupting. Rustling insects. I fear for a moment that they are under my head. I close my eyes, I really dont care. I am tranquillised by the sun and the spot.

Do grass........ you have to! ......x
