Thank you Danusha! I too keep remembering important things then having them slip away in a busy distractable life then remembering them again next time I stop and slow down my thinking. I’ve been watching birds - parrots called rosellas as shockingly bright as your begonias - in my garden, pairs of them checking out the nesting box I’ve put up, like two people inspecting a new potential rental property. In and out they go and my thoughts loosen and spill again like they used to! Here’s to swooping, blooming and staying curious! C.
Beautiful. I feel you on forgetting and remembering. We didn't plant a tomato garden this year--which I feel bad about, as though growing tomatoes is a moral issue--but 3 plants "volunteered" from last year. Their scraggly presence is a reminder that abundance is just a gift.
I hope you and Armando are feeling better now. Moving house is never fun, but especially not so when you aren’t well. Ah, begonias and coleus—two favorites in our gardens here in Maryland. Gardens and poetry! What a great combination.
Gardenias!
Music! I forget over and over again how certain music makes me sigh and settle into myself. Thank you for the invitation to remember this.

I hope you feel better and settle into your new home soon. Plants do the trick, keeping us grounded to a place.
You’ve reminded to feed my begonias this morning. They are a double bloom variety. That are shy to bloom this summer.
Thank you for your comforting words. I forget realizations minutes after I come upon them. But they always circle back.

Hope you and Armando feel better. Your flowers are beautiful! Enjoy the smiles they bring.
We need to see you soon. Our plan, now that I am also well again, is to drive up and visit. Let us know a good time. xoxox d&j
