Well worth their cost!

At $30 a piece these are well worth the cost. The sharp thorns will discourage the U of G students from stealing our flowers & decorations (have lost so-o-o many things to the drunken U of Goo Hooligans!) - will stop the neighboring parents from laying their bikes along the property line when dropping their kids at school ( You won't believe what those adults did to our fence! It was such a pretty fence!) And will discourage neighbor dogs from eliminating on the garden proper. (Such is the urban nature of our little front garden!) That combined with the colourful antics of the plant itself really put them in a class of highly useful planting material!

In summer the plants have a distinctive mottled leaf of green, white and pink. Come fall they take on their pretty glow and then turn a deeper red-purple until their leaves are ready to fall in winter!

It's like having several plants in one. I call it our animated hedge!

Go Forth in Excited Anticipation - that new ideas will bubble forth!

This quote is one that really resounds with me today!



There is nothing that you're wanting to know that you do not have the capacity to understand fully. And there is nothing that you're wanting to know that the Universe does not already know that you want to know, and has already begun the process of answering. And so, go forth in excited anticipation that the new ideas will continue to bubble forth, and that the Universal Forces will continue to come forth in loving, benevolent, eternal answering to that which you are about. There is great love here for you. We are complete
--- Abraham



Esther and Jerry Hicks share excerpts from their workshops and seminars as daily quotes. Some days the quotes are incredibly in tune with where my own thinking is focusing. Love that Synchronicity!


Enjoy your own going forth and receiving in this miraculous world of ours!


With love,

In Tension or Intentions; Through the 10-10-10 Gateway, Choose Your Focus



These are incredibly creative times. You may have noticed the quickening pace of the physical world we live in, this is now heightened by the shortening daylight hours in the Northern Hemisphere. Are you feeling tense, witnessing the tensions of those around you or frightened by the tensions that seem to keep rising in all corners of the earth? You are not alone! Conflict, frustration and anger seem to be the by-product of our evolutionary spiral into the next levels of human experience and co-creation! Choosing your focus wisely in these times can help you through!

In a recent gathering with many gifted lightworkers we learned to help ourselves through this "Eye of The Needle" in human history by focusing on what we wish to create in our experience. To focus intently, using our inner guidance to help us feel those creative intentions as if they already exist on the physical plane. To even intensify those thoughts and feelings with emotional strength, pushing gently against the veil and using the intense creative forces of the 2nd dimensional levels to help catapult our intentions and desires through to the 5th dimensions in manifestation.

Focus on what you want from life, in life, for life. Other focuses will charge your experience with the tensions and fears that are swirling in the mass consciousness and you may find yourself angry, confused and frustrated, caught in a vortex of fear generated in the 4th dimension. Be careful what you wish for, as these are potent, energetic times and the universe wants only to grant you your souls' desire - be sure you are clear on your focus, in your best and highest good, as the universe is poised to deliver whatever you are calling to you.

Take heart in knowing there are cosmic energetics helping to add light in what can be these dark, heavy days. Recent solar flares and the presence of Hartley 2, a relatively new comet  currently gracing our dark night skies are showering our world in cosmic love, starseeds and light energies and can assist us in maintaining a sense of grace & ease in the midst of turmoil and chaos.

Additional help can be found in neighborhood spiritual groups, if one doesn't exist in your area try getting a few friends together to help each other. On the internet you will find a wide range of self help, self development, spirituality and lightworker resources and groups that can provide a virtual gathering of like-minded people. Let your heart guide you to where the information you need at this time can be found. One site that is comprised of meditations and classes aimed to help those inspired to serve the greater good for Gaia and human kind is Katherine Wright Desai's web site; Vitability.com/Aquarian Energy Healing and the page the preceding link will take you to features attunements, including one for the 10-10-10 gateway as well as others in the archives.
You can listen to the class we attended Thursday evening, where (links are listed below) we worked specifically on helping strengthen our ability to stay in a state of grace and ease, to be energized with love and joy and less affected by the chaotic energies of the masses.

It is a powerful meditation and discussion that can help settle some of the nervous, edgy energies you may be feeling and can be listened to several times for added benefit and full advantage. It can also serve as a sampler for you if you are searching for an on line resource and gathering place in which to develop your world service skills and contacts. I have experienced several guided meditations and classes and have enjoyed very positive effects from the work I have participated in. Feel free to explore if you are guided!

Here in Canada we are also celebrating our Thanksgiving holiday this weekend and it seems the timing is perfect given the gratitude I feel to be so fortunate to be able to participate both in our family celebrations and in celebrating the ushering in of a new age of humanity through the 10-10-10 celestial gateway. It is truly an amazing time in history and to participate in such positive endeavors helps all of us, helps our earth and our existence as we face the challenges of the human spirits' evolution in our lifetimes! 
Life is awesome! Live it like you LOVE it!

To my Canadian visitors; Have yourselves a very Happy, Healthy, Joy-Filled Thanksgiving and Thank You for dropping in for a visit!

With love,
...from the garden

Walk in the garden.blogspot.com; a photo blog

It's our belief the Earth on which we live is truly an Enchanted Garden. Nature has a magical way of creating and sustaining itself, usually with an incredible abundance and variety of expression. This is actually the natural way of the world we live in, despite human attempts to rally against or fight or ignore nature.

A Photo-Blog with a fun and quirky flavor, including some digital artwork, inspirations, experiments and the stories behind them giving some insight into how a couple of happy gardeners view our backyard and our world!
Visiting is just like taking a Walk In The Garden

We planned our landscaping to reflect our appreciation for the natural world and the desire to observe nature up close by making use of native plant varieties, allowing seed bearing plants to stand as feed for wildlife and creating a healthy micro-environment for them. Sometimes even the garden visitors: mainly birds and squirrels leave seeds and bulbs that surprise us later on!

I enjoy sharing some of the magical photographs and images I'm grateful to be able to capture and create. Other fun photos and stories highlighting the rest of our life in the garden will inevitably show up here too. Road trips, camping, fishing, biking, our dogs and our rescue foster pups and their antics, are the likely topics!

Guelph, ON, Canada
I celebrate nature, the natural world and the human spirit immersed within it. My passion is in sharing the simple reminders the garden and nature share with me. Through my photographic adventures I've learned something we humans often overlook; We are a part of Nature, not apart from it! That we are human spirits immersed within this magical, miraculous and beautiful world. Understanding this fundamental truth has been changing my life in lovely ways. I look forward to and welcome further developments this focus provides and hope you might be inspired to reconnect with the natural world around you!
