The Garden at Dusk

In the cool of a garden
when evening draws in
Serenity waits where the shadows begin.


In the fragrance of dusk and the murmur of clover


The cares that we carry pass peacefully over.


Flowers in the fullness shed blessing about
and the turmoil of living fades quietly out.


Hope glimmers through with the evening star


And anxieties shrink to the size that they are. 

(poetry by Joyce Grenfell)


I found this metal bird cage a local antique shop. 
It's rather large and heavy, so I wasn't sure where to put it so for now,  I have it in my courtyard.
I placed the metal patina bell chime inside.

Hope you are enjoying the weekend!

I'm a nut for birdcages. Big or small. They're all so fanciful.

How wonderful your garden looks in the evening Becca. It looks so lovely and warm. Would you believe we had a bit of snow today? Honestly. It did not stay but it was depressing just the same.

I am hoping for sunshine tomorrow!

Your photos are gorgeous Becca!
I am completely brain drained right now after finishing 6hrs of training today and having had four glasses of wine to destress lol!
The weather here is so beautiful and warm finally!!

I can no longer enjoy your beautiful music because of our insane licensing restrictions in Canada! They take the fun out of everything here! I keep meaning to post about this! Your great playlist comes up blank now :(

Hope you are having a great weekend!!

Your photos are awesome this week, and your poetry is lovely. Visiting your blog has become such a treat for me. The bell shot has to be my favorite of the series though the last one is amazing.
