A little flower mandala I created on top of my notebook while I was out on the patio writing and reflecting after my sweet Noelle was here visiting for a few days…
We spent a lot of time outside – she was a very good little helper in the garden…
She really enjoyed helping water my plants on the patio.
But can we talk about how adorable her curly little ponytail is?! At 3, the child is finally getting hair! My mom said Noelle reminded her of me as a little girl with a ponytail. I loved hearing that. 😍 And of course, she also reminded both of us of my daughter. ❤
Here she is examining and rearranging a few of my rocks…
She’s a real chip off the ol block, that one! 😉
And here she is jumping through the sprinkler…
Cuz hot summer day. 🌞
[By the way, the bathing suit she’s wearing was my daughter’s. 💕]
And here’s another one of her sleeping…
#Creepingonsleepingchildren haha! I can’t help it, she’s too sweet when she’s sleeping! Even when she’s kicking me in the ribs. 😉
I love that precious little being more than I could ever say, and it was so wonderful having her here with me for a few days.
I think this mandala I created while thinking of her looks just like her. 💜
Thanks for letting me share!
Happy Monday, wishing you a wonderful week ahead!

A little flower mandala I created this past week from a few of the annuals I have growing in various pots on my patio…
I normally don’t like to pick the flowers from my garden, but I was needing a bit of extra cheer and creative expression, and sitting on the soft green earth playing with flowers in my garden did just the trick. And those purple petunias… sooo wonderfully fragrant!
Hope this brings cheer to you too on this Monday!

A distant motor hums
birds singing
trees swish in the breeze
Flowers blooming
an ant crawls
wispy clouds float across a blue sky
Fresh cut grass
an indistinct scent of flowers
damp wood mulch
Stiff, smooth pen between my fingers
the coolness of metal against the back of my bare arms
a faint breeze
Rich, flavorful herbal coffee
cocoa lip balm
a hint of floral somehow mingled in

Just a few observations as I checked in with my five senses this morning; grounding me in the present moment.
I don’t have a photo to share from my observations this morning, but here’s a random picture I snapped earlier this week as I enjoyed some peaceful moments by a stream…
Wishing you peaceful moments today…

Within the heart lies deep mysteries
It is a multi-faceted gem of exquisite beauty
resting on a bed of delicate flowers grown in an ancient garden tended with care
its borders surrounded by a heavenly fragrance Oh ‘precious scent’!
Within the heart lies deep mysteries
the greatest of these…
Love

Another experiment using pressed flowers, and incorporating one of my favorite crystals as the center of this heart-shaped mandala. I can’t even tell you how much I enjoyed creating this one! 💜
Wishing you beauty and joy, and a wonderful week!
