What a world.
Floods, freezing, fires, fighting, bullies in powerful positions, sometimes it feels just too depressing. I hope that you all, dear bloggers, are safe and well and enjoying the small pleasures and acts of kindness that are still all about us even though the world does appear to be going crazy.
A friend brought me white roses when she came to our New Year's Day lunch. I love white roses, they give me great pleasure. We are hunkering down, watching on the news film of the north of the country, my home county, under a blanket of snow. There are snow flurries here but nothing is settling, my grandson will be very disappointed! I'll be going through my seed box any day now and planning what to grow on the allotment - that should keep me happy!

White roses for peace - beautiful! Planning the growing for the coming seasons is full of possibilities!
ReplyDeleteLovely roses. I don't know what to say about world issues it is all too daunting.
ReplyDeleteAs a Canadian I am horrified at the bullies in the world. I try not to dwell on it all, but it's difficult. Garden planning sounds like a lovely antidote. Your white roses are very pretty.
ReplyDeleteThere is so much depressing news out there. We have to enjoy the small pleasures in our lives. Home, family, garden. I'm loving the greenery that's finally covered the brown earth.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your seeds. Spring isn't far away
I am not sure how much you know about the goings-on in Germany, but my country is facing big changes, too. The government coalition broke up in autumn, and we have a general election coming up in February, half a year earlier than originally scheduled. My sister and I are going to help at one of the polling stations, doing our bit for democracy.
ReplyDeleteThe white roses are beautiful! It's my sister's birthday tomorrow, and for decades now, it has been a family tradition to give her colourful bunches of tulips - they brighten up even the geyest of days.
