There's one thing I'm going to do next year. I'm going to celebrate all the things that go right and not worry about the things that go wrong.
Adam Frost on Gardeners' World (I watch on Britbox.)
He was talking about the garden, but honestly they are such good words about life in general.
Words to live by. (And your new header picture is precious!)
ReplyDeleteThey were so cute today. They each had a rake, and would make a pile and then jump in! And yes, I do love those words. Often when I hear or read some good words, I come right to the blog and post them.
DeleteSuch great wisdom!
ReplyDeleteI adore your new header, too!
It was a perfect weather day!
DeleteOh Nan, I adore your new header picture!
ReplyDeleteYes, such good words. We still have last night's GW to watch. Can't believe it's over for another year, I do wish they would carry it on in some form or another as there're precious few programmes for people who like gardens and gardening.
It has been the best television experience for me. I hadn't ever heard of Monty Don, or any of the others. His quiet, calm, kind demeanor is like a meditation. He has the best attitude about gardening. The only other British gardening show I had ever seen was Groundforce back in the 1990s on BBC America. As opposite to Gardeners' World as possible. All frenetic and loud.
DeleteGood words to live by.
ReplyDeleteYour Grands look so cute. I love those days of raking leaves and jumping into them.
Only one grand! Hazel's friend was over to play.
DeleteRichard's parents really loved the show "Springwatch". Not sure if you have seen that one.
ReplyDeleteI also love your header! I have fond memories of raking leaves and C. jumping into them but he always helped me afterwards, he would rake them again (he with his little rake)and we would put them into a giant garbage can (we don't have a wheelbarrow) and then, put them on our compost. No burning for us!
Yes, it is on Britbox! The kids were just adorable - Hazel and her friend.
DeleteYes, they are. Combine them with "staying in the now," and life should look lighter.
ReplyDeleteYes!
DeleteOh to be a child with autumn leaves to play in! Beautiful picture story of your grands!
ReplyDeleteGood quote, oh so hard to carry through but I continue to try that. It's called hope.
Just one grand! The boy is a friend of Hazel's!
DeleteAnd yes, it is called hope.
