Quote du jour/Adam Frost

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.

    1. They 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.

  3. Oh Nan, I adore your new header picture!

    Yes, 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.

    1. 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.

    Your Grands look so cute. I love those days of raking leaves and jumping into them.

  5. Richard's parents really loved the show "Springwatch". Not sure if you have seen that one.
    I 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!

  6. Yes, they are. Combine them with "staying in the now," and life should look lighter.

  7. Oh to be a child with autumn leaves to play in! Beautiful picture story of your grands!

    Good quote, oh so hard to carry through but I continue to try that. It's called hope.
