A blue Window

Entering

Home Feeling

"Any old place I can hang my hat is home sweet home to me." (William Jerome)

Time to Enjoy

When it's the time for the acacia tree to bloom outside of my house,  every morning I look so much forward to open windows wide... The softness of the light through the branches softly whispers about something hopeful . The fresh blood of the flowers sings about the joy. My still sleeping soul is smiling, wondering if that's a continuing of my happy dreams.  It's a moment of blissfulness...

Flowers for my Sister

"A sister is a little bit of childhood that can never be lost."  (Marion C. Garretty)

Whenever I think of her, I feel like coming  back in time. And especially today :) Happy Birthday, Sister !

Wondering?

   "Holidays in general breed unrealistic expectations. The minute you start wondering - is it going to be wonderful enough? - it will never be."  (Pepper Schwartz) 

   Even so,  this is my dead ugly back yard... Not kidding. Keep wondering :)

Not going Home for Christmas

"I long, as does every human being, to be at home wherever I find myself."  (Maya Angelou)

Home in the Heart

We all come from one place - HOME. But we grow up and leave it. And at times we want to come back. Especially when want to feel safe, relaxed and happy. But the truth is, when you create another home away from the native, might be difficult to embrace only one. Simply because wherever place you choose, you miss the one you left... So, what to do? Enjoy each place from all your heart while you are there. The Home is where your heart is.



Housewife's Dilema

I love them, the artichokes. So perfect and versatile things. The problem is, I am not so sure how to use them in the best way. Should I make some "flower" decoration, or just eat it up??? 

Old Street

Until few decades ago it used to be a little fisherman's village. The small houses here and there, tiny stores, a couple of hotels... A few things to do besides fishing and cultivating tomatoes... Life was slow and relaxed.  Quiet. Simple. And today... I can count on my fingers the "real" houses, squeezed between new complexes, growing like baobabs. The non-stop roaring tourism machine moved almost all fish from the port to the supermarket; but also... it moved  me here!  Yet I get very nostalgic strolling  the old streets of  fisherman's place...
