    That is so true,especially if you can hear the birds singing and smell the flowers bloomin’.

    Jane had it right. I can hardly wait for nature to wake up. Great photo, Cherie.

    i could sit there for hours and just smell the flowers….peter:)

      I could sit there for hours too. I can’t enjoy the smells of the flowers but I can enjoy listening the birds and watching the breeze in the trees and the clouds in the sky and feeling nature :-)

    Jane Austin knew what she was talking about, of course! :)

    What a lovely website you have Cherie. I really like this photograph and the quotation is a perfect match.

    I am with Jane there, Cherie, but how soon the daffodils go over

    If I’m looking for you, I’ll look at the benches first.

    A shaft of sunlight can change evrything inside a mind, sometimes, thank goodness. The bench is optional for me so long as the sun and a bit of nature is there.

      Yes I agree that shaft of sunlight makes all the difference. The bench is just a place for me to sit and chill out and contemplate the wonders around me :-)
