Tis a quiet Wednesday.
I love this...the peace and calm. The clouds are nigh, and the brisk breeze is blowing through the windows. Outside those windows, the Rose of Sharon trees tremble slightly...politely nudged by the wind. The linden waves to me in its tall, majestic splendor...protective in shade and in sheltering those beautiful creatures of nature. The herbs are whispering softly, asking to be harvested very soon
....before the first frost makes pretty cold pearls of the dew upon their green.
The rain is hovering...waiting for the right moment to cascade upon this earth. I welcome it with a smile and invite it to come down and make its beautiful, hypnotic sounds as it falls upon my window panes. An unfinished book is lying upon the table..beckoning me to turn its pages and lose myself in its world. The kettle too is calling...reminding me that a cup of tea will complete the serenity surrounding me.
*sigh*
How tranquil I am at this moment...how in love with this precise point in my life.
Mr. Knightley is sleeping...curled up in a black ball of the softest, velvety fur I have ever felt.
How beautiful.
Harmonie House, my Shangri-La, is quiet..yet I can feel the stirrings within. I can sense the beating of the heart which lies deep within its walls...for this home is alive with feeling and spirit. Its beams sigh along with me in appreciation of now....today.
Perhaps this reverie will dissipate shortly. But for now...this very minute...this moment is mine...all mine.
Wishing you moments of serenity,
xoxo
Miss Sandra
'Tis wise, to fully appreciate these moments, as they come by.

Dear Miss Sandra,
ReplyDeleteI am so happy you left a comment on my blog, and even happier that I found you and Harmonie House! I need to make myself a cup of Earl Grey and settle in to read your posts. What a beautiful blog.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Pass the scones!
It's truly late (12:11 am) but never too late to reply to my dears.
ReplyDeleteAunt Amelia,
Indeed tis wise, for they don't come as often as we wish...or perhaps they do but go unnoticed for the moment.
Vicki,
You're welcome. Please stop by whenever you need to. If I have lifted your spirits, even for a single moment, then I am happy. Be well dear.
Chuck,
Thank you. Yes, moments like these make the collection extra special. One should always take some time out during each day to absorb and enjoy...for we are blessed more than we know.
Judy,
