Gifts of Mother Nature

 

 

A white wicker chair is no longer strong enough to use as seating.

Rather than toss it into a dumpster, I placed it on a narrow grassy strip in front of my apartment.

It makes a perfect resting spot for pretty flowering plants.

Miraculously, the chair survived outside during the past  New England winter with lots of snow and below freezing temperatures.

So this spring, the pretty chair is, once again, a resting place and backdrop for plants.

Right now, a beautiful mint plant from my daughter and a pink geranium dazzle from the white wicker chair perch.

It's a pretty scene to enjoy.

Gifts of Mother Nature

 

 

While visiting a sister on her back deck, many of Mother Nature's gifts lifted the spirit.

Birds flew in, quite close, to munch on seeds my sister left for them on a railing.

Even a gorgeous, brilliantly red cardinal ventured forth but disappeared in a flash.

 

Her plants looked so lovely, particularly a periwinkle blue one. 

 

Does anyone know the name of this plant with blue flowers?

Over the railing, down in the jungle of a yard, bee balm made a sea of green and red.

 

There was also an evergreen tree, that would make a perfect outdoor Christmas tree.

 

Imagine it with lights illuminating from top to bottom.  

I'd pick all white lights.

Mother Nature gives us many gifts, free of charge. 

All we have to do is look for them!
