In the Shade of Green Trees



Sit still with me in the shade of these green trees, 
which have no weightier thought than 
the withering of their leaves when autumn arrives, 
or the stretching of their many stiff fingers 
into the cold sky of the passing winter. 

Fernando Pessoa 






... Wishing you a peaceful weekend,
Nina

    1. Hi Barb,
      I took a moment Friday afternoon - just sitting on this bench, enjoying the warm late afternoon (I was biking home from work) ... Wrapping up the thoughts from work, listening to the birds, and slowing down to the weekend :)
      Have a peaceful weekend, Barb!

  2. We will be quickly missing the green leaves and the appreciation of their shade on a hot sunny day. Such a relaxing shot of your feet. Enjoy your weekend.

  3. That's a beautiful thought. I really love walking in the forest with the smell and coolness of the shade. Nature is a wonderful thing. Found you at the sharefest. Have a great day.

    1. Thank you for leaving a note here, Patti, so I could follow you to your inspiring blog - I'm sending the tutorial on the sunflower wreath to my mom, the idea of setting it in the garden, so the birds can at the seeds, is just wonderful.
      Happy weekend to you!
