“Do the difficult things while they are easy and do the great things while they are small. A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step.”

 

Lao Tzu

LET'S FACE THE MUSIC AND DANCE – DIANA KRALL

 

Time is a beautiful illusion

it cannot be quantified

as I sweep away last year's patterns

a residue resides

a little broken fading mosaic

veined with cracks and studded with tears

so small and fragile, I lift it up

and clasp it to my heartfelt fears

it's difficult to let the old ways go

it's hard to step into the new

but it's important to preserve sweet memories

and leave behind those that made me feel blue

Spring is a time for gentle renewal

moving on with life and regrowth

static is a negative charge of apathy

forward motion a positive oath

Softly I whisper my daily mantra

today is the first day of the rest of my life

and knowing this brings me succour and comfort

to my once ailing heart that was wrought with strife

ring out the bells; new change is here

there's a spring in my step; there's no room for fear

for today I begin an exciting new time

making new memories for this soft heart of mine

I put down the tiny fragment that represents broken dreams

cushioned in velvet; swaddled in reams

there it can't hurt me; I go forward; feel free

to walk in the sunlight; the shadows behind me.

I have a small lilac tree in a large planter on my balcony. These are the last leaves on it after last night's heavy wind and rainstorm. A rain drop is still hanging on.

It looks like this sweet Robin has a nest in my Smoke Tree. It comes to visit in my garden a few times a day. Such a little beauty to watch.

Better known as the Common Lilac ..It is a species of flowering plant in the Olive family Oleaceae ..

Today is the 3rd of May but I actually snapped this pic on May 1st. I was heading out to the grocery store. As I pulled out of our garage, I noticed how beautiful our front yard was looking--almost like it saved its best for May Day. Anyway, I ran back into the house and grabbed my camera and took a few snaps. Then it was grocery time.

There's magic in the air in our front yard these days. Not only is the Dogwood tree showing off its beautiful new wardrobe, but the Lilac has now decided to join the party. Spring is a riotous season at our house. Everyone is doing the love thing. "The birds do it, the bees do it, even the educated fleas do it."

So pleased!

 

Last year whilst doing some external re-modelling around the back and side of our house we needed to take down a lilac tree… amongst many others.

 

We painstakingly dug around the base of the lilac tree and finally were able to remove it.

We re-planted it into a big black tub and placed it on the deck.

 

I had previously moved it in 2000, and now it’s more or less in the same place as it was then… except we didn’t have the deck then. Funny how things happen.

 

As you can see it has flowered beautifully.

This is in our next door neighbour's front garden, where a mass of blooms has grown over the wall above the pavement. Our own small lilac tree, a white one, has yet to reach this point. We're quite envious!
