Here, in my little abode and around my private little domain, I am queen. And, I must admit, it is good to be queen. Today I enjoyed a bit of time in my kitchen and I loved the view of my yard from the window. The rose bushes overflowing with blossoms, the finches enjoying a snack in the feeder and my nieces, frolicking about - hunting for worms and other such creatures. I signed deeply and felt really happy about this little oasis I have created here in suburbia. All is good.
This is the scene that greets me as I arrive home from work each day. And, below is the scene that I am treated to, just beyond my kitchen window.
This week I will spend some time shopping for plants to fill in the balance of the beds. Hoping to pick up peonies and a few more of the shrub roses. Perhaps a tree for the far corner of the yard to provide a wee bit of shade. This week I will make the time to enjoy my little kingdom. This week I will relish the one opportunity I have to be queen!
