~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I walked in to the four bed rooms, four baths of my daughter’s house with big living room, dining room, washing room, back and front yards, master bedroom with bath and walk-in closets. Painted with rustic color of gray, in medium tone outside and light tone inside, the color motif of the interior design showing on the wall pictures and on the vases with different synthetic plants and flowers. Although they do not emanate floral or sweet scent, the orchid plant utterly exhibits an illusion of blossom. The backyard landscaping the previous owner had done is stunning, quite lush with safe walkways. A modern landscape or timeless landscape with the feel of stillness and the view of the glorious sunset. My pondering in silence was abruptly cut off by the sound of the automatic sprinkler’s swirling water.

you contrast the images beautifully, taking in all the man-made landscaping to the quietude of Nature. Beautiful writing. Congratulations dear poet.

Created in the image of God, man too can create. Not like God, out of nothing, but out of the abundance that He has provided, the creative spirit in all of us takes what he has given so freely and makes of it something beautiful, useful, and unique. Thank for sharing your eight-word creation with us. Well-said, Marilene.

Thank you. Yes, we have God given gifts, talents that we can explore, improve and share as well as His other gifts around us, natural resources for us to enjoy, appreciate and to be thankful that He is with us. Blessings to you.

A tour, lovely imagery, daydreaming then brought from the silence by the sprinkler! Very nice, Marilene!

Thanks so much, Kim! The view is so lovely when the sun sets. The stillness with the sun setting makes you appreciate God's natural gift and be thankful.
