Spring / summer in my small garden 

“ I love not man less , but Nature more —-Lord Byron 

“ In joy or sadness ,flowers are our constant friends “ —-Kozuka Okakura 

There are many such lovely quotes on Nature and all I can say is that Mother Nature 

Is the biggest gift to mankind !! 

With the ever growing concrete structures around us ,having a garden has become a luxury 

to many . But I wish that more people would create some green patch  in space available in their 

homes . 

Being an ardent lover of nature , I have created my ‘ lung space’ !

It’s a visual delight especially during spring & early summer to see the fresh blooms in many colours The bees , birds & butterflies fluttering around in my garden gives me my daily dose of happiness.

Patio Love

Hellloo...........

so good to be back to blogosphere after a long hiatus !!!

this come back post is about my favourite space in my home --the Patio--

Its a dream space i created when we renovated our home .

The tiled roof with glass lets ample skylight , so there is a lot of play of light and 

shadow during the day. It took a couple of months to slowly setup the place with 

plants , greenery and artifacts and a bench. A space where I like to sit to sketch and paint or even dream.......

😊😊

The above picture shows beautiful patterns from the skylight

The above pic is from my main door entrance.

An antique bell sourced from Tamilnadu hangs above the corner statue

The corner Namaste lady sculpture made of sand stone  was a lucky find

There is also an old grandmother's grinding stone ,converted into a planter with common pothos growing happily in it

The Patio on a Diwali day

Truly this patio is my Joie de Vivre

I could spend a whole day here ........wouldn't you too?

See you soon .....
