Fragrant Cloud roses, Unicorn roses, Distant Drums roses, Cinco de Mayo roses, Queen Elizabeth roses, Intrigue roses, Charisma, Sun Sprite, Chicago Peace... the profusion of roses in the garden during these last days of October was beyond magical and I dare say miraculous. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was almost hard to decide what to do with so many roses... and I should say that's not exactly the right thing to say, right? Who wouldn't want to have this many roses to collect? Roses are always welcome.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But what to do with so many roses now that my house is practically in total chaos?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Everything boxed up... boxes and boxes scattered around an almost emptied home... </div>

The moving trucks will be here early tomorrow morning. They will be taking all of our humble possessions down the Yellow Big Road of life, where a new chapter in the book of our lives will be written. <br />

What I have lived and left here at THE HOUSE IN THE ROSES it cannot be re-lived; it cannot go with me. Therefore, I am gathering every memory, every joy and tear sown here into a bouquet of what constitute my story, and leaving it here.... right here, in this blog. Where they belong.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I will not be writing here any longer. This blog ends with the end of our days here. I must start a new blog once we're settled in our new home. In the mean while, whenever possible, I will be sharing our road adventures with you, <a href="http://gypsydreamscielo.blogspot.com/"><b><span style="color: red;">HERE</span></b></a>. Our gypsy caravan is ready. We are taking it with us and we will be stopping along the way to rest and camp. <br />
<br /></div>
It's been delightful and, so rewarding in so many ways, getting to know each and every one of you.... I'm taking you all in my thoughts and in my heart of hearts... <br />

I'm talking about furniture painting, of course... And thus, I decided it was definitely time (again) to change the paint color on some of the furniture in my 'girly' room upstairs. I love pink... I do, but for some reason my heart is not into pink lately. Color infatuation comes and goes around here depending on moods and other fanciful dreams... and thus, I opted for green this time. </div>

I bought these aquamarine pulls at Michael's – $1.00 awhile ago. Didn't know exactly what was I going to do with them back then... now I know! Perfect color too!<br />

I have to admit that the distressed finished is not my favorite style for my home. I prefer to finish my furniture in a shiny, high-gloss finish. It had something to do I guess with my childhood and having grown up in a poor home were furniture (and practically everything else) were passed down from generation to generation... years and years of chipped, peeling paint, rust and weathered furniture was the standard of the poor. Very shabby, but certainly not chic.<br />

PS: I cannot wish for better days, or lovelier weather; so exquisite with chilly mornings and soft sunshine throughout the day; with nippy nights closing up as early as 5:30pm. By four, sunshine starts turning into a misty fairydust of a light; like a feathered vision of some sorts, the atmosphere gets imbued with itty bitty creatures that seems to glow and dance in the mellow afternoon light. It's the magical light of autumn. </div>

My husband is coming 'home' to the house in the roses this Thursday. I'm excited. My heart is overflowing with mixed emotion, as we're finally getting closer to a definite move. One more week, and we'll be parting away from our home of 28 years; leaving behind some very dear people. I am shocking in a river of emotion as I write this. I wish I could shut my mind and my heart for a little while... if maybe, by doing so, I could quieted my sadness away. <br />
<br />
What can I say? I truly want to believe with all my heart that we're following the path that God has called us to walk. May quietness and trust enhance my awareness of His presence.<br />

Does it happen to you too? I mean, when the weather starts to change the first thing that comes to my mind is the fairies... and how could we not think of them?—kiss of morning mist upon the garden, scent of wood smoke swirling in the air; wonderful chilly mornings under a crimson canopy...</div>

Ah yes my dears... I saw them! The winter fairies. The other morning right after waking up. I thought I heard something in the garden—little whispers, strange small voices. Cerulean light glided through the half-opened window of my room filling it up with tiny stars of glittering light. I had a feeling I knew what it was. So I tiptoed over to the window and very quietly peaked outside...</div>

They're here to bring to the land the season of leaves, hibernation, chilly breezes and pumpkins. As usual, they've arrived in anticipation of All Hallows' Eve and the closing of the garden. It's the fairies' favorite season you know... and thus, they must make sure every pumpkin, peach and prickly pear are collected before the witches get here. It's their job. </div>

You know, you can watch a fairy at work as much as you like, as long as you keep very quiet and don't interrupt what she's doing. But don't you dare look straight into her eyes. Those lunatic-looking eyes, if you don't want to be blown away under their spell ;) </div>

Did you know that fairies sing while they work? They do! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And what lovely song I heard them sing: </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"If you believe in who you are, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
who you were always meant to be </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you open up your heart, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
then you'll set your spirit free. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In this time of the season, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
every leaf on every tree, will start to shine... </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
come and see, take my hand, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
come with me and fly"...</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Have you ever heard that song before? I bet there are more than one little girl out there who has... including little me, of course... ;) </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Sparkles, Dixie Hollow, a blue harvest moon rising up, precious moonstone... I just love it all! Oh sprinkle me with pixie dust!</div>

There's no stopping those winter fairies once they're here. Trees and shrubs will shed their leaves in a day on their command. Frigid northern winds will arrive at their lead and the landscape will change in a wink. Heartbreaking, but unstoppable.<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Well friends, I better take off now lest the Halloween witches decide to show up today too... Oh they will, believe me, they will come by... I'm just hoping is not today. I truly think it's the magic of October. Do you feel the Halloween spirit creeping up everywhere? I'm sure you do. October’s best for sure!</div>
<br />

Thank you for coming by!</div>

Stepping into my garden again... something magical, something new, something marvelous and poignant filled me with a wild, childish pleasure in being barefooted and dirty and dancing in the wind; a delicious feeling that I had not had for months. Yeah you know the feeling... of being transported through some magic door to another place in time. Alice in Wonderland after she had drunk the contents of the magic bottle, could not have grown smaller before such grandeur; more suddenly aware of how wonderful and sweet and magical this garden is and how much I love it. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I could hardly believed my eyes the moment I looked around and saw my rose bushes overflowing with roses... bushes in full bloom this time of the year?... a second spring? The garden fairies must had been extra busy growing things, creating blooms, opening petals... What a glorious surprise that was! Oh I wanted to look around and look and look... because, I had a feeling if I look again I could see the fairies laughing as they basked in shimmering sunlight amidst the roses... </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I run inside the house and brought out whatever vases I could find that I had not boxed yet and filled them up with blooms... I'm elated, overjoyed and extra thankful for this miracle... the miracle of being able to fill my house with my dear roses from my dear dear garden one last time..</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I hope you don't mind the crazy amount of photographs I'm about to post, because well, I just have to...</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Oh if you could only had been here with me to see this! And you were... you were! In a way, by being here now, you were certainly there with me that moment when I stepped into my garden. Now reliving that moment and recreating it and sharing it again and again... THANK YOU!</div>

I'm trilled, and thankful for this gift... because it truly is a gift... for my garden to have performed in such extraordinary way this time of the year... and precisely at my return. Oh I truly believe magic must have something to do with this... real magic. The good kind of magic! God-created magic. And I know it is Him. And it is the garden begging me to carry it with me; in my heart forever... and how could I not? Oh I want to cry out a bitter-sweet song. And how can I say goodbye? Part of me is buried here forever. My shadow shall stay. My footprints like glitter in the sun. My song in the song of birds. My heart of hearts in scattered petals. Forever here. Forever in me. <br />
<br />

Back to the old emptied home at Parks Place. Where do I belong? I am practically homeless. A strange feeling—a feeling of not really belonging anywhere on earth, or rather, a feeling of pitiable lonesomeness and emptiness and abandonment fights inside my soul against my will.... it's an awful feeling; one I don't wish to harbor, and yet, from time to time these feelings take possession of my heart and split me without my consent; disconnecting me from my source of happiness. Breaking free is hard. <br />

Yesterday afternoon was one of those dark moments. Finding the right home under the qualifications of a second home mortgage has proved disfavored and very discouraging. We can't find the right home, and the realtors are resisting cooperation already. Not until our house in the roses get sold we'll be free. </div>

My husband had finally contacted his friend in Colombia—the owner of the house where we're staying at the moment, and has arranged for us to rent it... So renting will be. <br />
<br />
On trying to shed light where shadows attempt to get a grip, I cleaned the emptied old house this morning, and we bought some kitchen utensils and such (we only had one dinner plate and one cup), and today, for the first time in three weeks, I cooked our first meal. What a good thing that was!<br />

I'm trying to get used to the idea of renting. To make this house look something more like a home, or somewhat similar to my soul's own renderings I also bought a scented candle, and I bought some lovely silk roses... they'd have to do for now. I miss my roses terribly, but I'm finding out that roses don't do so great in this climate. Hydrangeas, however, are the queen of the land. And what a wonderful and exciting thing this is, as for years I tried to cultivate hydrangeas in our valley without any luck... perhaps, my new home here shall be named "the house in the hydrangeas"? We'll see. ;)</div>

Lake and sky are the same.... they are one. The one thing which let you know that water is water are the rings formed atop the water by the snapping turtles....<br />

There are some beautiful and peaceful trails hidden in the thick of the woods... on my morning jog, yesterday, I decided I should take that route... it was lovely, but pretty spooky.... not a soul was seen in miles around, only my breathing, and the not so familiar sounds of Nature... </div>

Thoughts of the possibility of running into a mountain lion or a bear in the woods accompanied me for the whole 45 minutes. When I later asked about wild animals in the woods I was told that bears are usually seen here all the time... Oh boy! I should have known better not to go alone. If you jog or walk in the forest, remember that the forest is never free of dangers. Take precautions.</div>

My eyes rest upon the glories of the land; skies a sapphire jewel above. A furtive mist reposes atop tranquil jade waters, satisfying it with peacefulness and myrrh and bird songs—as if perhaps some divine veil of sacredness and goodness had been purposely sent from heaven to wrap us all in undisturbed cheeriness, and shield light and intimate repose. <br />
<br />
Something stirs the waters on the lake below, straight down under my balcony—perhaps the breezes who own the lake? Or maybe, is the angel who moved the waters of the pool at Bethesda in Jerusalem, or some mysterious and inexplicable waft of air sent all the way from the lost Paradise? I don't know. But it is like hearing God speak. His voice travels the space above the waters, and it moves up the waters and go deep into the wooded area surrounding it. Then, this same voice stirs the waters again. The sound of thousand tiny bells. A flapping of wings. And it goes up; straight up to my balcony, and into my room where I am sitting pondering upon these things and, entering right through my ears go straight into my heart. I am blessed.<br />

Sunny, delightful days surrounded by such a wonderful milieu... wonderful and enchanting to all my senses—a scenery so unusual and extraordinary everywhere you look, and walk and breath and all under a most wonderful and magical canopy of greens and birds of blues and reds. </div>

And there are also those remarkable morning songs and curious night whispers too... songs, or hymns of Nature, made by Nature... of small animals and unrecognizable birds... melodies which I had never heard before. I am enchanted. I am sheltered by the magic of the Appalachia Mountains. And everything there is feels so different and so unique and so wonderful... different and special in its own way—always so green and alive with sunshine and life and Nature. <br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I cannot ask for anything better or a better place to be or better people to be surrounded by as a matter of fact... people ever so cordial and warm and so given to this fascinating thing called "Southern hospitality". Can I love this place any more? Ah I am in the right place. My soul is at home and it knows it too. I shiver and amaze at the thought of it all... at how my Heavenly Father, who knows my little heart so well and so deep, had us brought here from all places... a place never thought of, or dream of, or imagined the possibility of ever living here... Looking back at it now it all makes sense... I am dumfounded, and it is almost miraculously, really... miraculous, and inexplicably the way this transition took place... but God is an all knowing God, and He had planned and staged it all so well for us... in a strange and marvelous way.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I can't deny that I miss my girls terribly, and I harbor in my heart this rare blend of nostalgic and absorbing yearn for those wintry autumnal days of burgundy giant oaks and chilly breezes of the North. And I confess that very deep in my heart I hold this secret longing for a garden I once knew and loved; crimson colors of wine-red and maroon carving its floors with quietness and peacefulness. But I am at peace. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My little heart feels warm and happy. And I am forever thankful.</div>

<br />CIELOhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10970051028104694707noreply@blogger.com21tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-629895829286232083.post-40341585241030660372013-09-24T12:17:00.001-06:002018-02-04T15:37:56.777-07:00The end of a season...<div style="text-align: justify;">
The lonesomeness to it... this kind of sheltered seclusion and quietness which, to my eye, is revealed in all its nakedness, like a sad melody... I can taste the strangeness which shrouds it. I can feel the melancholy which dresses it and gifts the acrid September air with sacred chants and sad low key songs... like an ancient European cemetery... <br />
<br />
That's how the garden comes to me this morning; blanketed, as it is, by an endless gray sky, heavy with the prediction of rain... achromatic shades stretching out between white, and black and this sorts of low colorfulness which, in its own magnificent way, impels in me despondency and makes my heart sing low, and with the same intensity.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
What I see around me humbles me and exalts me too. Transition. Fade. A final burst of green and growth. The falling away of the leaves and roses, the sleepy garden standing resolute and quiet, knowing its limits and times. It’s beautiful and tragic, as life and death always are.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And thus, I am strolling my sanctuary in slow motion; perhaps strolling it for a last time, or at least for a long while... I am leaving tomorrow to meet my husband at our new place. I may come back in the middle of October. I may not. And the garden knows this very well, and as a way of saying goodbye, it's been gifting me, out of its own free will, with unexpected little jewels: a single rose in sleepy bushes, a new growth amidst the dying... new bright colors under this strange, yet alluring peacefulness, so inherent of ancient cemeteries—roses, and petals posing as poignant collections of graves covered with seashells.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It’s beautiful and sad to watch, to witness, to walk and pray here one more time, and listen to the garden, as it relates its understory under the cold mornings of the end of another September.</div>
<br />

Thank you friends, for allowing yourselves to be part of my days, and my life, throughout all these years here at the house in the roses. Thank you for making my days a little bit better, a littler bit sweeter and a hefty lot happier. I am honored and blessed to have known each of you. I am off now, on my way for a little while, and hopefully will see you again soon; if not here at the house in the roses, in whatever place the good Lord has for me somewhere out there. <br />

across the doorsill where this world and the world beyond touch...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This door is real, and it is wide open to whoever wants to believe...</div>

Shadows of night are lengthening, whispering winds float by, mellow evenings and beautiful sunsets spread across the sky while chill evening mists envelop the garden... and yes, I'm still here. Still waiting for our house to sell. I guess all these wistful feelings I've been harboring in my heart have something to do with letting go of all that has meant so much to me as I move forward into a new adventure... I cannot cut the umbilical cord—so it seems, but I do need to remember that each day is a journey... I'm also looking forward to this new life that's awaiting for me out there...</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The geese are flying South... and thus I must fly too. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Really, living alone for a whole month has proven tougher than I'd ever imagined it to be... but I'm also discovering that I'm not as frail as I think I am and can manage life just fine by myself... In fact, a loner by nature, I treasure my time alone and although I miss my husband terribly, I truly enjoy the solitude of my moments... </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I'm hoping our house will sell soon.... and I'm hoping for that 'perfect' for us home in our new place, and all the while, I am content with life... content with sunny days and cooler evenings, content with the songs of Nature I hear from my open window as I type and meditate in life and type some more... collecting the last of my roses, packing, enjoying my little moments and photographing my life, or what have been my life until now... </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hope this beautiful day finds you well and of course, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
praying that all your day dreams may come true, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and more.... </div>

Delicious sultry days of pre-autumn in the Northern Hemisphere, serene and imperturbable. And how quiet the garden looks... and feels. Where have all those feathered friends and cheery chirps and twittering gone? And why isn't the garden no longer filled with musical sounds? Ah these lovely late summer afternoons... they must have something to do with it! One can't help but being quiet and feeling dreamy and wistful... and then... then there's this sense of wonder, and magic lingering in the cool afternoon breezes that inspires you to close your eyes and linger a littler longer under the sun; lift up your soul to the sky and dream and wish upon a cloud... And hide too... hide away from the world. </div>

That's exactly how I'm feeling these days—kind of like the old witches in children's books; unbound by time and fashion... living my little life in my little world at my own tempo and only mindful of the important... of the rhythm of Nature, and the song she sings... </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
And how wonderful it has been—all through this spring and summer and now going into those astonishing magical days of autumn, free of the duties of the office, free in the spirit, free of undeserving unimportant people and all the confrontations and condemnations brought by binding obligations into our lives, while all the while there's so much beauty and goodness to live by out here... <br />
<br />
Being free in the spirit, free in your soul, just following your dreams, riding invisible waves, walking over colorful rainbows... To be free! To feel free... and how marvelous and full my days are, and how very thankful I am... how satisfied and bursting with gratitude and thanksgivings....<br />

Psalm 139</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You have searched me, Lord,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and you know me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You know when I sit and when I rise;</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
you perceive my thoughts from afar.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You discern my going out and my lying down;</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
you are familiar with all my ways.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Before a word is on my tongue</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
you, Lord, know it completely.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You hem me in behind and before,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and you lay your hand upon me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
too lofty for me to attain.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Where can I go from your Spirit?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Where can I flee from your presence?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If I go up to the heavens, you are there;</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If I rise on the wings of the dawn,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
if I settle on the far side of the sea,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
even there your hand will guide me,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
your right hand will hold me fast.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If I say, “Surely the darkness will hide me</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and the light become night around me,”</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
even the darkness will not be dark to you;</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the night will shine like the day,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
for darkness is as light to you.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For you created my inmost being;</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
you knit me together in my mother’s womb.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
your works are wonderful,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I know that full well.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My frame was not hidden from you</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
when I was made in the secret place,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
when I was woven together in the depths of the earth.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Your eyes saw my unformed body;</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
all the days ordained for me were written in your book</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
before one of them came to be.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
How precious to me are your thoughts, oh God!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
How vast is the sum of them!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Were I to count them,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
they would outnumber the grains of sand—</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
when I awake, I am still with you.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

I know… summer should live in our heart, right? But soon we northern birds must bid our last farewell to the pleasant season... that's until the wheel of time will return it back to us again, and to our land, and hopefully, we’ll be here to receive it and welcome it back into our life once again.<br />

But of course, things have changed in my little world as you may already know... and in case you haven't hear it yet, I will be leaving the house in the roses soon—travelling the many roads of life in our Gypsy caravan until we finally reach the sunshiny gates of the South. I am excited. </div>

Moments in life, jobs, experiences, moments, memories, views, lessons... we cross paths with those we are meant to, for various reasons... sometimes blessings, and sometimes lessons... some are easy, and others are most definitely not... however it is what you take away from each that makes you who you are, and who you are meant to become in this lifetime.</div>

It is say that fairies can be found in mushroom circles in piney forests, amongst the acorns, pine cones and autumn leaves... and of course, you can find all sorts of fairies in Hollow Woods... how you get there you ask? Haven't I mentioned that already? Oh yes, just follow the signs around you and of course, the will-o'-the-wisp, or ghost lights, and you'll be there in a zilch!</div>

I call this mossy rock "Petunia" found in the coldest of cold river waters on an Autumn trip to the woods. When I bent down to touch this rock, I heard a tiny "bell" tinkle and saw something shimmering all round me... fairy wings! Of course, I had to bring that rock home with me! Luckily for me, the fairy came with it too!</div>

I am constantly learning to lean on my Creator rather than on my own abilities for everything in my life. It is such a wonderful feeling to throw wide open my window in the morning and be received by such lovely day, lift up my hands to the sky and let my soul be filled; be satisfied; be calmed down. </div>

Why do we insist in filling up our homes with unnecessary things that sucks away our time, our peace of mind, and our freedom? I've been asking myself that question lately. De-cluttering our homes it's a way of de-cluttering our hearts too—me thinks. </div>

I have boxed up, given away and thrown away half of my possessions already and I'm learning that I can still live a happy normal life with so much less... two or three sets of bed linens instead of two dozen. Three or four pairs of shoes instead of 200. My simple, yet lovely white china... get rid of the pink, and the yellow and the blue china that I know I would never use because food doesn't taste, or look better in any other type of china if it isn't white. So why keep them? Odds and ends that can grow into heaping mounds of clutter and chaos. But of course, that's just me, and how I think... not necessarily how it should be. <br />

The natural world has a special way of welcoming changes, you know... and we can certainly learn from it. Oh, I am so ready for the arrival of the most enchanting season of all--you? Hopefully, I won't have to tolerate another winter here... Have I mentioned how I'm already loving the South? It is true that I am leaving behind some very dear people and my heart is torn, and deep down somewhere in my most inner secretive part of my little heart I am feeling terribly lonesome and sad... but I'm looking forward to new beginnings, a new life, a new me. And I know this: Peace is God's continual gift to me... to you... and you, and to all of us! It flows abundantly from His throne of grace.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Unhurriedly boxing my life away. The kitchen already feels empty and desolated; a forlorn echo runs through it, filling up every crannies and bare spaces with its peculiar melody. <br />
<br />
Our house hasn't been sold yet; nonetheless, it is not for us to called it "home" any more. I cannot call it 'my nest' any longer. An odd feeling has accommodated itself inside my brain; it has absorbed my reasoning, I'm just a stranger vaguely moving from room to room in a large unfamiliar house, not knowing exactly what to do next, or what to pack first, or what else should be donated, or given away or thrown away. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The pantry is a scary place; a scary job to tackle; therefore, I am leaving it as is for now. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In anticipation of that cottage of my dreams, some of my furniture have been repainted all in white; hardwares in black. I've finished them up with a coat of an oil-based clear polyurethane varnish for some extra glossy luxury. I know exactly how I want to decorate this new home of my dreams just using what I already have; know exactly how would it look and feel, as I try to achieve the homey feeling and elegant coziness I am hoping for... </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The garden has been uncared for almost throughout the entire summer. It has slip out of my hands without my consent and it is now resembling the rampant wildness of a jungle; all tangled up, and unkempt and unloved. Not as I used to anyways... not as loved and cared for as it once was. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I want to be quiet when I'm there; when I watch it fade away into dimness and muteness at the first kiss of twilight. It is a sad place, or perhaps, is it just my heart? </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Today, we brought in a couple of professional landscapers for an estimate, to have the garden cleaned and thinned out. It amounted to $600.00. I guess I will be doing all that job myself now. <br />
<br />
I am physically and emotionally exhausted, and I don't know exactly how to proceed. I need to find a new job soon. But where? Here? There? My husband is starting his new job the week after Labor Day. I'm staying behind until our home here is sold... when would that be? And how long would I have to wait or stay here alone? I don't like uncertainties. I like this quote from Vincent van Gogh: "For my part I know nothing with any certainty, but the sight of the stars makes me dream".</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That's what I'll be doing tonight...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thank you for being here with me my friends.</div>

Days are slowly vanishing beyond a premature chill. Gaudy afternoons are starting to lose their shade; already looking weary and somewhat somnolent. The garden is embracing sleep a tad earlier than usual. Summer wanes. Seasons change. Resolutions and dreams take physical form; they concretize, bringing an assortment of feelings which are difficult to explain, as thrill and uncertainty sync and dance in concert with life.<br />

Selling our house has been harder than we had ever anticipated it would be. Things are extremely tough for home sellers now that the market has been dropping for a while. In a down market like this, you have to be willing to make some concessions on price. Still... no luck thus far. </div>

The hardest part? Having to 'un-cluttered' the garden by removing some of the lovely bushes and perennials, in case they may be scaring away potential buyers who don't have the time or desire to care for a garden of this magnitude.</div>

I am mystified and astonished beyond belief by all the things that have slowly been unfolding in both, my life and my husband's since the beginning of the year. Imperative decisions, huge changes. I believe that nothing is random, that there is always a reason or purpose to something; particularly true to those whose faith and trust are deposited on our Creator. <br />

Yes, I certainly believe God has a plan or purpose for every one of us. Many people go through life without ever thinking about it—but that doesn't change the fact that God put us where we are for a purpose. Do you believe this? I hope you do! <br />

PS: We didn't get our house in the woods from my last post. Our plans fell through at the last minute to someone who bid higher than the asking price. And all on the same day we happened to put our offer... just minutes after, by the way. Isn't that odd? And thus, we are back to ground zero. No house. No prospect thus far. Although I have my eyes set on this one now... well, maybe.</div>

The sound is hard to describe. It’s part buzz, with a little bit of a ring to it and maybe a high-pitched note. The cicada’s song in the surrounding woods. It’s a chorus like no other. And at the bend of the road—a house like no other… They say it’s a lemon. We must bring in an inspector. The cicadas are calling. I love it! </div>

THE garden looks glorious resting comfortably in the palm of summer; sinuous and lovelier than ever. I am entranced by this green lushness and beauty; the amount of life buzzing, and bustling and growing in it; spellbound I am, rapt in light and deep thoughts as I see, and hear and feel—the hand which sustains it all; this hand which moves the skies and pours out the rains, creating, nourishing, caring for every organism in our beautiful world and beyond it. I am but a speck of dust in the hands of my Creator—waiting, as with all living thing under the sun to be feed and filled with His wonderful peace and light and every goodness there is. "For every beast of the forest is Mine, the cattle on a thousand hills. I know every bird of the mountains, and everything that moves in the field is Mine" (Psalms 50). <br />
<br />
I'm tiptoeing over my dream to retain it; be able to keep flowing, keep dreaming... and perhaps, keep the strangers away? For how would I ever forget and forgive myself for throwing away my dream—this Paradise-garden of mine? Would it be cared for when I leave... would it be neglected, ignored? Would it be loved? And if so, how well will it be loved? Would it be enough? <br />
<br />
I'm taking it with me—taking my garden with me tucked in my heart in the way of memories... a wedding, a dear little fairy, a baby singing, bright nights, rose petals, a sleepy kitty amidst the hostas, the music of a saxophone beyond the garden gates, birds singing, the miracle of a hummingbird, the song of the cicadas, the gathering of four generations, a dog the color of the sunset, memories tucked away in my heart and mind to store them away so I can later carefully look at them with perspective that only time can provide.<br />
