Time to take action

Sadje's avatarKeep it alive

The universe is waiting for us

To do something to right the situation

The ice in the polar caps is melting and yet

Nothing concrete is being done to eradicate

All the harmfulpractices which are doing the damage

Hope that we get the news soon that the governments of the world

Have united to put to end all that is causing the environmental pollution

And disturbing the eco-system to go out of balance and causing

The global warming and effecting the seasons all around

Can we hope?

top-thema: wie erhänge ich mich richtig?

geno's avatarcampogeno

wenn alle stricke reissen, hänge ich mich auf! aber wie erhänge ich mich richtig? zu meinen beiträgen, über den zustand unserer gesellschaft und über unsere grauenhafte zukunft, höre und lese ich immer wieder: “da kann ich mir ja gleich den strick nehmen!” trotzdem, warum wird dieser beitrag seit jahren am häufigsten besucht?

das wollt ihr wissen – das interessiert euch:
beachtet bitte, dass der strick richtig geknotet werden sollte. herkömmlicherweise wird der knoten unmittelbar unter und hinter dem linken ohr angelegt. durch das zuziehen der schlinge werden die luftzufuhr zur lunge und die blutzufuhr zum gehirn unterbunden, was zum (oft langsamen und qualvollen) tod führt (strangulation). zu empfehlen ist eine falltür und ein sturz aus einer berechneten höhe, hierdurch tritt der tod durch genickbruch ein (ist natürlich wesentlich angenehmer). quelle: wikipedia.orgwünsche viel erfolg und gebt mir bescheid, wenn es geklappt hat.

The Tuesday View August 9

Eliza Waters's avatarEliza Waters

August 9, 2016 August 9, 2016

This week is a fuller version of the same (compare to last week’s photo below). The abundance is remarkable. I have vases lined up all over the house!

At the center, to the right of tall blue globe thistle (Echinops ritro), the orange and red daylilies are pretty much done, but the lemon yellow daylilies (Hemerocallis ‘Hyperion’) is going strong and the spires of Astilbe taquettii are halfway done.

Clockwise from right in the above photo: Bright red Crocosmia ‘Lucifer’ are almost  done, pink coneflowers (Echinacea purpurea), white flowering tobacco (Nicotiana alata), lamb’s ears (Stachys byzantina),  love-in-a-mist (Nigella damascena) are nearly all seed pods, more coneflower, orange calendula (C. officinalis) and white and pink flowering tobacco. Below are closer shots of the front of the border.

IMG_4033On the far left, a line of pink cosmos flank the calendula and dots of zinnias; on the right are red and pastel sweet peas (Lathyrus…

IAVOM-Abundance

Eliza Waters's avatarEliza Waters

flower arrangementThe garden is blooming profusely with all the heat and rain we’ve had in the past week. The Astilbe chinensis var. taquettii are peaking and the Coneflowers (Echinacea purpurea) are abundant. The Zinnias (Z. elegans ‘Cactus’) are starting to bloom and are being visited by lots of butterflies, including Monarchs, which I love seeing. Their numbers seem to be increasing slightly from their near-absence in previous years.

Also in the arrangement are Flowering Tobacco (Nicotiana alata) and Spider Flower (Cleome hassleriana), and a few sprigs of wild Daisy Fleabane (Erigeron annuus) and Yarrow (Achillea millefolium).

flower arrangementMy second vase features yellow, red and orange Cosmos (C. sulphureus), lavender-tinged Sweet Peas (Lathyrus odoratus), white Nicotiana, blue Globe Thistle (Echinops ritro) and Mealycup Sage (Salvia farinacea).

I’m joining other gardeners celebrating the abundance in our gardens with our host Cathy at Rambling in the Garden. Click the link to see their arrangements.

Weekend Article: REJOICE IN THE LORD ALWAYS.

Lina Mwintoma's avatarBlissful Hearts

Imagine being celebrated and praised by others for saving a situation that could have possibly turned worse. Imagine family and friends rejoicing over you and your new set of achievements. At that moment, you may as well feel happy, knowing that you have fulfilled something.

St. Paul, in his letter to the Philippians expresses the joy he feels, knowing that they have been in partnership with the gospel right from the onset. He rejoices over them because they have taken delight in the work of God. His greatest joy is to hear that they are spiritually sound.

The Philippians are equally encouraged to rejoice and stand firm in the Lord always. To take delight in one another’s spiritual growth and to stay away from selfishness. We as Christians are seemingly called to rejoice in the Lord always.

Pain, shame, lack, sorrow are inevitable challenges we face often in life but…

Fotopoesia – Ti regalo una rosa .

Ti regalo una rosa
che ti illumini il giorno e la notte .

Ti regalo una rosa di campo
che propaga profumi e colori
una rosa che emani la vita
e ti resti quel poco di me .

Ti regalo una rosa ,
Sabina
sicchè tu
ti ci puoi specchiare,
sicche tu
così bella e spinosa
cresca e inebri il tuo mondo d’intorno .

Come essa resiste alla vita
trasparendo di se solo il bello,
così tu
Sabi bella e caparbia
t’alzi all’alba
ed affronti e sorridi
a una vita non sempre gradita .

E se Dio m’ha donato una rosa
puoi chiamarla ” una Rosa ” o Sabina .

Lei è l’esempio di come s’affronta
e ogni giorno mi fa bella la vita …

Sorridimi
