June thoughts...
“ Participating in our lives is much easier than trying to control them or avoiding them.
In fact, participating fully in our lives, the ups and downs, usually generates energy “
Women who do too much calendar of daily sayings
This I found particularly applicable to myself in recent weeks as there have been a number of events about which I have fretted, including where I am going to be for my summer contract north….a series of phone calls and emails no results, but it is beyond my control, so a matter of letting it go, at least for the weekend! Some of the past week’s the ups and downs have included:
• Work in church garden, as our parish
spruces up with
new plants,
painted front doors
...all prep for a royal visitor today, The Princess Edward (Sophie Rhys-Jones) Countess of Wessex http:////tinyurl.com/edmroya

• Cherry and apples blossoms
both in the church yard,
my back yard
including a solitary crab apple
tree in the ravine
• Fragrant Lilacs
and other wild blooms
gathered in bouquets around house
• Eating outdoors and grilling on front yard fire pit,
spicy chicken and fresh veggies
• My dogs destroying the new chewy toys in less than two days
• Small pockets of beauty
in the back yard as in different color flowers & tulips
• Out on bike yesterday, eco-solar home tour, here the net zero house in Riverdale,
and finally• Edmonton being the only place in Alberta likely with no snow or overnight frosts
Again all to be thankful for.
