Kyrchyszstan

What a pleasant surprise I just received. I had been so preoccupied with my nephew’s illness and death, I hadn’t had a chance to open it. How blessed am I? Thank you to my friends Miriam and Matthew for their thoughtfulness. I still don’t know what’s inside the beautiful and interesting gift box but it looked like chocolates inside. I love it. And the disinfectant, I admit it took me a while to figure it out but I thought it ingenious. This gift means more to me than many I’ve received over the years. Plus it opened up a new thirst for all things Kyrchyszstan. Now I can almost understand why my friend Matthew is not rushing to leave that country. He is a UN diplomat working out of this beautiful breathtaking place. From the pictures on the web the place is like from a storybook, almost magical. Thanks again, my friend. You made my year! 

I’ve posted some of the pictures I found on the web. My words could never do justice to such a magnificent place hence the photos. Enjoy. 

Love,

Sylvia 

Unexpected beauty!

Every spring day until summer I wait in anticipation of what Mother Nature has prepared for us in the backyard. 

Ours may not be a carefully and lovingly tendered garden like those of England, but it is beautiful indeed and I’m always awed by such beauty with so little care. 

This year was more beautiful than ever with new blooms and fragrant smells some which I’d not experienced before —because of the pandemic, Earth got a bit of a fighting chance and we were richly rewarded in the process.

I must always remember that God’s in control.
