Here comes the sun

 This past week I haven't really been myself. I've been kind of tired, irritable and a bit sad. Not for any particular reason - there is absolutely nothing tangibly wrong in my life. It just so happens that I get that way sometimes and I've just got to ride the wave. 

And this morning when I woke up I was relieved to find that the wave had finally brought me to shore and I wasn't tired, irritable or sad. I was just calm and content and me. 

I think maybe the crappy weather we've been having had a little bit to do with my mood. I could never live somewhere where the sun doesn't shine so brightly as it does here, where the sky isn't as clear and unbelievably blue. 

Taking full advantage of the sun's very welcome return, coffee and camera in hand, I took myself outside and snapped a few shots of my garden....

 The tropical potted garden out the front is going very nicely so far, I'm thinking a few hanging pots will liven things up out there a bit more. 

 And the silver lining to all these clouds we've had is that my cottage garden out the back seems to have sprung to life again.

And it makes me happy that I can zip outside and bring in a pile of big fluffy roses to pop around the house.

How's the weather in your neck of the woods?
