🌱 Diary- 5 Things You Noticed in Nature Today

[Guest_1055]

Can you think of 5 things you noticed or observed in nature today, using all your senses?

I was wondering if this would be a beneficial exercise to help us focus on something else instead of painful emotions, troubled thoughts, over thinking, anxiety feelings and the darkness of that alone place.

As well as to see that there really is beauty all around us....

Hello Everyone,

Today on my front veranda, which I enjoy most Morning when the winter suns warm me up with my Morning cuppa.. I'm still missing the cows, they were my go to for grounding,,until enough rain has fallen to give these cows some food, they will not be back.😢..

today I saw, felt, tasted,heard and smelled..

1. The beautiful big old eucalyptus tree is 16 steps away from where I'm sitting..it stand tall and proud..
2. I felt the warmth of the autumn sun as it sent its rays onto my veranda.
3. I tasted the sweetness of my cup of tea, as I sat on my veranda taking in the sights, sounds of nature.
4. I heard the choir of nature, the breeze whooshing through the branches as the birds, magpies sang their melodies that is a joy to hear..
5. I smelled the dirt, the dust as every so often a slight wind would twist the dirt and dust up into a small whirly wing..Lol the dust started me off sneezing...

I hope that when your out in Nature today..whether it be walking, sitting, working or playing outside you noticed what a beautiful universe we live in and you took notice of Maybe 5 things you want to share with us..

Rain coming down

debris all over the roads after a day and night of rough winds. Cars crunching over the jacaranda pods.

My daffodils knocked around 😕 and my roses putting out a lot of new growth now

the birds enjoying the damp earth

chill in the air again this morning after a tease of 24 degrees on Wednesday. Spring time!

Oh Jacandra.. Thankyou for sharing this. I could easily imagine the crunching sound of cars driving over jacandra seed pods. Good on you!

Hello Shelly, and everyone..

Today I was allowed to go outside of my hospital room and sit on the veranda in the sun..

I can see clouds. fluffy and different shapes..cloud softness...

I can feel the sun warming my skin..but making my bottom hot from the hot seat.

I am smell the fresh basil I picked from the veggie patch here and I'm squashing it in my fingers.. smells basil y...

Ouch...I just felt the bite of an ant🐜..as I'm listening to the buzzing of bees 🐝.

I just had a taste of the squished basil. Hmmmmmm better with tomatoes but okay on it's own raw.

I hear some birds. But I can't see them

I know more then 5 but it was my first 10.munutes in the outside since I have been in hospital

..and it was good.. more tomorrow if I am allowed outside..

What did you see. Touch. smell. hear and touch

Hi Grandy, I have not been on the forum for a couple of weeks. Wishing you all the very best and hope you are doing okay in hospital!

Today I went out to water the garden and noticed

-A gum tree that is in flower attracting the birds

-The sound of galahs flying about the place

-The colours of the geraniums and the texture of their leaves

-The buzzing of pesky sticky flies!

-A willy wag tail entertained me for while

Hello Shelly, Mrs Dools,

Thank you so much for your well wishes...

I am so pleased to see you back here..I wish all the best wishes of happiness and peace for you Mrs Dools...and everyone else..

I love geraniums, they are so hardy and have an array of beautiful colours, a lot of homes have them across their front fence..apparently geraniums ar a natural snake deterrent.....

Willy wagtails, are sooo cute and funny, I used tI sit and watch them at my other home with the fallen gumtree, they used to flittering around playing or catching bugs..I was never sure.. I have none where I live now...but that’s okay because their is a wide variety of birds around my home...

Kind thoughts,

Grandy..
