The picture was taken from my sister's backyard in Minneapolis. I haven't gone to Minneapolis but I think it is one of the loveliest places in the US. And I awfully think their backyard has one such spectacular view. I love the bird bath which looks an ancient Greek sculpture. If I were a bird, I would love diving on it for some water to drink and the much needed bath. I guess, not on winter time though. The old tree is as charming as the colorful fallen leaves on the ground and the lake. I am always drawn to nature because I believe there are spirits among them. Thus, taking care and communicating with the plants and animals around you brings positive energies back to your household.
When it is time for me to trim the trees and plants, I do try to be careful in not hurting them. A friend asked me once, why I did not cut one branch of the tree which she claims to look ridiculous. I said, because it got a nest there and if I cut that ridiculous branch (as she says so) the birds will die. When she was gone, I thought she might think, what I said was even more ridiculous. There are many people who seems to be naturally "mean" to nature and living things and I am sad about it.
Anyway, I am writing this because I want some balance back in my life. Having all these appliances and gadgets inside the house sometimes give me a creep that all those electromagnetic waves (is that how you call it?) coming from them will make me crazy. But having a small garden somehow gives me a "breathing space."
That breathing space happens to be my other venue for some quick cups of my "chocolates de cielo". By the way, it was my sister, Cristina who suggested "chocolates de cielo" (Spanish) or "chocolates from heaven" (in English) to be my chocolate brand name.
