Oh lovely days// lifestyle, earth day, staying home,

HAPPY EARTH DAY, EVERYONE!

April 22nd is a day to celebrate... though we might not think about it these days.
But really after reading or seeing photos of cities that suffered from severe pollution,
cities with polluted waters and other things. There is something to celebrate, the air is cleaner. the water is clearer and nature has appeared on city streets, certainly unusual but it maybe a good thing
to see how we humans have made a big impact on the earth, via polluted the air and water.

So even if we are not happy about being in lockdown there has been a benefit in a many other ways.

Today we can perhaps do some small things around our places , clean up the yard, plant some flowers or a tree, set up a birdhouse, add a bird bath, even on a balcony it can be a space to enjoy.
Planting flowers that attract the birds, bees and butterflies is ideal.

I especially love to sit outside and get the new plants in the pots, hang up wind chimes.
One feature I do love are water features, the one pictured is simple and looks like easy to maintain.

A natural water feature with rocks , rise and grasses .

nature in the garden

Over here some gardens will have small gnomes throughout , hidden in the flowers
or set up along paths.

Well today I guess I will take a trip to the store and find some plants to add to my

garden and get my garden gloves and enjoy the sunshine.

Hope you will be able to do the same where you are.

Get a chair sit by the window or out on your balconies

Have a great day everyone!

Flying high // travel

B Time to Fly Sumer holidays are around the corner and deciding where to go or what to pack can e daunting experience. So what to pack ? Well after reading how some airlines charge passenger to check the baggage. First I believe the budget airlines started , but now the big name ones have also started to charge it! American Airlines , southwest , Air Canada . And the extra cost if is a jackpot for the airlines. I have not travel with the budget lines but have used some of the others mentioned and I won’t be booking any trips with them! Really what do they think? If the operate a service to transport you and your belongs that should be included , NOT an extra expense. Give you an idea of what they collect in these extra fees then read this report via BBC. Truthfully people need to tell these companies NO . Even a handbag is next to the list. They are making BILLIONS from from these extra fees!...

THIS and THAT//fashion , festival

Season Changes Well it has finally cooled down which makes it bearable to be outside. Naturally the swimming pools , lakes and rivers have seen plenty o people . Festivals , Films and Fashion The festival season is winding down, but one that I anxiously wait for is the Venice Film festival. A movie and fashion lover can’t miss it! The return of Clooney on screen in Venice with his gorgeous wife is a highlight. Her fabulous fuchsia gown with the train was stunning . She stole the show! Of course there were other stars on the red carpet but no outstanding dresses . Movies some are getting mentioned . For myself I’m not sure what I be tempted to watch. Julia Roberts new one about college professor sexual harassment is a serious topic . Not light entertainment. One film with Helen mirren, pierce Brosnan about senior mystery book club sounds like light entertainment. The actors are all over 60 , s...
