Oh dear - it happend again

Lars wanted to surprise me!  He came out in the garden and sat down forabt. 10min before I sawhim. He's so caring - He was sitting there in the hot sun! He did want me to be out alone! When I saw him, I suggested that we should go unto the other side of the house - the sun was not so dominant there. Lars was ok with that.

At some point, I'm some distance away from him. There is a bump and I thought: what a strange sound! But continue to weed.

Suddenly Lars' voice sounds through the air: I need help!
I got up, and saw Lars was lying on the ground. He had fallen.

I grabbed a blanket and called home care. They came very quickly, and together we helped Lars up. Lars was checked, and it was clear that he had hit his head and upper arm. Whether it was because he had gotten too much sun, or whether he became dizzy because he was trying to get up, alone. We don't know. Lars can't remember falling.

We now need a walker that he can use every time he is outside. It makes his walk more safe and secure.

The next day, Lars slept almost all day. He was a sore.
Fortunately, he is well again now.

While weeding weeds today, it occurred to me that there is a comparison in between the phases of life and garden life.

In the spring, everything comes to life - mixed with weeds, which must be weeded away, to make room for the "little ones" so they can thrive and grow big - in the short time they have for it. We all love this time: after the winter, it is so nice to be able to go out again in the garden.

The summer flowers appear in their beautiful splendor, they adorn the garden. They grow large and strong, and may set new seeds. When they have bloomed and some time have pasted, they will begin to wither away.

After them, the beautiful perennials of autumn come, which have sucked nourishment from the spring, over the summer and until now, when they stand majestic and show themselves. They last a long time - maybe until the cold and frost come. Here some wither, and they will go to sleep again - until it is their turn to come forward again.

Is life like that?
Our little ones have a short time - and a lot needs to be learned. Not least what is good or not so good for us. Somethings we keep, others must be thrown away - just like the weeds.

Time goes by and we grow up. We start a family - we sow new seeds. We do our best to be a light in the world, especially for our children. Like the summer garden, vi blossom, we shine and we love the sun!

Finally comes the time when we are firmly rooted, life is about to be over. We welcome our family and friends. The time comes when we have blossomed and are laid to rest until we must rise again.

Well, these were just a few thoughts from my walk in the garden today. A day mixed with lot of birdsong. It's so beautiful - so life affirming.

Here are some pictures of the garden. 

The first are abt. 1 month old.

This next one, are from to day. 

These will be given anyone that will take them. 

There are 100+ Narcissus... I hope someone will take them - they are free.

Here are some cards I've made.
