A GREAT PLEASURE

Emma Goldman said:

"I'd rather have roses on my table 

than diamonds on my neck"

And I say I really like flowers but yes I want a diamond too. 

I have not seen any in my life yet.

( I embroidered this tablecloth)

This is a beautiful poem wrote for Nezahualcótl:

Nezahualcóyotl was a philosopher, warrior, architect, poet and ruler (tlatoani) of the city-state of Texcoco in pre-Columbian Mexico

Con Flores Escribes…

Con flores escribes, Dador de la vida,
Con cantos das color,
Con cantos sombreas
A los que han de vivir en la tierra.
Después destruirás a águilas y tigres,
Sólo en tu libro de pinturas vivimos,
Aquí sobe la tierra.
Con tinta negra borrarás
Lo que fue la hermandad,
La comunidad, la nobleza.
Tú sombreas a los que han de vivir en la tierra.

With flowers You paint...
O Giver of Life!
With songs You give color,
with songs You shade
those who will live on the earth.
Later You will destroy eagles and tigers:
we live only in Your painting
here, on the earth.

With black ink You will blot out
all that was friendship,
brotherhood, nobility.

You give shading
to those who will live on the earth.
We live only in Your book of paintings,
here on the earth

Wellcome Summer

These photos are from Xochitla Park . 

This park is beautiful and its a relaxing place.

“And so with the sunshine and the great bursts of leaves growing on the trees,

 just as things grow in fast movies, 

I had that familiar conviction 

that life was beginning over again with the summer.” 

 F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby

Every summer has a story

A life without love is like a year without summer 

Swedish Proverb

 Nothing is more memorable than a smell. 

One scent can be unexpected, momentary and fleeting, 

yet conjure up a childhood summer beside a lake in the mountains..."

Diane Ackerman

Enjoying the nature

Early I took a little walk.

What beautiful is live! 

Nature is wonderful

I took this photo. 

Trees

I think that I shall never see 

A poem lovely as a tree. 

A tree whose hungry mouth is prest 

Against the earth's sweet flowing breast; 

A tree that looks at God all day, 

And lifts her leafy arms to pray; 

A tree that may in summer wear 

A nest of robins in her hair; 

Upon whose bosom snow has lain; 

Who intimately lives with rain. 

Poems are made by fools like me, 

But only God can make a tree. 

Joyce Kilmer

ARBOLES

"Creo que jamás mis ojos podrán ver,
Poema tan dulce como un árbol al amanecer.
Un árbol cuya hambrienta boca,

Presiona el corazón de la tierra que toca.
Un árbol que a Dios mira todo el día,
Y en oración eleva sus hojosos brazos cada día.
Un árbol que lucir puede en verano,
El nido de un ruiseñor en su cabello adornado.
Sobre cuyo pecho la lluvia ha reposado,
Pues con ella vive íntimamente ligado.

Los tontos como yo suelen escribir poesía,
Pero sólo Dios puede crear árboles cada día"

Joyce Kilmer

Una nueva vida / A new life

Yo estoy aquí nuevamente. 

Con muchas ganas de vivir de aprovechar la vida.

I am here again. 

I want to live deep.

Hoy  observo detenidamente mi jardín, 

la naturaleza me trae nuevas y maravillosas vistas. 

Así es la vida, hay momentos en los que Dios le indica a  nuestro cuerpo, 

a nuestra alma, nuestros pensamientos que realicemos cambios maravillosos, 

en los que sentimos que dejamos atrás muchas cosas para comenzar otras, 

en las que debemos decidir estar cada día mejor y mejor. 

Today  I observe carefully my garden,

 nature brings me new and wonderful views.

Such is life, there are times when God speak our body, our soul, 

our thoughts we must make wonderful changes, 

when we feel we left behind many things to start other, 

in which we choose to be better every day.

My right knee has been operated. 

Doctors have set me a prosthesis. 

I am well.

               

Thank you God,

Thank you Heavenly Angels

Thank you my parents

Thank you my husband

Thank you my sister

Thank you my nephew

Thank you my doctors

Thank you my friends

Thank you everybody

I FEEL WELL

Today I woke up so happy and so relaxed while I have not felt, I think it's because spring came early, and I start to feel more energetic.

My garden begins to bloom.

Thank you God for your blessings.

God Almighty first planted a garden. And indeed it is the 

purest of human pleasures. It is the greatest refreshment

 to the spirits of man, without which, buildings and 

palaces are but gross handiworks, and a man shall ever 

see, that when ages grow to civility and elegancy, men

come to build stately, sooner than to garden finely; as if 

gardening were the greater perfection.

Sir Frances Bacon (1561- 1626)

A HEART TREE

MEXICAN CHRISTMAS DECORATION

I have been sick but yesterday I have been able go for a walk in Texcoco.

There is a beautiful church, with beautiful flowers and a beautiful Mexican Christmas decoration.

                                                                        Inside the church

I set this decoration in my table:

ACCION DE GRACIAS / THANKSGIVING 2012

I am Mexican, but I like to celebrate Thanksgiving day, although I give thanks God everyday, this day I tell:

Thank you God for all the blessing you fill my  life.

Thank you God for the oxygen which is the principal food for my body.

Thank you God for the water which clean my body internally and externally.

Thank you God for my husband, family and friends, who are with me now I am sick.

Thank you God for so many things.

Today My husband and I have cooked, cream with onion, chives, marjoram, rosemary, basil, one tomato, one garlic, green tomatoe and milk. Also we cooked burguers. And the dessert Panacota.

I ask God, please blessing my blogger friends.

HALLOWEEN AND AUTUMN DECORATION FOR MY HOME

At my country, each year more people celebrate Halloween. I like to decorate my home. 

 When I was a little girl I liked this fun song:

FALL COLORS

And the fall bring us their beautiful colors. Each time has his beautiful. God's beauty:

 To Autumn 

by William Blake

O Autumn, laden with fruit, and stain'd

With the blood of the grape, pass not, but sit

Beneath my shady roof; there thou may'st rest,

And tune thy jolly voice 

to my fresh pipe,

And all the daughters of the year shall dance!

Sing now the lusty song of fruits and flowers.

The narrow bud opens her beauties to
The sun, and love runs in her thrilling veins;
Blossoms hang round the brows of Morning, 

and

Flourish down the bright cheek of modest Eve,
Till clust'ring Summer breaks forth into singing,
And feather'd clouds strew flowers round her head

 The spirits of the air live in the smells
Of fruit; and Joy, with pinions light, roves round
The gardens, or sits singing in the trees.'

Thus sang the jolly Autumn as he sat,
Then rose, girded himself, and o'er the bleak
Hills fled from our sight; but left his golden load.

GOOD BYE SUMMER

Today I fell nostalgic, maybe summer 

is saying Good-bye. I know Life is same.

But there is a lot of beautiful things for 

felling me happy: love of God,

a good song, 

beautiful flowers.

These Roses are from my garden

"A life filled with love must have some 

thorns, but a life empty 
of love will have no roses" 

-unknown

I AM LUCKY: PLUMS.

Fortunately This summer, our plum tree  gave us a lot of 

candy fruits.

I said: 

What am I going with so many plums? Oh Yes, Jam.
