As spring continues to mellow with warm and dry days beckoning us increasingly out of doors, the living spaces of our home increase accordingly.  Becoming more inviting, more infused with colour and brightness, and drawing us to enjoy the seasonal outdoor 'rooms' of our home.

We find it soothing and comfortable to take our relaxation out of doors.  Sitting on the deck, enjoying the quiet and privacy of an extension of our house.  Where light breezes caress us, the sweetly brilliant sound of robins and cardinals and song sparrows are the music that appear most appropriate to the occasion, and the fragrance of blooming fruit trees waft on the air.

A glance around our immediate surroundings rewards us with colour and texture, and the sight of bees, butterflies and beetles taking advantage in their very own natural manner to themselves take what they must from these seasonal occasions.

Working in the gardens to perform maintenance and the numberless little tasks that invite the gardener to engage in that most pleasurable of activities provides an additional measure of comfort and enjoyment in the season.  Anticipating the growth and bloom of perennials, the maturation of annuals and the blaze of the colour palette that will ensue as the seasons progress all conspire to make for deep satisfaction in life.
