Day 13 - Pondering the pond

Another day at work so little time to sit with nature and breathe in its scent. We have, however, taken to sitting in the garden with a cup of tea after work and just reflecting on nature in the midst of urbanity (relative urbanity that is). There's our pond with the pond skaters having been fruitful and  multiplied, there's the fruitful gooseberry bush and every day one or two strawberries, both cultivated and wild varieties. The cooking apples are getting bigger, as are the damsons and we are looking forward to picking the harvest from our own garden. Sitting in the warmth reflecting on these things is good for the soul I have found, and hopefully will soon be good for the stomach too!
