I turned on my computer this morning to write a new post. I didn't know what I was going to write about until I looked at my screensaver, it is a lovely photograph of some sparkly stars. I got to thinking about stars and why I love them so much. Then I thought about hearts and circles, all these very basic shapes are precious to me. Then it dawned on me, you see these shapes, everywhere in every country and culture, they are symbolic and mean something. Hearts the symbol of love, stars symbolic of heaven or of a higher being, the circle symbolizing the full circle of life, birth, marriage, death. It's no wonder these simple things are so important to us, and I thought it was to do with fashion! Silly me!

    I planted the peonies at the weekend and hope they take, although, I have the death touch with plants so it may be in vain, but I have been wanting peonies in my garden for a very long time! Hope I can wait 3 years! ha ha!

    Have a lovely day!

    Hi Linda,

    Thanks for your comment on my post! You chose some beautiful photographs to put on your blog. Because it's rainy and wet in Holland I like the red ones with the hearts on it the best. They look so cheerful!

    Happy weekend!

    Lieve groet, Madelief
