Wow! I hadn't been on my blogspot for a while and so was trying to find it and, in so doing, came across a couple of other blogspots and webpages of similar name by women also attempting to create a place on the screen for themselves. I had no idea that I was not alone in this search for meaning - well, I knew that I wasn't alone but seeing the others, realized we had the same idea for the same title of our own little places here in webland.
The air is fresh today. It has turned warm as the day has gone on. My neighbour is busy changing her front flower garden to be her own. They moved in not too many months ago - it is a totally new house - and the garden was planted by the landscapers who were hired by the people that built the house. Simple bushes and green plants were used. Boring but neat and tidy. My neighbour has planted tulip bulbs I bet - hidden under the soil until the spring's warmth encourages the flowers out. Hopefully she covered them all in wire or the squirrels that are making quick work of the chestnuts falling off her front trees will dig them up and demolish them aswell.
Today I have been dreaming of my own land. I'm reading a ficticious novel that takes place back in the 1700s; the days of homesteading. We don't actually own the land here in Canada - we kinda lease it from the crown - but everyone calls and thinks of it as ownership anyway. Today I saw myself puttering around making my own piece of land mine. We are still renting and I am extremely appreciative to have such a wonderful place in which to live but there are times when I yearn for my own well affordable little, or not so little, place of my own. Somewhere that I can add to and make mine like my neighbour with her garden. Somewhere to pass on to the kids when that time comes on. Sigh. I haven't totally given up hope on that although the years are advancing and life seems to be about survival at the moment rather than prosperity. I don't think of it often but there still is this part of me that yearns of a place to make my own.
Send a thought or a prayer for me
into the air for me
that one day I may see fufilled
the dreams of my mind - NABK
