I remember when we were at Fairweather on Bowen Island, I saw some beautiful flowers. I couldn't pick them because I was in the car. I didn't know what the flowers were called but they were purple and looked like bells. Have you ever left something where it was? Why?
Yes. On many occasions
ReplyDeleteI have left things where they were. Mostly as I recall it was to let the owner retrieve whatever they left behind. A glove or umbrella say. Leaving a flower allows others to also enjoy what you have seen and allows it to live longer. A good choice.
Those were bluebells Jen. It is always good to leave flowers for others to enjoy not to mention the bees. I think most people usually leave things where they are. For one thing it takes effort to move things. That's why people's spaces are often a mess. I usually try to leave people's stuff where it is so that they can hopefully find it again. But often I am tempted to tidy up such as in the case of your sisters' rooms. Dad
ReplyDeleteMost of the times I left them as they were except one time my husband and I went for a walk and couldn't myself, I picked up some wild flowers and put them in my hair. The flowers had a beautiful fragrant and I could smelled them while I was walking but alas...my husband was very upset with me. Needless to say, I don't dare to do it again. But I still collect some wild black berries on side of the road though.
ReplyDeleteHa ha, my husband often says I 'hide' his things when he's looking for something. Actually the item will be just where it belongs. OK I'm guilty, I can't help putting things away, I can't leave things where they are!! Neat home, peaceful mind. Ancient Chinese Wisdom. (or maybe it's just my wisdom!!)
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with leaving wild flowers where they're planted. I love walking the hills, just to see what is blooming and where. I know where all the good places are here.

That's a nice story about the flowers at Fairweather. the flowers there are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI try to leave stuff where it is. Otherwise i'll forget where i put it. So as long as there is a specific place for everything, i'll be able to find it when i most need it. Like my car keys. They always go on the key hangar at the front door, so i always know where they are.
