CHELSEA FLOWER SHOW !!!!!!!

Today my happiness is directly proportional to the soreness of my feet, and even if I went back home about one hour ago... a huge smile is still printed on my face!

Could you guess why??? Oh yes, exactly: I was at Chelsea Flower Show! :D

And this is only the icing on the cake of very exciting week!

Therefore, come back soon: I have a lot of information, impressions and picture to share with you! :D

In the meanwhile...could you guess where this picture was taken?

Me, tired but happy after the evening spent in one of the best gardens of the show... could you guess which one?

London Tour!

While waiting for Chelsea Fringe and Chelsea Flower Show, I had a successful tour of London's park and green walls!

I can not wait to share it with you! But unfortunatelly it is a soo busy and out-of-the-ordinary-week!
Please, be patient and come back soon! :D

Tomorrow is DIVINE MERCY SUNDAY!!!!!

It is not Thursday and it is not Plant/Garden/Design related, but...

...tomorrow is DIVINE MERCY SUNDAY!!!!!

Image from here 

I couldn't not write it becouse it is my favorite day of the year! If you don't know what I'm talking about, you can read something here! (It is explained in a 'cold' way, but it is in English!)

Jesus asked to Saint Faustina for a feast of Divine Mercy to be established on the first Sunday after Easter so mankind would take refuge in Him. And then He promised that:

"The soul that will go to Confession and receive Holy Communion shall obtain the complete forgiveness of sins and punishment.”(Diary 699)

“I want to grant a complete pardon to the souls that will go to Confession and receive Holy Communion on the Feast of My Mercy.”(Diary 1109)

That is a soooo great day: the doors of Heaven are wide open...and that is why it is my favorite day of the year and I could not stop myself to write it!!! :D

Happy DIVINE MERCY DAY! :D
