Question: Can simplicity make you blissful?

Answer : Yes, when you find beauty there.

I took this photo at Thuya Garden in Northeast Harbor a few weeks ago. I fell  in love with the cottage with its details and atmosphere. The cottage sets just on the outside of the gardens, blue in color with crisp white trim. It is very inviting to all who pass by it daily to see its gardens and pathways. I can only imagine what it would be like to stay there in its quietness. I picture it full of beautiful books, photos,and quaintness. I could really appreciate its inviting nature,as I looked around its grounds I found the potting shed. Wheelbarrow outside waiting for its owner to take it out for the days work. A broom at attention leaning against the wall under a window with its window box brimming with colorful summertime flowers. A blue door ajar teasing you to come inside and see the world from its exterior. Paned windows with white trimmed cracked paint. It almost makes you a bit sad to think of the quiet lonely winters there standing and waiting for spring to arrive. Hearing the cold winter air travel through the barren lifeless garden. All quiet still and peaceful.

So does this place bring Bliss? Yes, for the fleeting moments we call summer, most certain there is Bliss.
