Because of my health, I no longer am able to walk the grounds of Finnmark.The beauty of this great piece of property is a sight to behold. We have won a couple of awards for our landscaping. We also have living on our property some amazing gardeners.
These days I sit on my balcony and admire the courtyard and whatever else falls within my view.
If you have never walked the grounds during the spring and summer . you should do so. There are some really pretty sights- whether it is the natural beauty of our trees and shrubbery, or your neighbors patios and balconies.
I enjoy my balcony, for the privacy. When the tree in front of my balcony is in bloom, I am hidden from everyone and it is like my own private Eden. I can listen to the music, enjoy the sights and sounds of local wildlife, sip a Campari and soda, and admire the beauty of the trees and shrubs.
I have squirrels and chipmunks, scurrying around in the grass, numerous birds, butterflies and sometimes insects I do not recognize. Early in the morning I can see a family of rabbits, the occasional deer and soon ducks and Canadian geese.
Those of you who are mobile- and are able to get around- take a walk- admire the sights, say hello to a neighbor. Check out the courtyards, the patios and the balconies.
Enjoy the walk and enjoy the beauty that is Finnmark.
