What lovely things can you see and hear this morning?

I am lying on the floor of my bedroom doing physio exercises. I can see blue sky through the window and the sunlight is casting leafy shadows on the wall. I can hear chill
music DH is playing, birds tweeting and the sound of the children playing next door (they are lovely children). It's very tranquil and relaxing.

Let's have a positive Sunday morning reset.

I can see the sunny garden with the most wonderful cerulean blue sky, not a cloud in sight. The patio door is open and a flock of goldfinches are chattering around the bird feeders. Next door have their adult children visiting and I can hear the murmur of conversation from their garden. DH and I are sitting quietly reading in a very companionable silence which is comforting after a busy stressful week. I’m very content this morning with the simple things, as I’m recovering from surgery and an infection and am starting to feel myself again.

I can see sunlight through the trees in our flat's communal garden. Not too hot today so it is actually pleasant to have the windows open. I can hear church bells, distant traffic, birdsong. I can also hear my elderly neighbour talking to her carer about how far to walk and another neighbour has just stopped playing the piano....the silence is nice. 😄

Wishing you a good recovery @WildlyInappropriate

I too can see a stunning blue sky and I’m looking up through a bush of bright green leaves and bright red rosehips. Beautiful.

I can see the beach and families playing on it.

I can see clear blue sky and hear birdsong. ❤️

The blue skies seem to be widespread. It's such a beautiful day.

Only a patch of blue sky here but after several weeks of rain and grey skies I'll take that. Can see the sea loch, sheep, cows and a buzzard. Can hear lots of bird song.

Sitting in the greenhouse, potting up some young plants, all I can hear is my chickens quietly crooning happily to themselves, the sound of birdsong, the sheep in a neighbouring field occasionally bleating, a tractor working in a far off field and the buzzing of my bees busy gathering nectar from the few plants which are still in flower after the drought! Visually I can see clear blue skies with the odd cloud, butterflies flitting around in my wild flower lawns and the beautiful sight of the Quantock Hills in the background. Bliss!

Blue sky, sunshine, birds singing, and the sound of my horses hooves crunching through fallen leaves on our solo ride out earlier this morning. Was lovely but bittersweet with the leaves indicting Summer is almost over.
