About the kindness...


I was on my way home a fortnight ago, 


and, as usual, I passed next to of the nice garden which I have already used  once as a background for my photos


The garden was especially beautiful because it was full of flowers  


Of course, to keep a garden in orden requires a lot of work, and in fact there was a lady who was taking care of the roses


I stopped for a moment admiring the garden, so the woman offered me a bunch of those flowers...


at home I thought that the kindness makes this world a better place where to live!



( by the way, it has been quite chilly recently here and I have restyled the asimmetrycal dress I wore some weeks ago )

    This dress look so pretty with the sweater and the sandals. It's been cool here in my part of the US this summer also. How nice to receive fresh flowers. Kindness does matter!

      I love the way flowers can change the atmosphere of a room, so that has been a very welcome gift!

    Yes, the world would be better with more kindness everywhere. The garden is lovely for your walk home. I must do some planting in my backyard!

      The gift of that lady surprised me. Kindness is becoming unusual nowadays ... what a pity!

    A sweet story. Perfect for the sweet dress your wearing. You seem to love dresses with simple shapes but a unique cut?...

    You are a very kind person and you attract goodness! I love the sweater over the dress and belted! Your sunglasses are a stylish complement.

      Thanks Dana, a belt worn over a sweater gives the outfit a special style. Doesn't it?

    I totally agree. The world is indeed a better place with acts of kindness. I try to do my bit. Very pretty flowers!
    And I like your styling with the belt and shoes.

    I love fresh flowers, I would have been thrilled too! I just had my husband pick a bloom off our hydrangea over the weekend so we could enjoy it indoors as well. And before I forget--I love the belt!

      that belt has a bow at the front which is very nice, but a little annoying underneath a jacket!!

    Hydrangeas are beautiful, how nice of the owner!
    Today I am wearing a sleeveless dress to work but already put on my cardigan... strange weather.
    I love the combination with your long cardigan and the small belt, Dan, it looks great!

    HI Dan,
    Love that drapey gray dress, and shoes. Those flowers are beautiful, and that was indeed kind of her to give you a bunch. I now that an act like that is touching, and I am often treated kindly, even in NYC, and i love to practice daily kindnesses: it changes the whole vibe of my day.

    This is so nice of the lady, the owner of the garden. The flowers are beautiful. At one side I wish I had a garden, but at the other side, I know it's a lot of work.
    Dear Dan, you look very pretty in this dress with the cardigan.

      Yes Cla, a garden would require a lot of work! That wouldn't be for me either! Better admire those that other people take care of!!
