The grass growing between the pavers at the front of the house has been driving me nuts for weeks.
Water overflowing from the tank in the loft making a mess as it leaks out and over the porch at the door has been driving me nuts for weeks.
Freezing days and nights causing chaos to the mess as it freezes the puddle ready to catch the unsuspecting postman, yes, driving me nuts!
And then today, I hear Ben calling through the gate; “mum, come with your camera, a photo opportunity for your blog”
How special and wonderful and thoughtful is that son of mine as he turns my complaints on their head.
Grass growing where I don’t want it to grow and water dripping where it shouldn’t be dripping, the focus of my discontentment for days and weeks is now frozen into a beautiful still life, melting my heart with its beauty.
The dripping water has frozen each blade of grass that I complained about, in it’s own case of ice, glistening in the sunshine.
The grey, and dirty pavers now a frozen lake of sparkling blue.

Nature; simply beautiful.
