"All good things must come to an end...”. Well, at least that is how the saying goes. And there is some truth to it. The past week has been wonderful, but too short and the end was bittersweet. But that is the definition of true happiness; those brief, fleeting moments in time, which are precious and seem to elude us defiantly.
I find consolation in the fact that one day in the future this happiness will return to me. Every end has a beginning and everything goes in circles; I prefer to be happy for a few fleeting seconds in what seems like eternity, than never have to have the privilege to know happiness at all.
The Irishman brings not just sunshine into my heart and soul, but he also brings true, real sunshine with him every time. The weather breaks all the records upon his visits.
And this time was no exception; the last few days were filled with blue skies and plenty of sun.
Nature has changed significantly and visibly in the last couple of weeks. I took a picture of my fast growing clematis this past Sunday and the difference a week has made is blatantly obvious. A small collage further signifies the alterations that the warm April brought to my garden.
We are now on the threshold to the summer months, with the long days, white nights and the unique kind of magic that is so symbolic of Scandinavia.

It is these fleeting moments and days of happiness that are the most treasured and memorable, I think. Where would we be without those moments!
The Scandinavian summer hinting on the horizon must hold such promise - all that wonderful light. We are in the midst of a couple of lovely warm sunny days here in the UK too.
So glad to have you back!!
xx
You have been missed. So glad you enjoyed your time with your lovely man...I agree with the few fleeting seconds of happiness...I'll take it every time!
Enjoy the sunshine my friend!
How sweet that even the weather rejoices with you when your Irishman comes! Looks like everything is turning green there!
Ah those handsome Irishmen with their charms - I married mine!
You are so right, happiness always steals away a little light when it has to be taken away. You have your memories and the promise of more..hold that thought, your inner strength will sort out the rest.
He's magic, the Irishman Weatherman. Maybe just the way you guys feel together brings on a change in the weather?
Missed ya, Z! Glad to be back!
I missed you, darlin'... sorry you're sad about P leaving... but you'll see him again soon! Enjoy the sun in the meantime :) xo
Awww, so glad you had great days! Welcome back.
I couldn't agree more with you on your idea of happiness. Happiness are little moments that are worth thousand of days. They begin, and end rather quickly. But that is why they are more valuable, and desired and hope for.
Nature has turn green and pretty in April! Another reason to be happy.
It's so good to hear you singing the song of life- Joy.And with someone so close to heart.Aha, I see the leaves are turning green again. How magical. So nice to have you back in cyberspace :))
Spring and happiness, what more is there to wish for?
Glad to hear you enjoyed your time with your sweet Irishman. Sounds like you are having delightful weather!
Hugs,
Donna
Your happiness bring sunshine. And he'll return soon. :)
I love your comparison photos.. great job. Maybe you'll add to it each month. ;)
It's such a pleasure to have you back in "Bloggerland", but I can understand your bittersweet feeling of slightly fading happiness.
I knew I would not be disappointed in visiting Denmark today...I so enjoyed your before and after garden photographs!
Thank you. I try my best to share with you a piece of my wardrobe, what I like to wear on a daily or weekly basis as well as what I've been listening to. :)
Legs Legs Legs = lol, I'm blushing here. :)
My Mom once told me, life is made up of moments, if you were happy all of the time, well then, you wouldn't know it. You might just miss it. Moments are what a life is made up of; those special moments. :)
xo!
I nearly cried. I am so glad that you enjoyed your precous time with Mr. P. I am sorry that special times like that fly by so fast, and end all too soon. I am feeling a little meloncholy myself being back from visiting with my family. I guess that is what makes it all the more enjoyable.
I loved your pictures today. Just gorgeous. He is like magic for you,...always bringing the sunshine with him. Just your brand of medicine.
I wish you lived nearer to each other. (((hugs)))
"I prefer to be happy for a few fleeting seconds in what seems like eternity, than never have to have the privilege to know happiness at all." Beautiful words, Protege. And I also wish both of you lived nearer to each other.
By the way, your garden is showing more greens! very nice! And good to hear that your days were full of sunshines. What a difference the Irishman can bring. hehe :)
