@Terry: Hi again Terry. Changing your wall art is a great idea. I hadn’t thought of that; it’s a lovely ritual. I have a watercolour a friend painted for me of a snowy scene; perhaps I can talk her into the other three seasons too
Enjoy your art!

@Mrs Green: Hi Mrs. Green,

Another thing I do to keep the seasons, is to change my office wall art to the season. I have bare trees for winter, spring buds for spring, full blooms for summer and autumn leaves for fall.

I actually use the same frames, but insert different pictures. Most of the pictures can actually be stored behind the current season, so I don’t need to find someplace else to put the artwork.

@Terry: Hi Terry; great to see you and thank you for your comment. You’re right - bringing outdoors indoors is a great reminder of the rhythms and pace of nature.

Your seasonal fruit bowl is a lovely reminder of what is going on out there.
What other ways do you keep in harmony with the natural rhythms of life?

The concept of Nature Tables is an excellent one. I think bringing the outdoors inside is a great thing.

We also do this in our home on a simple scale with a fruit bowl that features in season market fruit and vegetables from our local farmers market.
