Wonderful surprise gift from a special guest

A gift is always very special this one now forms part of the history of De Oude Huize Yard 

Wendy and Hanchen stayed with us.
They are marketing Nursing as an Occupation in our area.
We have had a wonderful time talking and learning about the life of our guests.    

Little did we know that they will stay at our establishment during a second trip.
It was then that we were presented with this beautiful original painting dating back to 1890.  

Look at the beautiful dafodills . . . so charming in spring 

He who lives in harmony with himself lives in harmony with the universe.
Marcus Aurelius

Reach high, for stars lie hidden in your soul. 

Dream deep, for every dream precedes the goal. 

  Pamela Vaull Starr 

This wonderful oil painting by Anton Ferreira dated back to 1890
will now form part of the history of De Oude Huize Yard 

The ground we walk on, 

the plants and creatures,

 the clouds above constantly dissolving into new formations - 

each gift of nature possessing its own radiant energy, 

bound together by cosmic harmony.
