The Gift Of Time . . .

rambling here, stay with me 

I went flower picking 

which means, time for flower play

flowers, paints, books

 seem to be my daily happenings of late

my art room is in the kitchen

two island drawers full

easy to pull things out 

and go at it

watercolor paint, acrylic

depends on the day

brushes, paper, canvas, pens

shattered wood pieces, flat stones

if it is not

playing with flowers 

it is 

watercolor or reading 

two reading speeds for this gal 

not reading much or constantly reading

right now

constant

I have painted this several times

repeating a painting 

stimulates learning

for me anyway

Jeanie from 

The Marmelade Gypsy

and 

Vista Print 

taught me how to make cards 

from my photographs and watercolor 

what fun that is 

just thought you would like to know

what I do

when I am not outdoors

mowing, plant tending, 

or picking up sticks from windy storms

after steamy, buggy weather

or when I am with “Mister Irish”

out and about

enjoying sunset rides

dinner out

BTW 

he is driving, he has his own new/old car 

Life Is Good 

and of course laundry, cooking baking

visiting and coffee with friends

leg/arm exercises on flat surfaces each morning

walking as much as I can

they are a major part of my days as well

enjoy your weekend 

‘til next time

love

I’m Back . . .

 SOMETHING NEW

HUGE

MAJESTIC

I started this a few days ago, 

I was making a turn around in a parking lot and as I 

came to the stop sign and looked ahead 

there was this HUGE tree.  

I loved the huge trunk, 

heavy limbs,

sturdy and proud.  

I posted it on Facebook.

Wondered if anyone would recognize the tree.  

So far . . . no one has. 

And that got me on a roll of looking

for ONE PICTURE and ONE WORD.  

I like it, so trying some more here.  

The next picture was taken 

on our screened in porch. 

Cut some of my ANNABELLE Hydrangeas

and made a bouquet.  

One person said it reminded her of 

popcorn balls. 

The final picture was taken by a friend 

who caught a glimpse of an Eagle in her camera,

thought it flew away 

and then suddenly it was back in view.

It is one of her favorite, treasured photos.  

And she sent it on for me!  

No doubt about it.

MAJESTIC

Snipping Zinnias . . .

I know … it has been way too long, 

but here I am, I haven’t given up quite yet! 

My favorite thing to do ever is to go out

snipping flowers and making arrangements.  

Thought you might enjoy seeing the 

zinnias and other flowers I snipped today.  

Not much color around our yard because of the shade, 

we have plenty of green, different ground covers, 

green plantings though. 

My dear friend Barb invited me to come to her home today

and snip some of her zinnias and flowers.

So off I went and snip I did. 

I gathered my flowers, brought them home,

gathered containers, vases, jars 

and some of my Annabelle’s,

ferns, leaves, white pine, spruce from our yard.

And I did some “flower play!”

I promise to not be gone so long 

between postings in the future.  

‘til next time,

love
