I woke in a dreamy state at 6am to a bright cool Sunday morning, it's only 11c (50f) but should warm up later...... having spent most of yesterday working on computers I feel like getting back to nature, so will return to doing some more pruning in the garden........ here are a few floral watercolours which somehow bring up memories of my childhood, when flowers seemed to be everywhere and I was recall being overwhelmed by the colours and scents....... I wish you all a peaceful Sunday......
A very good Monday morning to you all, I found a very old pack of melatonin pills in my bedside drawer, so I thought I would try one last night to help me sleep, I had forgotten how awful they make me feel the following morning though ... all groggy and out of it........so I will need extra coffee to get going today.............. needless to say, the pills have gone in the bin, so I won't be tempted again... For most of my married life we had border collie dogs, just like the one below, which I have always loved, though they do need a lot of exercise..........nowadays I prefer cats really, but because Cathy has a dog and I travel so much, it's not practical to have one
It's been awhile since I dropped in to see how everyone is doing and also to read new posts. With school out and my daughter and her famiy moving back here this summer has been a busy one indeed. School starts again this Wednesday though for most of my Grandkids and in September my two youngest grandkids will start going twice a week to a Mother's Day Out program. So this should slow things down a bit and give me some time to read and post more often. I look forward to time together with y'all again and I hope everyone is doing well and has a really special week.
Good morning from a wet Worcester today and it's supposed to continue raining all day, I don't mind really it gives me an excuse to stay indoors and tidy up, I have several desktop and laptop computers in various states of disrepair, so I need to sort them out. The girls and I are going to the cinema tonight to see a film/movie called "Hampstead" it's got mixed reviews but it seems like our kind of film....... here is the trailer it stars Diane Keaton and based on a true story ... On this grey damp morning red sensual dancing seems the way to go
It woud be so nice to be sitting on this porch right now drinking my morning cofffee and eating the extra piece of my granddaughter's Birthday cake my daughter so thoughtfully sent home with me to enjoy once again. I really miss the ocean right now and would love to be sitting close enough to it to hear the music of the waves as they dance again the shoreline. My trip to the beach awhile back got side tracked by a Tropical Storm and then by my daughter and her family moving back here and needing my help with the little ones while she and her husband searched for their new Home. So my Honey and I have set a new date for going in September which is his Birthday month too. With children back in school and summer vacations over with, the traffic should be much better for our travels too. But it's hard waiting when one feels a need and yearning for the beach now. So finding beach scenes helps me "take myself" there in my daydreams and eases my yearnings. I know I've been gone awhile from the Forum and do I hope everyone has been doing well during my time away...at least as good as we can expect at our age. I often thought of everyone but by the time I finished with the things I had to do during the busy season of my daughter and her family moving back...I was to tired to even open up my laptop for anything but checking my bank balance, etc. I am glad things are starting to slow back down now and I will have more time once again to come and sit and chat awhile here where I feel so at home too May today bring sunshine and laughter to your hearts and a special memory to cherish forever.
@Babs Hunt ...I miss the house that Ike took away. Love the beach and the waves ...the smell....memories there were short lived...but unforgettable . My hubby is still off work due to his fall at work....almost two months ago! Basically hes fine, but WC moves slow. We both are sick of heat ,tv and long days. Today he wants me to go with him to look at wood....lol I can hardly wait. Oooh well still can be a good day .
I know what you mean @Gloria Mitchell It seems the older we get the more things there are to "interfere" with our being able to to the things we really would enjoy doing. But that's life and one thing we can be grateful for is just still waking up each morning to another day of life. If your husband has been cooped up with you for two months because of his fall...y'all probably both have some of what we call "cabin fever" right now which only makes that heat, tv and long days very dull indeed. While you're going to look at that wood...maybe you can see some pretty flowers and scenery along the way. And stop for an ice cream cone too.
