Listen to the Flowers and the Breeze

Weeds, weeds, everywhere weeds!  That's the story of the front  yard.  The dog lays among the tall grass that is our driveway.   The air is breezy, the sun is warm and I just can't decide whether to take a walk or weed the yard.  Zinnias and cosmos are blooming against the house and are trying to say, "give me some more sun, please!" as the coltsfoot closes in around them.  I can hear them and I know how much this would add to their beauty, so that would be the area to start.

As the air rushes through the leaves, however, I can hear a beautiful whisper that calls, "commme, take a walk in the cool woods".   I believe that a combination walk/weeding session is in order.  This will make the dog, the flowers and me all very happy!

Off we go, up the road

I hope you have a beautiful weekend, whatever you decide to do.

A Quiet Morning

It's Saturday morning, again and the house is slowly waking up. No rushing to answer the alarm clock, no "gearing up" for another day of work.  The road outside is quiet and the sun peeks quietly through the trees almost like it knows we need our rest. Even the dog wants to sleep in.

The urge to fill the day with "stuff" is strong... maybe I should do the laundry, or make a fast trip to the dump or maybe run some errands.  To not fill up the time with activity seems like a waste because there is always something that could be accomplished.  Somehow, I don't think we are supposed to always be in the "running" mode.   So, today I'm putting it in neutral (well, maybe in 1st gear) and I am not rushing thither and yon this hot summer day.  If you have a chance, grab a glass of something cool and sit in the shade with me.

With a Spot of Tea and Coffee

I was just sitting here with my coffee while thinking of a special friend. She is so far away but so near in heart. We think alike, though not exactly; enjoy many of the same things, but not all; We are different but the same. I love laughing with her and talking about serious issues with her. When we're together we always seem to find some special place to go. She lifts me up and I hope that I do the same for her. We have had coffee and watched the news together-- all while on the phone!

For now we have to be parted by many miles but one day we will be together for all of eternity. I hope that in the near future we can spend some time with each other while still upon this earth. Why is 1000 miles so far away?

I miss you and send you flowers.

My Dear Friend, So Far Away

A friend is someone to share with. We may be separated by many miles of road but we are always connected at the heart. Once we lived close, and could drive to see each other in only 15 minutes but that is now 15 hours instead. Alas, you are close at heart!

We share the same moon. At night I can look at it, knowing that you are seeing it at the same time.

I miss you, my dear friend, so far away.
