Lol…I completely understand that.

Today we had beautiful weather. Started out in the mid 40’s, and got to 75!! Very windy but otherwise sunny…therefore…BEAUTIFUL!! I did a lot of yard work for one day. It’s been a while! Felt good! I got my 10 K steps in much earlier than usual!

It was mostly a Spring cleanup that’s been badly needed. I still have more to do, but the rest will have to wait until Sunday, if it’s not raining.

Walmart had some Ranunculus planters beckoning to me when I went for a few groceries to round out dinner tonight (fish fry from church, but their coleslaw is horrible; I can make much better but needed cabbage and carrots.) So I found a planter with 4 different colors, pink, purple, white, and yellow. They always remind me of one of my grade school friends. Her mom used to grow them, so she always had some, and now, I have to have them for as long as they’ll last here.

This gal is one of my three oldest friends, from grade school. I didn’t know it back then, but she and I share a very similar background, so there are many things that we both seem to take comfort in. One is flowers, and another is birds. Nature somehow calms us and brings us back to our best selves.

Make new friends, but keep the old. One is silver, and the other gold.

Nice post, I make my own coleslaw too. I like it fresh and crunchy. I’ve been doing short posts, been pooped getting back up to steam outside.
