SMELL THE FLOWERS

“Don't hurry and don't worry,
Life's too precious to be rushed,
Take time to hear the blackbird sing
When the evening's hushed.

Don't stumble and don't grumble,
We're only here a while,
So smell the flowers on your way,
Enjoying every mile.

Don't groan a lot, or moan a lot,
Or dwell on stress and strife,
But see the wonders of the world
And all the gifts of life.

Don't hurry and don't worry,
Enjoy the sun and showers,
We're here for such a little while -
Take the time to smell the flowers.”

Thank you, Meg, for lovely opening, this Sunday morning!

I think this morning is a good day for banana nut pancakes. I’ll save you a plate of them, JC!

[MEG33]

Good Morning, yorkie.

You're welcome.
Amen to this wonderful poem.
Love the precious kitty..They do like to smell the flowers.
Wishing you a blessed Sunday.

Hey it’s not bad here this morning. Almost 40 and raining. In a few days it’ll be near zero for a low again. Monday we are expecting snow. Our snow melted all night and there are patches of grass showing this morning.

I like your weather thingy. At this time, your temp is almost exactly what ours is in WI, 38 degrees.

GO AWAY WINTER

Go Away winter
and leave me alone..
i’m tired of being
chilled to the bone.
i want to plant flowers
and sit in the sun
i want to go swimming
“winters no fun!”
i want to open up
windows and doors
i want to go barefoot
and do summer chores
i want to mow grass
and sit in the sun
i want of plant gardens
and have summer fun.
so go away winter
and just leave me be
Summer is where
i want now to be…

Thank you, Meg! I LOVE the flower, though not sure what it is. Peony, perhaps?

WHERE IS SPRING?

[MEG33]

Thank you for this precious poem and graphic, yorkie.
*Think Spring*

[MEG33]

I searched for an answer and had settled on peony, too.
;o)

Hope everybody is well after a hectic week weather-wise.

Gaithers "Revive Us Again"

Oh, I forgot. We need to sing a chorus of “Mary had a little jumbuck” for jaycee.

[MEG33]

Good Afternoon, fewz

Thank you for "Revive Us Again" to go with my opening!
I've been "thinking spring" today with my thank yous.
Wishing you a beautiful Sunday.

[MEG33]

Time for lunch and a nap.
Wishing you a beautiful Sunday afternoon.

so nervous when they start..LOL! I will

a little while! Lunch time and ballgame!

[jaycee]

I meant to tell you my son came by and we had a nice long visit and after he left, my DIL came to bring me 2 rib-eye steaks that my son forgot to bring. He had bought a large (whatever you call it) and had 17 steaks cut from it. Beautiful! DIL had errands to run! Be back soon!
