Good Morning!

New day. New beginning. New intention. Have a wonderful day!

Safety

Happy 3rd of July!!!

Last summer, one of my neighbours protected their impatiens from the sun every afternoon.  

That's what I call vigilance! And do you notice the chain weighing down the umbrella so that it doesn't float away? There was a part of me that wondered why they didn't plant sunflowers or zinnias in this hotspot instead, but no matter. This was their garden, and they seemed to love it, so who was I to question their choice? If you care about something or someone, you will do whatever it takes to keep them safe.

Lily and Ruby like to nap side by side. Ruby feels so safe that she sleeps belly up with her paws in the air!

She feels so safe that she can be her goofy self, even during sleep.

Protect the ones you love, and don't forget to protect yourself. Be safe and be goofy!

Lean on me

Have you asked for help recently?  It can be hard to do. Especially if you are used to looking after yourself.

These monarch butterflies emerged within an hour of each other.

It was a cloudy day. They waited together for their wings to dry, from morning until dusk. Then they disappeared into the sky, separately. 

I love my alone time...

...but together is good too. 

Last week on our walk we saw this...

Give if you can.

Ask if you can't.

 It's all love.

Look and see

I don't know about you, by life has gotten pretty complicated for me, lately.  So I've been looking for the simple, beautiful things that come my way.


 Ruby LOVES the sprinkler!

The sprinkler brought me these...

 and these...

The zinnias brought me this visitor...

The sky is always 

there, even if I have forgotten to look up.

I wonder what will come today...

Jaune

Lily, Ruby and I have been walking a lot lately.  It has been so unbearably hot, that most of the time we walk in the late afternoon or evening.

Something interesting has been happening on our walks.  Have you ever heard the same song several times in one day, in different places?  Well, we have been followed, not by a song, but a colour...

Did you notice it? It started off in small ways. I liked the moss on this tree trunk so I took a photo of it.

 Then I saw this...

These were the first snapdragon to open in the park.

I was starting to wonder what was going on. Once we got back home, I had a look at the echinacea in my own garden.

This one is called "Milkshake"! I feel happy every time I look at them!

It was sooooo hot, we all needed a cool drink.  I decided to keep with the them and have this...

So, what was going on that day?  What was Yellow trying to tell me?  I think it was sending me joy and hope.  It was whispering "Life is a gift! Celebrate what you have! Have FUN!".  Sometimes its hard to hear whispers of happiness.  I am trying to listen more carefully.

After the heat and excercise, it was time for a rest!

Even naps are golden!

Have a Yellow day, friends!

Calm

Last weekend I went with some friends to a very special place...

...where sheep may safely graze. Isn't this peaceful?

No matter where or when you live, there is always work to be done,,,

... but I am getting better at taking time for myself.

 So go ahead!  Stop working, find a quiet spot, and breathe.

Have a happy day!
