After weeks and weeks of rain and fickle temperatures, we finally saw a beautiful, mild, sunny day-and just in time for Easter. Everything is flourishing and blooming, both outside…
And in!
And they were tasty too! White cake with Orange Cream Cheese frosting. I hope everyone had a relaxing, peaceful and fun Easter holiday. I have been uber busy with work and didnāt get to post last week and I missed you all! I hope Spring has found its way into all your lives by now.
Just what makes that little āole ant….
wait…
Hey guys! Are you sleeping on the job!? WAKE UP!!!
Glorious, coveted, revered, taunting, waiting and flaunting all its promises of release, relief, reprieve, retreat, reverence and rejuvenation.
But more than this, Today is unique, not yesterday or tomorrow, but 24 hours of now with all its possibilities. Try to look around and find the very moments that make up this day and savor them.
Magic and wonder are found in the most unexpected places.
Happy #Free48!
It is starting out very happy for me, or at least not as distressing as my week began. And I believe I have my media space problem in a manageable place. Yay!!
I have been working on freeing up some space. Ā Just a test to see how I made out. Ā If you see an image here, we may have a bit of hope. Ā SO glad tomorrow is Friday. Ā What about all of you? Ā Think I will try to find a door…..
I still have some kinks to work out but I may be on to something. Oh yeah this was a favorite doorway from one of the plantation ruins in Florida. Ā I miss our little adventures there. Oh, yeah, and all the sunshine. š
The featured image is of the doorway to Ponce de Leon Lighthouse in Ponce Inlet, Florida, one of my favorite weekly destinations while living there.
āThings are coming along nicely, Camera Lady. I see you have added more herbs and some color to your garden. I love it. I could swear we have met before…ā
Little Green hung around and talked with me, or should I say he listened to me talk, for quite some time with keen interest. He even allowed me to get a few closeups of him before scurrying away. I look forward to tomorrow when he might return.
So, I canāt add any more photos. Apparently WordPress is trying to force me into Premium mode so I may not be back at all. If that is the case I will also be cancelling my regular site at tropicalaffair.me. I donāt like the service or the new tactics of this web system lately.
I hope you all have a great rest of your week. Iāl be out there somewhere…..
āHi, hello there. I heard you were missing your small green Florida pals. I see youāre planting a garden too.ā
āHmmm….those rose bushes look promising. And salad in a pot? Clever!
Photos? Why certainly you may. Just be sure to get my good side.ā
āDo you like this beard? I try to eat well to enhance its brilliant orange hue.
Notice any missing bugs around the house? Yes, well that was me. I hope you donāt mind. I love small spiders and beetles and those-who-shall-not-be-named. Some people are quite sensitive about them.ā
I really must be going…But Iāll be back. Maybe Iāll bring friends. If youād like!
Yep. I went there. I know this might be a cheesy submission forĀ Linda Hillās #SoCS promptĀ today. The word isĀ fab, so well, here you have it.
In my defense it has been a far less thanĀ fabĀ week for me, beginning with the leaking ceiling. Even though the leak itself was repaired the next day, we are still waiting for the ceiling to be repaired. We complained enough that someone came and put up the basic beginnings of a ceiling, so at least we put the washer and dryer back into place and-yay!-we can do laundry again. You never realize what a luxury that is unless you have ever been without it. Which I have. A few times. A toilet that works-indoors-and a nice washer and dryer head up my top ten list of conveniences.
As for whiter than white towels, I love those nifty colorsafe Clorox pucks. Not that I have enthralling over-the-fence gab sessions about them. Who has the time? Or the energy. After this past week I am tempted to bury my head under a pillow until the Fourth of July. I could use some beautiful fireworks about now.
To my friend and bar patronĀ DanĀ thanks for the shout out and photos of that yummy food today. You have inspired me to climb out of bed and make a spectacular dinner. Or at least go and find one. Check out Danās bar conversation today. I hear his bartender makes a mean Michelada. š
