Time's up!


This is another one of those wonders...

Why am I crazed half the time?

I was told that I have to slow down.
How? 

The older I get, the less time I seem to have...

I talk to friends, they feel the same way. 
Humm...

Time-
All I know is that I never seem to have enough of it.

No, it's not disorganization. Or is it? 
I'll ponder that thought.

I've learned something from the grandchildren-

Just pretend. 
It's true!

I pretended that my laundry was done.
I pretended the grocery shopping was done.
I pretended my errands were done.

I love pretending!

Ha, it only took me two laundry loads to decide, the heck with it and start this pretending thing.
My subconscious kicked in and made it so!

I decided to play.

I went outside and decided to wrap myself in the glory of it being another scorcher of a day...

I pretended it was cool and in the mid 70's...

Here's what I saw through my trusty little Cannon-

 The yellow in this hibiscus bloom is the sunlight shining through it...

 Is that not a pretty blue sky behind the yellow bells? Oh, I'm in love with the yellow against that sky blue. 

Sparkling pool water...ahh

Faithful Lantana~

Love the rich green and bright yellow again...

Moss rose, or is it rose moss? It does not like it this hot. I like the part at the top against the amazing sky!

Hibiscus bush is thriving! Guess how tall it is?

I admit, forgot what kind of plant this gorgeous orange bloom is from, any thoughts?

Oh my, this little periwinkle is showing off! What a dazzling color!


Time's up!

Blog and go!

    I think that I will pretend that ALL of these flowers are in MY yard! Pretending makes me feel young, doesn't get the work done but what the heck... I am young:) Have a blessed evening, HUGS!

    The periwinkle is my favorite. My garden is fading fast but thankfully we finally have rain. Now that I am retired I am very busy too and I ask myself the very same questions.

    I never have enough time either-even with planning and re-planning- I come up short of time. Your flowers are beautiful. Ours are mostly done now. I don't know what the orange one is either-but it is a Fallish looking bloom, isn't it? Hope you have time for a nice cool drink before you get back to laundry! xo Diana

    I sometimes need a play break and then I can go back to my responsibilities! Pretending is a fun game for sure. Love the flowers you still have in your yard.

    Beautiful pictures! Glad you decided to 'play pretend' so we can see them! I walked our dog, Lucy, tonight and it was 89 degrees!! All your plants look lovely! I MUST remember to water mine tomorrow. At least give them a sporting chance!

    Hello, Nancy
    Thanks so much for stopping by my blog.
    Your garden is still so colourful.
    As for thoughts on time, part of my problem is just a wee bit of procrastination every now and again(and again). Pretending hasn't got the hall and stairwell painted, oddly enough. :)

    Woohoo, your flowers are just amazin' sweetie and that pool so clear and invitin'.

    I've got to close mind down. It's been to cool to 'dip' since Labor Day but I always think I'll warm up and I'll get one last swim in.

    God bless and have a terrific Thursday sweetie!!!

    I do believe that gorgeous orange blossom is Plumeria (Frangipani)! I've never seen it in that color before, wow. I love Lantana, too :) I've never seen Yellow Bells before, either...how pretty they are.
