Frogdancer; I pass this house daily and the rosebuds which start out palest pink open to white.
Baino; In spite of preferring rainy days, I'll be glad to see more sunshine and flowers too, but I'm dreading the summer heat.
JahTeh, no, I didn't nick it, although I have been known to "accidentally" knock loose a sprig or two of a succulent which I then plant in pots at home. Mostly these are outside the fences of communal places, not homes, though. I did once steal a flower and got chased down the street a little way by a tiny woman weilding a rake. Another time I was very firmly told off by the lady of the house, so I don't reach into gardens anymore.
The original Words for Wednesday was begun by Delores and eventually taken over by a moveable feast of participants when Delores had computer troubles. Sadly, Delores has now closed her blog forever due to other problems. The aim of the words is to encourage us to write. A story, a poem, whatever comes to mind. If you are posting an entry on your own blog, please let us know so we can come along to read it and add a few encouraging words. This month the words/prompts are supplied by River and can be found here This week's words/prompts are: 1.conviviality 2.adoration 3.willpower 4.mellow 5.gentle 6.guitar Have fun, don't use all the words if you can't,there's no pressure here. My story will appear on this blog on Friday as always, unless I can't write one... edit: Charlotte's colour of the month is Beauty Berry Purple.
Long ago, Kim of Frog Ponds Rock, (who no longer blogs), dreamed up a meme called Sunday Selections. A place where those who were willing could put up photos they wanted to share, new, old, good, bad or indifferent, any photos you please. Nothing rude or vulgar though. And we don't mind at all if other bloggers care to join us. The meme is now continued by Elephant's Child and I join in as do a few others. Andrew is one. Messymimi is another. Drop in to their blogs and have a look. Wisewebwoman has also been joining us occasionally. Brother R came to visit and brought me some old paperwork belonging to my dad, who has been dead for 25 and a half years now. They'd been stored in a container with moth balls and were quite stinky so I pegged them out on the clothes rack in the back porch three days later, most are now inside, but the heavier items such as dad's passports are still smelly so they are still out there. I now have the original copy of his natu...
Every few months since I've had her, Lola has been taken to the vet, just seven minutes walk away from home, for a "manicure" aka getting her talons clipped. In the beginning the cost was $19.90, gradually increasing until her last visit was $29.90 Today's visit? $35.00!! and what did I get for my trouble? a nice big welt where she scratched me as I tried to get her out of the carrier. Disinfected as soon as I got home of course, I've no wish to get sick from cat scratch fever!.
Lovely!
ReplyDeleteYay, not before time, it' frickin' freezing here this morning.
ReplyDeletePlease tell me you nicked it, I'd hate to be the only person who steals over the fence flowers.
ReplyDeleteThat's beautiful, River.
ReplyDeleteMaybe you could sell it to a greeting card company and see your handiwork featured on the 'With Deepest Sympathy' cards!

Kath; That's a nice idea; how do I do something like that?
ReplyDeleteKath, that's not a bad idea. How would I go about doing that? Any ideas? For instance would I approach a company directly? Email?
