These vases of flowers were in the refrigerated case at the store.

There are red roses in one vase, and pink roses plus lilac colored chrysanthemums in the other vase.

A small sign advertises ‘Did You Know we do Weddings?’.

Bird of the Week – White Dove

Bird of the Week – White Dove

Yellow-wattled Lapwing + Bird of the Week Invitation XV

This pretty white dove flew into our garage one day a few years ago. He perched up on a metal rail, and was there for quite awhile. We finally shooed him out so we could close the garage door.

Flower of the Day – All Mixed Up

I guess they couldn’t decide which one, so they put a mixed bunch of flowers together. There’s a big yellow rose, some rust colored mums, a pink carnation, and some blue spikey looking ones.

• Do you like to sunbathe on the beach or by a pool?

I don’t like or do either of these things any more. We never lived close to a beach, but I’d go with family or friends to the pool when I was a kid. We’d try to get a tan, but it never worked for me – I just got sunburn and more freckles.

•  Have you ever used a fake tan or a sun bed?

I tried the fake tan lotion once when I was a teen, I guess. It was awful and turned me orange.

•  Have you joined or wanted to join a gym?

Never never ever!

•  Good health permitting, would you prefer to go hiking or take a walk in the woods?

I don’t walk much or go anywhere now. I went for a walk in the woods one time, the only time I was in a woods, and I got poison ivy.  We don’t have woods or even many trees here. I still wouldn’t go out there, though.

One Word Sunday – Light

One Word Sunday – Light

Light

***

I took this photo on January 27, 2020 at  11:35 a. m. with my camera pointed straight up at the sun. It was so bright and dazzling, I didn’t know if the picture even turned out, but this is what I got. The white hot sunlight throwing rays of light through the bare branches of our tree, all against the clear blue sky.

***

***

Here’s a song about light that I like with the words in the video, the music, and especially the lyrics, as they are very uplifting and hopeful.

“The Light”, by Disturbed

“… sometimes darkness can show you the light …”

Sorrowful Lament

Today for SLS we are to find blues songs.

I really like blues songs, so it was hard to choose just one, and I spent a lot of time just listening to a bunch.

But, I picked this one. I’d heard of this artist before, but remembered again when I listened to this song. He has a lot of really good ones, so check it out and you’ll see.

Clouds, one by one, fill the sky
Just like these tears that fill my eyes
I know by now she ain’t comin’ back
I watch my world slowly fade into black

Look out my window it’s still rainin’
Look out my window it’s still rainin’

They say that time heals everything
I’ve felt the pain that love can bring
It don’t get no better with each passing day
Any hope I had is slowly slipping away

Look out my window, it’s still rainin’
Look out my window, it’s still rainin’

I thought the morning would rescue me
But the rain keeps falling endlessly, endlessly
Sometimes I wonder what’ll become of me
There ain’t much left of what I used to be
Her love shone on me like the morning light
Now here I am alone again tonight

Look out my window, it’s still rainin’

Bird Flies Over the Sunrise Rainbow

Bird Flies Over the Sunrise Rainbow

Weekend Sky #103 – June 3rd

***

I took these photos from my back yard on August 24, 2016. It was right at sunrise starting photo at 7:13 a.m. looking toward the east. As I turned toward the west, this beautiful rainbow was there. Those photos were taken at 7:18 a.m. All were taken with my phone camera, and the full arc rainbow was taken with the panoramic setting, as it was huge, and wouldn’t all fit in one photo! Also, in the first photo (with arc) the little black dot you see is a bird flying by. If you can, click the photo to enlarge, to see it! 🙂
