I love going down to the ocean for a swim and a walk in the evening when the sun is not as hot, and crowds have dispersed. Someone got caught up in their wild imagination today. Full moon high tide is probably going to wash the slate clean for tomorrow.

I’ve always hated list. Loose them, forget them, don’t know what to put in them. Recently I’ve discovered that when I feel paralyzed because I have too much to do and can’t figure out how to start or stay on track, a to-do list can be a savior.

Today’s storm has me feeling I need to write an obituary for my 23 yo son. Still alive, but doesn’t want to be. Part of me knows the will to live needs to come from him. My efforts are bandaids in the form of love and hope. Reluctant acceptance that I may outlive him. That sucks.

I took a look through my followers to see if I’ve missed following back someone that interacts with me. Holy cow😱. So many bots, fakes, and people that obviously didn’t read my bio. Anyway, if I missed you, let me know because it’s overwhelming sorting through it.

My favorite Sunflower variety. I love the colors.

Starting the day with a fresh picking of flowers for the kitchen table. Crazy to think my wedding day was 25 years ago today and I’ve been widowed for nine.

I love this morning view☺️

Grief hits when you least expect. Looking at “use by” dates while shopping & I notice 8/5. Not buying that! Woah 😳 that’s my wedding anniversary. Spent the next 30 minutes of shopping, holding back tears. Reflections of beautiful days gone by, brought on by lettuce🤷‍♂️.#Grief

The Strawflower has bloomed☺️

Welcome to my brain. Months of noticing how dirty the inside of the dishwasher was, 6:15 this evening, suddenly, it caught my attention & I decided “now” was the time to clean it😱. Every tiny little spindle!! . No idea where the urge came from. It’s clean! Another 9:30 dinner🫣

Trying out a different Zinnia variety this year. Jazzy mix. Not as good as a cut flower, but I love the compact and bushy nature with tons of multi colored blooms.

Sometimes when I go to the gym at prime time after work, I get super frustrated at the crowd and think I should find a new gym. Then I realize, a gym that isn’t busy at prime time, probably isn’t one I want to be at!. …adjusting schedule accordingly. 🤷‍♂️.

Who can guess what this is? Not sure what you get if you guess right🤷‍♂️. Maybe I’ll send you some😂

I guess this is “old wood Wednesday” 😏

Thinking that you’re old. Don’t do it!.

And then the three hours just vanish and never got to that thing I meant to do!😱.

Give it a try🤣

I feel like if I gaze into the light beaming through this morning glory, I’ll be whisked off to some magical land😏

I don’t think I’ve ever grown Cornflower this color😌

Took me a long time to realize my introverted qualities were superpowers & not character defects! . I was made to feel like there was something wrong with me. constantly being told I was “so quiet” and felt pressure to be more extroverted. Don’t do that to introverts!!.
