Yes, I plant lots of petunias every summer. They are so beautiful. They thrive, grow and spread. I buy many different colors and where I live in West Virginia the Lowes has the most healthy plants. I buy them by the six pack and they are very inexpensive. They are in my front yard, around my trees, and in the flower boxes on my back deck.
Do try petunias if they work in your climate zone. Do it just because it’s SUMMERTIME!
I have said it before and I will say it again: Every fitness expert I have ever read says that the best, cheapest and most beneficial exercise is walking! DO IT!
As your nice thing to do for the day today, why not loan someone you like a book that you have enjoyed. Wow, what a neat thing to do, right?
PS-You do try to do at least one nice thing per day, don’t you???
I love that beauty can come in any form. Flowers are lovely always. Winnie the Pooh is sweet and soft and warm. Scenery is calm and peaceful.
My favorite thing of beauty is often just the right spoken word to make one feel at peace with everything. Pooh Bear has a gift for that. For example:
“You are braver than you know.”
I think this gives one the power to face situations with courage. Sometimes we do not know how brave we actually are until something happens, do we?
Pooh has so many quotes that I absolutely love. I will continue to share them as our summer goes on. BTW one of the things that I really love is SUMMER!
Pretty soon, dear friends, it will be time for JELL-O with cottage cheese, green JELL-O, and all sorts of other yummy outdoor desserts. I love lemon aid with frozen strawberries used as ice cubes. I also really love any frozen dessert, and don’t forget sweet tea you guys from the South. Sweet tea rules in the summer right along with white bread tomato sandwiches! What are some of YOUR summer favorites?
In general, I am a beach, summer person, but isn’t this beautiful. I would rather be seeing it out the window of a warm room with a roaring fireplace, but I also used to be quite a good skier, so I can appreciate and even embrace the beauty of a snowy day.
There is so much beauty in our world. Some days it may seem difficult to find, but do search until you find something that brings a smile to your face or a little joy to your heart.
I love to just put things together differently. I move settings around in my house. I buy grocery store flowers or silk plants and mix, match, and don’t match. Have a good look at your stuff and then create something unique!
I know that it is expensive to send flowers, so how about just a grocery store bouquet once in a while to say “I Love You?” That sure does it for me.
Another beautiful thing to do for someone? Why not take a minute and send a card? I really enjoy something in the mail besides an advertisement or a bill, don’t you? Well, if you like it, maybe someone else would too. I often think of things that way. Anyway, my church friend Patty is the queen of sending really thoughtful cards, and she has got me doing it too. Maybe if YOU do it too, we will catch on.
