I’ve noticed that this African violet was looking very sad…
a few days ago, I picked it up to check it out and discovered it was sitting in 2 inches of water… poor thing was drowning, sigh…
it has already started to perk up;-)…

tgif… always seems strange to me how long four day weeks after a holiday are… you’d think the week would fly by, but no…
was very excited to see these adorable African violet flowers which I discovered at my desk this afternoon…
the plant was turned so I hadn’t noticed the flowers until I moved it… makes me happy…
since yesterday I’ve been thinking of the grilled cheese and onion sandwich that I was going to have for my dinner from the last of the sourdough rye bread I picked up at the bakery…
it was delicious…

African Violet, big girl pants, blooming, celebrate every moment, hibiscus, morning glories, open for a day, poppies
today the African Violet blooms were open…
African Violet blooming…
talked with a friend about how flowers can open so quickly…
thought about the morning glories and how they are all closed up in the morning and then by mid day are all open… hibiscus open in a similar fashion… and they are usually only open for one day…
you have to be paying attention or you can miss the whole thing…
my absolute favourite to watch though are poppies… if you sit quietly and watch you can actually see them open and the cover pop off…
always a wonder to spend the few minutes it takes for them to open…
makes me think about life and how we need to enjoy and celebrate every moment as we don’t know what is in store for us, or for others…
just spent an hour searching for four pictures of George to use for a project… was bittersweet… I miss him so much…
remember to tell the important people in your life that you love them… never know if you will have another opportunity to do that…

feeling so much better… amazing how a headache can debilitate a person…
this morning I got this great shot of one of my African Violets at the office… the buds are just about open… I love this one because it is kind of lacy looking with white flowers edged in purple…
buds on violet…
the Christmas cactus continues to bloom, but it still looks a little off…
