The following photos are my own, which I took with my cellphone on my walks here in Montreal. These photos are the remainder of the photos from my last post, taken outside of a funeral home. I don't know what the flowers are, I just found them so pretty. You can click on any image to see a larger view.
As in my last post, I took a guess that these yellow flowers are Petunias. Please feel free to correct me if I am wrong.

ReplyDeleteDear Linda, the flowers are so colourful, violet, yellow and pink 🩷
ReplyDeleteHave a good day 🌞
Thanks for your comment about the posting time of my latest blog post. I've also been having trouble with the blogger reader. My post before this one didn't ever appear in the blogger reader and hardly had any pageviews.
ReplyDeleteYou're right about the petunias! I especially like the quote about putting our names on the title pages of our lives. We do have agency in how we choose to live.
ReplyDeleteLinda, your flowers are beautiful and your quotes are so inspirational as always. I feel so good after a visit to your blog..
ReplyDeleteYou always know how to bring a smile to my day, Linda. Aaw Puff the Magic Dragon- now that brings back a lot of fond memories. Have a great day. Hugs.
ReplyDeletePleasant quotes, wise quotes . . . It's all good ☘️ and enjoyable to read.
ReplyDeleteEverything is easier on my new computer. The page scrolls fluently.
"How deep is the mud?" Hah hah poor little mutts 🧡
Green Acres 💚 😊
Big pigs 💚 😊
This one is my favourite for today :"Your life is not a group project. Live it like your name is on the cover." and your flowers are gorgeous I also had to laught at the video of the police dancing test lol
ReplyDeleteI love the Bill Murray quote ;-)
ReplyDeleteEarning the trust and love of a NON-feral cat isn't always that easy.
ReplyDeleteAwesome life quotes! Thank you, Linda.
ReplyDeleteYour flowers are beautiful—and I think you're spot on with the name, too!
ReplyDeleteYou have such valuable words of wisdom for us, not to mention those great videos!
Many thanks, and have a wonderful few days.. hugs Elke
I love cats. 🥰
ReplyDeleteGood morning Linda, I think life is like a sport, and we all struggle to reach the finish. I had a good laugh about Bill Murray. Such a funny joke and completely true. Beautiful photos! The flower is called a Geranium, so full of color. I have them in my garden too. Hope you’re having a great time. :)
ReplyDeleteThe cat painting from Lucie Bilodeau is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteIn fact, fear kills more dreams that failure ever can!
Oh, I loved Green Acres :D
Have a nice weekend!
The pink ones in the first photo are your usual geraniums, deary, I am surprised you don't have them in your window, here we all have them in all colours on our balconies and window sills.
ReplyDeleteBill Murray nails it, dear friend Linda! I like the clever car-reference, too. And the mud! Beautiful flowers.
ReplyDeleteCute dog-dolphin-play. And the pig!
Warm hugs (we might get 40C) and much love on the way.
Lovely post Linds, nice to see the happy pig greeting the recycleman. Puff the Magic Dragon was a favourite song in my youth.
ReplyDeleteOops Linda not Linds :-)
ReplyDeleteHello Linda,
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy the quotes and the cute kitties.
The flowers are looking beautiful. Wishing you peace and joy today!
I love the Bill Murray quote too, Linda. Lovely petunias!
ReplyDeleteThank you! Deus caritas est!
ReplyDeleteI always love the pictures you share with us. Such colorful, happy flowers!
ReplyDeleteI like the quote about the feral cats because it reminds me of the second feral cat my sister took in. Very cautious and hissy for years and then, from one second to the other, he decided to sit in her lap in the garden and move in.
