Great quotes today! Indeed time flies, more than half the year is gone already, it felt so fast. I love the flowers that you snapped outside the condo building, Linda!
So, I had to come look you up as so far your post isn't updating on the feed for me. Sigh... it's been good for awhile! I like the thoughts on kindness and cherishing each moment. So true! I enjoyed the Entertainer - and it's best played on an old piano. I took lessons for years and remember learning to play that one. :)
morning dear linda! i'm doing some work and while using my lappy, i'm dropping by here at your lovely blog, for today, i choose this quote: Moments come and go, but memories last forever...take care dear linda..and pictures of flowers that u capture are always cute and nice!
The quotes you select always seem to speak to me and this week's floral photos are spectacular. Thank you , Linda for sharing .Have a lovely week. Hugs.
Dear Linda, the two flowers photos taken by yourself look exactly like the posters in a calendar. You captured the angle really well. I like photo 1 with the close up of the flower. Online says this flower is a Purple Coneflower, scientifically known as Echinacea purpurea. I don't think I have seen it at my place. Please take good care to stay hydrated in this hot weather 🙏🏻 💕 🌺🌹
Dear Linda, do you have cool air conditioning for this hot summer? Those of us living in hot climate countries, cannot live without cool air conditioning. 🥵
I love the theme of appreciating and cherishing: people, routines, our precious animals. I learned at a young age that no one is permanent and have carried that carpe diem attitude into adulthood.
There is indeed something deeply soothing in doing everyday things without rushing or telling yourself that you should be doing something else. Rushing is never good, no matter what you do. The flowers in your photo help you unwind. They are beautiful.
Great theme again! I agree with this one : To say "I don't have time" is to say "I don't want to." We all have 24 hours every day and choices to make. I have time to visit you, Linda dear 💕
