Free Saturday, (For Cee) For FOTD Dec 21, 2024

Free Saturday

Today’s the day I get to do
exactly what I want to do.
To prowl my yard both up and down
clad only in my sleeping gown.
(The air so brisk, I guess I better
also choose to wear a sweater.)
Drink my morning coffee cold,
do not one thing that I’ve been told
to do. Make not one new appointment,
no sunscreen worn or other ointment.
Merely hang out in the shade,
leave home with no arrangements made.
Perhaps I’ll shop the Christmas fair
or simply walk to get some air.
Run into friends and have some lunch
or simply choose to skip the bunch
and have a sandwich on my own,
to drift wherever I am blown
like the dandelion I tore
out of my planter. Like its spore
I’ll fly off free to create more
adventures than I’d counted on
until my day is finally done.
Unplanned, unplotted and unlisted.
My former behavior resisted.
But first, there is this prompt to do.
I simply have to take a few
photos of new flowers for Cee,
(Well, some for her and some for me.)
An hour ago, I had not any,
but now it seems I have too many.
But, unable to make the call,
I guess I’ll have to post them all!

( I really did take all these photos this morning..yes, in my nightgown. If you look closely, you can see that my plants, too, grow where they want to.  Can you find them growing out of nose, eye and ear? Click on photos to enlarge and see detail.)

I hope you have a wonderful Christmas, Cee!!!!

Baby Sun Rose, Jade Plant and Fountain, For FOTD Dec 20, 2024

There is a little floating disk in my pool that is a solar-powered fountain.  Here it is floating in front of the bank of succulents beside my pool. I was in the pool, taking the photo.

Three Sisters for FOTD, Dec 15, 2024

The youngest of three sisters, I know that even from the same family, we all bloom in a different manner, but are unified by proximity and genes.

Black and White For Monochrome Madness, Dec 14, 2024

So fun to see how photos will turn out in black and white! Don’t know if that qualifies as monotone, but Brian did it, so I get to, too.

Brian (Bushboy) is the host for Monochrome Madness this week.
