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!!!!

Floral Alphabet Challenge and FOTD, The Letter “D” Sept. 18, 2022

It always astonishes me how beautiful dandelions can be when viewed close up. Here is one, along with a handful of the common daisy. Laid-back “D’s.”

(Should handmade flowers count? You decide.)

First Dandelion: FOTD July 17, 2020

 

For Cee’s FOTD

I don’t see many dandelions in Mexico, but this one presented itself right beside my studio door. So easy to overlook, but so pretty close up. It obviously isn’t the first one to bloom, as is evidenced by the dandelion seed fuzz caught up behind it, but it is the first one I’ve noticed this year.

I spotted this little dandelion that found its place between the cobblestones at Pompeii.

Dandelion: FOTD Oct 28, 2018

The last single dandelion in the yard. Brave little perky soul.
