Eye Candy Friday

July 26, 2019 By Carole

When I thought about sharing this photo I thought I would say something about how I don’t want to inundate the blog with flowers. And then I thought . . . wait? really? I don’t?

OF COURSE  I want to inundate the blog with flowers! That’s what summer is all about, kids. So. Another bouquet, this one from a local farm stand but enhanced with some coleus that I had pinched back and some coreopsis from the front garden.

Here’s to a weekend full of flowers! And fun, too.

    Never too many flowers!! My hydrangea bushes got smushed by house painters’ ladders over the past few days, but I’m hoping to at least get a nice bouquet when I trim it all back and neaten up over the weekend.

Today’s @aliedwards Pieces of Us prompt is Face Today’s @aliedwards Pieces of Us prompt is Face Forward. If there’s anything I’ve learned in my 55 years, it’s that facing forward is the best way to live. All the things in life, good or bad, can be resolved this way, our problems only multiple if we try to skirt around them. True satisfaction comes from looking life right in the eye, doing your best, and finding the joy. #aepiecesofus #thisismyface #faceforward

The washing and moisturizing, the attempts to hold the approach of aging at bay. They’ve held and comforted so many loved ones, they’ve changed diapers and checked out books at the library, they’ve typed countless words, they’ve cooked and cleaned and done everything I’ve expected and I appreciate every bump and age spot and ... they are mine. #aepiecesofus #piecesofme #myhandstellmystory
