- Waking up. Both literally and figuratively.
- I bought this bush at the end of the season because it was on sale. I had no idea that it would bloom daisies. Daisies in October! In upstate New York! While everything else in my yard is brown and dying. It is making me smile, enormously.
- Going to New York City to see this.
James Earl Jones is 84. Cicely Tyson is 81.
Together they were both powerful and charming and awesome.
- And very thankful that my mom gave me a huge love of live theater and that I still live close enough to NYC to take advantage of it’s incredible cultural offerings.
- Breast cancer awareness month. I am grateful for any effort that might help women get screened because I know that early detection saved my life. (Please keep up on your screenings) Still, I’m not sure how I feel about this:
Pink can be taken too far, it appears.
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love the daises. Especially, surprise daises.
And live theater, heck yeah!
That is too far, isn't it?
DeleteI love the daisies, and they make wonderful cut flowers so I have vases of them inside!
Strange pot-o-potties! How pretty to have those daisys blooming! Thank you for always supporting my blog. I would like to follow yours, but see you don't have one of those friends lists. I tried adding the html link to my blog list, but for some reason blogger isn't working right and it's not taking. Would you consider adding one of those friends lists so people could easily follow you?
ReplyDeleteIf you tell me how to add this, I would be happy to.
DeleteIf I'm not mistaken, I think those might be Long Island Daisies (that's what I call them, but it seems they're actually named Montauk Daisies...http://flowerdoctor.net/?p=548...close enough, I guess!) I used to have them in my yard where my ex still lives and they were such a great thing to have in the fall; definitely they made me smile to walk past them!
ReplyDeleteOh and also, I've very much missed your Full of Grace posts, thanks for coming back to do them!
DeleteYes, you are right - Montauk! That's why I bought it, because it reminded me of home. But the daisies were still a surprise. I am very interested in what's going to happen to the foliage come winter.
DeleteAnd thank you. These posts do help me keep the black dogs away.
Just wanted to tell you that I managed to get your blog on my list of blogs I'm following. :)
ReplyDeleteThe flowers are so pretty! We always buy end of season stuff and plant it and are amazed the next year when it comes up all lively and pretty!
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome play to see with both of those actors.
Port-o-potties scare me anyway...
Love the daisies! What a pleasure to have them in the fall.
ReplyDeleteThe daisies are wonderful. My mom's favourite flowers.
ReplyDeleteMaybe the fees go to Susan G? For the Porta-Jills. (Harkening back to Women's Music Festivals, although I went to very few of them.)

I have white daisies too, inthe corner of the yard.I was surprised.
ReplyDeleteI envy your trip to NYC and oh that play and those actors. I love the theatre too.
My 50th high school reunion this weekend, 8. I wish I were 35 pounds lighter (okay, maybe 40) but I'm excited for it

My sister (a breast cancer survivor as well) and I often talk about what we call "the pink thing." We admit to being very thankful for Susan Komen and anyone else who goes the extra mile to cure breast cancer...but we also cringe at the pinkness of it. A club that we were forced to join that we had no intention of ever belonging to and the fact that we would give anything to NOT be a part of.....
