As I was leafing through the files, I found a set of photos that I took in September. This pink rose is the lovely Sarah Van Fleet. I remember seeing how the pink roses looked against the blue sky and the red barn, and I tried to capture what I saw.
As much as I would love to spend this rainy day sitting here with my down throw and my cats, playing with photos and writing, I can't. There is too much to do ... and none of it is anything I WANT to do.
(focusing on the barn)
I will be out of here in less than an hour, on my way to a Dr. appointment. Since I'm on the far side of 50 now, it's time for me to be a grown up and take control of my health. I have always been ridiculously healthy, so it's been easy to ignore the supposed-need for regular medical check-ups. It's something I know I HAVE to do, but I still hate it.
(focusing on the flowers)
After I get home, I will put on my grubby clothes and set to work on a long-standing, nagging house project. This is a project that has been going on longer than any other around here, and I really want to have it finished in the next couple of weeks. Yesterday, I touched up the last little bit of irregularities in the drywall work and I painted the ceiling. Today's planned accomplishments? If I can get the walls painted and the floor figured out, it will be a good day. Wish me luck.
What I REALLY want to do today is unpack my Christmas decorations! If I'm a good girl and get my work done, maybe I'll have time to do just a little bit.
I do wish you luck. Sounds like you did a lot of work yesterday.
ReplyDeleteIt's back to the mantel painting project for me. I could use a sunny morning to make the painting easier, but will just use the big painter's lights today.
I could smell those roses - beautiful photos! Good luck with your projects and Dr. appointment. I hate having to go off and do things like that when I want to do other things! I'm in the process of decorating for Christmas, and it's snowing here - it's a pretty sweet scene!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous pictures, and yes you do have to go visit the doctor once every decade at least!! I hope you get everything done on your to do list so that I can live vicariously through you with your Christmas decorations. Mine will remain in tubs for at least a few more days...maybe!

Good luck my sweets! I adore looking at all your beautiful roses & scenery...:)
ReplyDeleteSarah Van Fleet is gorgeous! Wonderful pictures.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about going to the Dr. I am also on the other side of 50 and know I should see the dr. too. I hate the thought. I have been blessed with good health in life so I just (stupidly) keep putting it off!
I hope you got your other to-do things done so you could start playing with your Christmas decorations. I haven't started. Oh, yes I have...I bought a wreath today...does that count!?!
