I can't figure out why Monday seems to come so fast. I'm pretty sure time is speeding up the older I get, because the days past in a blink of an eye. Even though I had to drag myself out of bed this morning, I felt good by the time I made it to work. Gratefully it was a good Monday. I was feeling rather refreshed after my weekend off. The sunflowers on the front porch at work caught my attention and cheered my soul.
There is something so cheery about sunflowers. A fairly tough plant.... they grow in dry dirt along side walks and roads and in fields. Always gorgeous and continually sharing their beauty. There is a lesson to be learned from sunflowers - you can always share your beauty even when life around you doesn't seem so bright.
Before I knew it I was headed home. I'm remembering how much I love working 8-4 in the summer. Coming home I feel like I still have an evening. Before Mitch made it home, I drug out the hose from the back yard to give the front yard a deep drink. While soaking my beds I got some deadheading done. Puttering in the yard is therapeutic. I even managed to get a couple more things planted from my ever growing collection of plants on my patio. Mitch mowed the front yard and then we headed out to grab smoothies for dinner. Summer decided to arrive early this year.... welcome 100 degree weather {not really}, I'm more of an 80 degree kind of gal. We've decided that since I work at a garden center I'm more acclimatized to the heat than Mitch. Lucky for Mitch he works in a nice air conditioned building.
Now for a lovely evening of relaxing.
