Linking up to Nancy at a Rural Journal for Random Five Friday.
1. I finally found my camera cord and so now I have pictures to post. Check it out...I have flowers
2. Every day at 6pm I go to watch my son's football practice. I never used to enjoy it this, but this year he has great coaches who are really pushing these boys to learn the skills needed to win. It is a blast to watch him push himself beyond the limits of what he ever thought he could do.
3. Every morning I take at least 5 min on my front porch to sit and drink my coffee and do my own form of meditation. I give thanks for what I have, and just take the world in around me. It is my favorite part of the day.
4. As I type this, TC has the local news on. He tends to do this every morning. I hate watching the news, it is so depressing. In fact I am not even enjoying having cable TV again. I was quite enjoying not having any TV at all. There for I chose not to watch much.
5. Yesterday I was very happy for the hot temps we have here. TC and I left one of the gates to the dog yard open. Then a little later let all the dogs out to potty. I happened to step out front a little bit later to find 3 out of 4 dogs at the front gate (which was shut) begging to come inside where it was cool. Mason, of course, was not one of those 3. I saw him over in the empty horse pen trying to jump up to get the fly trap bag I had just hung up this morning. By time I got the other 3 put away and headed after him he was headed down the road. I tired whistling and calling to him, although I know he can't hear me so I'm not sure why I tried that. It was funny to watch him though because I could tell that he was totally questioning in his own mind whether or not he wanted to continue on his jaunt in the heat. I finally got his attention by waving my arms around in the air. As soon as he saw me, he came running. "OH mom, thank you for saving me, it is too hot to go exploring today!" Usually he runs the other way. I was glad he didn't this time because I really didn't feel like chasing him.
Good random five. Pretty flowers!
ReplyDeletePretty flowers! I love #3 of your randoms. That sounds like a wonderful ritual. I need to set aside time to do that too instead of rushing around in the morning.
ReplyDeleteI agree with that porch sitting - it is the best part of the day!

Beautiful flowers!
ReplyDeleteI saw that orange flower plant at H.E.B the other day and I want one so bad. So pretty!
ReplyDeleteI don't watch tv either. I hate watching the news....makes me distrustful of everyone and makes me think there is no good left in the world...which I know there is because of my blog! :)
beautiful flowers...i especially love the little pink ones! we have football practice at 6 too....i always love watching and it gives me the chance to visit with my mom friends!
ReplyDeleteWell hello Cindy! Been missing you, and so many others in Blogland...I've been missing for a couple of months. Busy, busy, busy - I really have no excuse. *shrugging* Just wanted to drop by and say hi and see what you've been up to since your big move. Hope you're loving it, heard that you're unemployed now (totally jealous) and are happy. Thanks for checking up on me a while back. Our summer is good and hope yours is too!! Take care! Love your pretty flowers!! Lorie
ReplyDeleteLorie!!!!
DeleteI understand being busy, but I am sooo glad you stopped in to say hello so we all know that you are ok.
You have some beautiful flowers so I am glad you found your cord so that you could show them to us.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy that unemployed status while you can! If I could only find some other way to pay the bills, I'd love to be unemployed:)
ReplyDeleteIf it weren't for the bills, I would happily stay this way!
DeleteSilly Mason! And I'm so happy you are able to post your photos again. xo
ReplyDeleteLantana is a favorite of mine. I don't have much use for tv and summer reruns. Hubby is always tuned to news or weather. I'd rather blog and socialize on the internet.
