Lupines fill the fields, grass and trees are already the rich green color of summer, and the wind blows incessantly. Winter blankets still grace my bed, to be thrown off after an 80 degree day and pulled back over us in the middle of the night. June has been wet and cold, yet dusty fields cry for rain due to the hefty breezes.
The past couple of weeks my days have been filled to the brim with office work, trips to doctor appointments with mom, and journeying downstate every weekend for one thing and another ( i will highlight these soon).
I haven't even had time to get all my flowers in. The Amish are working on our foundation so we are in a mess. What garden I did plant is struggling.
Yet I am celebrating today. I stopped the car and got out to snap a few photos of the lupines. They are so beautiful right now. This afternoon I returned to my long neglected book and wrote four whole pages. Hey, every little bit helps!
I have so many things I want to write and share with you here, but never seem to get to it. Supper preparation beckons me now, but I have decided to use the little snippets of time I have, to do the things I enjoy. This post may not be polished but nevertheless, I am showing up. :)
Take those fifteen minute breaks you have and do something you love this week. Show up in the moment.
Hopefully I will be back soon.
I'm glad you used that snippet to write this, Paula. I'm right there with you when it comes to capitalizing on found minutes of freedom. I've accomplished a lot via baby steps. Your shot of the lupines is lovely. Most of the ones blooming down here have started to fade.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading your post, Paula. Rain would be nice here also. Celebrate today - a good reminder!
