A couple of days ago I was predicting that the last full foliage of beautiful white blooms was getting ready to cease …due to the curvature of the weight of the blooms overpowering its stem. ( even after being tied to a stake. )
First thing yesterday morning I was scared to peep … expecting the bulb to be completely pulled out of the four bloom ” spectacular” only to discover the blooms were still holding… not planning on going anywhere until the final ” baby” bud opened to complete the dazzling spectacle!
Waiting on the last and fifth ” miraculous ” bud ( that appeared over night) to bloom and then they will all go together. ) Never say Never!
Besides… Mandy and Eva Cate arrived yesterday to put up stick/on wallpaper on the kitchen cabinets and the bathroom ( which Eva Cate took on by herself!) Look how much fun and color it has already brought … We ran out of wallpaper and will finish in a couple of days when the next $ 8.00 wallpaper order comes in! Cost-effective and eye-drawing to make the kitchen and bathroom cozier … and pop!
Mandy worked on the kitchen cabinets and is returning to finish the two long top cabinets but isn’t it cozier? Of course even stick on wallpaper has you praying for patience… cutting a piece that is off by a ” millimeter of a tinier millimeter ” while one, synonymously, is trying to pull each crease or wrinkle out in the process! Let’s just all commiserate together… wallpaper drives you batty and brings back to mind every word you haven’t used since high school! … (Well…. not much!)Eva Cate was right on it in the bathroom. Now I am just not another white cabinet apartment but a happy happy place… unique and different!
When I saw this long-sleeved t-shirt I knew I had to be the owner of it… the only person who is rarely warm (whatever the season) …especially now!!!
Yes I’m Cold … ME 24:7
So until tomorrow…
And now that I have moved my indoor plant a little more over to the right …I have three angels watching over me while on my loveseat … a comforting feeling!
I still miss my friends and neighbors on 100 Rainbow 🌈 Road… and will never have such a beautiful address again… still life is beautiful here…and my new ” home” is exactly where I need to be. God knows and I know…
I was born a Tarheel but ended up a Sandlapper. My grandparents
were cotton farmers in Laurens, South Carolina and it was in my
grandmother’s house that my love of storytelling began beside an old
Franklin stove. When I graduated from Laurens High School, I attended
Erskine College (Due West of what?) and would later get my Masters
Degree in Education/Social Studies from Charleston Southern. I am
presently an adjunct professor/clinical supervisor at CSU and have also
taught at the College of Charleston.
For 28 years I taught Social Studies through storytelling. My philosophy
matched Rudyard Kipling’s quote: “If history were taught in the form of
stories, it would never be forgotten.” Today I still spread this message
through workshops and presentations throughout the state. The secret
of success in teaching social studies is always in the story.
I want to keep learning and being surprised by life…it is the greatest
teacher. Like Kermit said, “When you’re green you grow, when you’re
ripe you rot.”
