A brilliantly-colored dark pink and purple fuchsia blossom You would think that by the time a person reaches my age, she would not be surprised by the passing of time, yet I find myself nearly constantly amazed that a certain amount of time has passed--whether that be a week, month, year, or couple of decades. Earlier this year, I planted a garden. Yesterday I harvested my first strawberry. Earlier this year, I also planted fuchsia starts, and now the flowers are blooming. How is that possible? (And why am I surprised?) Sometime around the turn of the century (and it still seems strange to use that phrase about the year 2000), we bought a circa 1935 dresser. It needed some TLC, but had a cool curvy front. This past week, I finally got around to applying some Restor-A-Finish and Feed-N-Wax, and now the dresser still looks old, but not dilapidated. I still need to apply some hide glue to some loose pieces, but I'm counting progress as a win. For as long as I can remember, I've be
Lovely!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteAwwww! As Winnie-the-Pooh noted, weeds are flowers, too, once you get to know them.
ReplyDeleteI love Winnie the Pooh!
Deletetotally agree, even though it's a little wordier, 'Plants-that-do-not-conform-to-my standards-for-attractive-lawns,-aforementioned-standards-possibly-imposed-on-my sensibilities-more-than-I-realize,-besides-theys-god's-creatures-too.'
ReplyDeletelol thought-provoking Six, when you stop and think about it!
Out of the mouths of babes.
DeleteAnd attention they received! Leave it to children to remind us of the simple joys in life and to question whose interpretation of beauty is "right".
ReplyDeleteGlad you linked up this week, Kristi!
Thanks! It's good to join in again. When the prompt prompts an idea, I like to go with it! :-)
DeleteThat was wonderful. I love to see the dandelions, daisies and buttercups growing wild at the roadside (as do many insects love them too, I imagine)... then the local council come along and trim everything with super loud blades, ruining it all :( Bravo for the six! :)
ReplyDeleteThere is so much beauty in nature!
DeleteWhere I live, dandelions are NOT considered as weeds. :-)
ReplyDeleteI didn't know that! There is so much we can learn from each other.
DeleteAw! Is this a true story? So sweet! I love to listen to children. The things they say are amazing.
ReplyDeleteIt is based on a true story. My children and life experiences are often the inspiration for my Six Sentence Stories.
DeleteDandelions are dandy and nature's candy! Sweet six!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteHey, they add a little color. That's my story and I'm stickin' too it! Good one.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteAnd I am sure when she said that your day seemed a little lighter! 🤗
ReplyDeleteShe always makes me smile!
DeleteI truly think the term "weeds" is subjective. I'm OK with dandelions. :)
