Inside looking out

Hi Friends ~ It has been a gloomy day here at Plum Cottage, some sprinkling going on. I was going to work outside but with the weather the way it was, I decided to stay in.  Photo below taken this morning from 'inside looking out'. Lamp reflections in the windows. Sweet yellow dancing lady orchids blooming outside.

 I gave my 'weeping lady' statue a blast with my 'little big shot' nozzle and she looks so much better.

 Below is a look into front patio from the driveway.

 

 Friday I tackled the overgrown garlic vine that was taking over everything in its' path. That was quite the job as there are tendrils that wrap tightly around whatever they can grab hold of. It had covered the crepe myrtle, and just kept going and going and going like the pink bunny. Enough was enough.

 

Sat. morning my friend Mary texted that she was going to the grocery store and did I need anything. I texted back yes and that I'd make her a list.  That is so hard to do, when you aren't planning and not going yourself. But, we did it and I paid her when she delivered with a smile, and big wide stay apart air hugs. I've not been to the grocery in 5 weeks, so I don't know what it looks like out there except via photos online. They had chicken thighs so she got me a pkg. We had to go with what was available, but I was pleased with what she got. She even gave me two rolls of toilet paper from her pkg. One pkg to a customer and I do have 4 rolls, now 6. The only things that she couldn't get was mint jelly. I am making some sort of lamb dish, probably meatballs, to be served over mashed potatoes, tender asparagus, and a glass of merlot to toast Jesus with. I had been wondering about getting wine, because I was out of red, and then she called, my prayer/problem was answered/solved.

 Unknown, maybe Mr. Lincoln. Smells wonderful.

 

  Below are sweetheart roses.

Guess that's it for now. I did get a little discouraged yesterday reading someone's blog post filled with negativity about the goings on with the virus, the government and the state of the world. I prayed, re-read Psalms 62:1-8 and Psalms 91:1-7 and felt better. We do what we can to stay safe but we don't need to fill our minds with all of the negative energy that is floating around.

Here's a very encouraging song I came across the other day.



 
And another one found this morning.




Also below is a nice video from the New York Botanical Gardens orchid exhibit.




That's it from here, I'm getting hungry so need to think about fixing some supper.



God bless and keep you all ~ FlowerLady
