Happy Tuesday!
The sun is shining today, woo hoo.
I was up early for a change 7:30am to be exact.
{ this summer schedule is kicking my butt, with it's late nights and late mornings }.
I have {most} of todays to do's done, and I'm getting ready to share with you what I did yesterday,
TO BEAT THE BLAHS:
first I clean the kitchen { this makes me feel good about myself }
secondly I tackle the keeping room desk { another accomplishment }
in between I take out the dogs { a constant chore with three pooches }
But wait...
While I'm outside I see this...
my lovely homestead verbena are back in bloom, { this makes me very happy }
then I see this...
a perfectly beautiful butterfly
so I run back inside grab my camera and the chase is on.
How perfect is this handsome fellow { or gal } ?
then there was this lovely pale lady,
and this cute and fuzzy guy....
and finally this busy, busy boy.
I'm snapping away by now, and I can't stop...
so then there's this...
my monkey grass { liriope } is in bloom as well, I just adore it's beautiful lavender spires.
it's so lovely in front of my { natchez } crepe myrtle trunks.
More snaps, from around the house.... my birdhouses on my front porch,
and a not so happy to be disturbed sleeping kitty....there she is....
and there she's not.
So there you have it, a little cleaning,
and some camera therapy,
that's what it takes to get me over
THE BLAHS!
I have more to share from my Monday adventures in the days to come.
Right now though, it's back to laundry duty... bah.
GORGEOUS pictures ! Thank you for sharing them !!!!

Love your photos Carrie! Those butterfly ones are just beautiful! I too feel like a good photo shoot helps to make the blahs go away. Have missed visiting with you in the last month and hoping to be back on a little more once school starts...and I too am back on schedule! lol :)

Hi Carrie!
ReplyDeleteLoved all of your photo therapy, much needed to help me get through the week. I got up early today too... late nights always seem to keep me from getting up, but thankfully I was up before eight and had the dog walked and me showered before nine. I love early mornings, just always struggle with getting out of my cozy bed... it seems softer in the morning.... :)
I get to finish laundry tomorrow before work... that is... if I don't sleep in! ;)
xoxo,
Bonnie
I think that's what I need to do today!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous pictures!
Good for you!! Putting your Nigel to work and getting some small tasks done seems to have done the trick. Your photos are gorgeous. I love the yellow swallowtails (males are yellow, by the way; females are blue) and the purple verbena make for a striking image.
ReplyDeleteTake care, dear girl!
