Thanks to everyone who has checked in on me.
Days are passing by much quicker than I ever thought they could.
It's the end of the school year so lots going on there.
Our oldest is in the midst of graduation practices and the youngest has exams this week.
Even though I get up early, I still feel like every single day just goes by way too fast.
I continue to walk every day which brings me much peace of mind.
And zoning in on those little spots of beauty brings me joy.
Yes, it's been hot. 110 degrees, more or less every day.
But the bluest skies which just seem to make everything better.
It is written on the arched sky; it looks out from every star. It is the poetry of Nature; it is that which uplifts the spirit within us.

Happy mid-week!
Good to hear from you. I'm glad you're finding peace and beauty in each day. Things will settle down. Diane
ReplyDeletegood to hear that all is ok... soemtimes I just dont know where the time has gone in each day and I'm still none the closer to doing the things that I want to do! Love those plants!
ReplyDeleteThis kind of walks are so regenerating!!!!

Happy mid-week to you too, Tammy!
ReplyDeleteAll those pictures remind me India so much! The same flowers too :)
So glad to know all is well and it's "normal" business of life keeping you away. Glad you're still making time for yourself with your daily waks though.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Betsy
Good to know that you are well and congratulations to your son on his graduations! Keep walking and enjoying each detail nature has to offer:)
ReplyDeleteI was wondering where you were! Congrats on your son's graduation. I enjoy seeing the flowers on your walks. ((hugs)), Teresa :-)
ReplyDeleteHi Tammy,
ReplyDeleteI was missing you so good to see you pop by and say hello.
Sometimes life just takes over and the days fly by.
Love those blue skies, such a joy to see.
Sending you hugs and smiles,
Angela.x
oh my i give you so much credit for walking in those temps! congratulations to your son tammy, and to you too! graduations are such exciting times!
ReplyDeleteHi Tammy, yes the days just fly past! good for you walking in temperatures like that, I hope you are keeping out of the sun or wearing a large hat! think of the wrinkles my dear, my poor face is like a road map after all the walking I did in the Syrian sun without protection haha. Congratulations to your eldest son and good luck to your youngest with his exams! :)
ReplyDeleteIt is good that you are able to keep up with your walking schedule in the hot weather too; I just can't do that :) best wishes to your sons!!
ReplyDeleteHi Tammy,
ReplyDeleteLife does always seem to be busy when you have a family.
Great to hear that life is going well and best wishes to your boys.
Glad that you can go walking under the pretty blue sky.
Happy rest of the week
Hugs
Carolyn
Nice to see you here and those brave flowers sharing their colour with you.

It is amazing how quickly a day comes and goes... and still so much to do. Congrats to your graduate! Love that quote... so true. blessings and hugs ~ tanna
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear that you and yours are all well and busy. Busy is good. Time flies, especially the older I get. Never enough hours in the day seems like.
ReplyDeleteYou are hotter than we are. We are in the 90's with high humidity. Just down to 80 at night.
Yes, those little spots of beauty have to be seeked out around here too. But it seems to make my day.
Keep walking and thinking positive, like you always do dear Tammy. Time flies by and before you know it your oldest will be off on new adventures. Treasure your time with him
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Meredith
Great seeing your post, Tammy! Beautiful photos too! Perfect quote.
ReplyDeleteExciting time for your family as your son prepares to graduate :)
Good to hear from you! The pink flowers are beautiful, what are they?
ReplyDeleteDeb
Always so good to read your posts-those red hanging blooms are just gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your post, Tammy. I'm among those who were starting to get concerned about you, wondering (and hoping) all was okay.
ReplyDeleteI can identify with you regarding the days passing quickly. Some of the items on my "to do" list are NOT getting done.
With three part-time jobs, it's challenging but my blog is my daily spurt of pure joy.
Take care and remember to take good care of YOU! Susan
I find my days are whipping past me too. Especially the evenings when I want to do my own crafts and reading and 'blink!' 3 hours gone!! Hot weather sounds pretty good right about now as I'm pretending it's summer in my capris, but still wearing sheepskin lined slippers!! Good luck to your kids finishing up their school year ;) Wendy x
ReplyDeleteTammy, so glad you are happy and well and enjoying your walks! It is good for the soul. Have a wonderful day! Twyla
ReplyDeleteDearest Tammy,
ReplyDeleteWow the oldest already going through graduation... Time goes by way too fast in many ways. But it is also a very positive sign.
At least you do enjoy the little wonders of nature; as long as they are thriving.
Hugs to all of you,
Mariette
Your flower pictures are gorgeous! It is so cold here at my place and raining for days now. So I can´t get enough of your sunny world! I'm walking to school every day too. It is a 25mins walk and I enjoy it a lot, it helps me get focused and simply makes me happy!
ReplyDeleteAll the best for your boys! xxBarbina
These days are flying by... all to soon our graduates will be flying our nests and creating their own lives. Wishing you a wonderful week.
ReplyDeleteHi Tammy - good to 'see' you. You're pretty brave to take walks in 110 degree weather - I don't think that I could do that. :)
ReplyDeleteas always, I love the photos you share with us from your walks. Hope all is well and that things settle down soon...
ReplyDeleteWhew! That's hot! I'm impressed that you're able to walk with weather like that. I imagine it's even warm in mornings and evenings too. The flowers sure are pretty though.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure if you've seen the recent post I did that was inspired by you...I crocheted a lacy cover for a rock. I love yours every time I visit your blog and finally gave it a try. It was so fun that now I'm addicted. I made another one yesterday and I'm working on a third. Thanks for the inspiration! :-)
Busy days! I've been thinking of you and hoping you are well --- and figured that grad and year end things were probably keeping you more than occupied!
ReplyDeleteCongrats to the new grad!
It's nice to hear from you! Glad you checked in even though things are hectic for you right now. I'm glad that even though it's hot, the skies are a lovely blue. I bet that does make it better :)
ReplyDeleteHello! Wow with those temps I'd be whilting fast. But your flowers are gorgeous. You hang in there and I hope life slows down soon. :) Kit
ReplyDeletehappy Mid week to you as well, lovely lovely photos, I hope you will enjoy the end of the school year..
ReplyDeletesweet hugs,
Dagmar
The school year has gone by so fast, but yay for summer!! So glad you have had some pretty blue skies!! Wishing you a wonderful weekend! xo Heather
ReplyDeleteHi Tammy, You're such a good girl, walking every day. This is admirable! Soon you'll have more time again to be creative. Wishing all the best for your son's exams.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Julia
What a peaceful and beautiful post... a little slice of beauty! xx
ReplyDeleteHI Tammy, I love walking mediation and isn't it great to combine it with "the poetry of nature" ! I really enjoyed your post !
ReplyDeleteUm ha ha. Meant to write walking"meditation" although walking mediation may be useful at times too .lol
DeleteI hope once the school year is over, that you can relax a bit. I don't know how you can walk in that heat - whew!
ReplyDeleteGlad that your walking is bringing a sense of contentment. Its always stress relieving when you do something physical and that you enjoy even though its been hot...kudos to you. I am officially on vacation now but only a week to go before I travel and feel like I have a lot to do, even though I really don't. Does that make sense????
ReplyDeleteHi Tammy! Gosh, I feel like I haven't visited forever! I'm so behind on blogging...sounds like you've been busy too with graduation and all...such a fun event! Wow your temps are hot now aren't they? Love the pink flowers against the blue sky. Have a lovely Sunday.
ReplyDeleteWhat gorgeous photos and glad you're able to get out and enjoy it despite the heat and all you have going on.
ReplyDeleteYou go girl!
Hi Tammy, like you I haven't been blogging as much as usual. Funny I should stop by today when you post a quote from John Ruskin. I've been spending time in our beautiful Lake District recently and I have posted a picture of Ruskin's View - a wonderful countryside view that he loved very much.
ReplyDeleteCongratuilations to your son on his Graduation. That's a lovely photo of the three of you.
And in your previous post the birds on your balcony are so pretty. Are they some kind of dove maybe?
Looking like your world is such a busy place at this time of the year, yet you still have time to post the loveliest photos and quotes.
