A Good Gardenia Morning!















Good Morning or whatever the best greeting is to you, in your part of the world!

Had 2 bit hours of sleep last night; part due to the previous day 'resting' on the couch; and the fact that there are 'owies', associated with all the varied tid colours of the still swollen and severely bruised left foot. Took one painkiller; and it was not really helpful. Believe it or not, it is all under my foot, my toes, and up my leg to mid calf. Nothing like going all out! Not really a LOL matter! Anyway, am doing my best with the RICE implemenation; and just have to continue to 'lay low' with Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation - for those of you who do not know what RICE stands for.

A heat wave has been forecasted for this upcoming long Victoria Day weekend; ie in the 30's. Would really like to garden in our bittidz patio; however I have the feeling that I will be more of the 'supervisor'; whilst Alan does most of the heavier garden / patio tidbitz. That generally is the case anyway! LOL! Even if we just tend to the soil; prepping the pots, and making the bittid garden / patio 'ready', then all we need to do, is to plant away to our hearts' content! Am looking forward to that particular day; wherein, we will appreciate garden grown fresh herbs, vegetables, and flowers. In our little bittid patio, we have quite a bit to do; amazing that even in a tidbit area such as ours, there is still a ton of tid 'stuff' to attend to.

Am also listening to the turned up news from our bedroom T.V; and all I can say is that we are extra thankful for where we live, and are grateful for all our Blessings.

Love the above photo image of the Gardenia; it has such a wonderful smell! Am drawn to the white and green foliage; it permeates such a simple and classical elegance! We have a tid one in our living room; and thus far, it is 'hanging in there'; although, I believe the Gardenia can be quite a challenge to maintain and grow. The Gardenia takes me back to 'school' prom days; when 'Gardenia corsages' were quite the thing. Perhaps this rings memory bells for you as well?

Tidbit - Appreciate the tidbiticals of the day as it unfolds; thinking positively all the while.

Bittid - Reflect on the GOOD things; do not get 'bogged down' with obstacles and 'petty' bittidicals, etc. When you ask Him to carry your burdens, He always does.
