Here I stand, watching as summer passes me by, as the peace lay quietly in the pasture. I am not even sure they noticed. Sunday has always been a family day, one spent surrounded by that special brand of love. Then again, Sunday seems to be a day of grateful vibes passing from one to another, crisscrossing the globe. When I stop and think about it, with all that is going on in the world, I still have so much to be thankful for. I know it is easier to focus on what is wrong with the world and while I never forget, I don't want that to smother the good with the not-so-great.
The day absolutely belongs to @c0ff33a and his #SublimeSunday. Where you can post your random thoughts and dreams between the lines. I thank him in advance for this opportunity to throw caution to the wind and let it flow. Definitely a #SublimeSunday in the making, by the Meister of my morning, @c0ff33a. I do love my @c0ff33a and he likes eclectic! A match made in heaven.
Life is so much better with friendship and love in it. It doesn't even have to be another person. It can be the love of nature, love of running, love of art, or love of life. Embrace it, whatever you love. Look around this world and develop your sense of appreciation for the joyful sights around you. Flowers in the woods, the laughter of children, the sound of the waves rolling in... and on and on.
Today was a down day of sorts for me, which means that I will probably be spending most of my day between family and gardens, Both are needing a little bit of love and deadheading one and bonding with the other. I hope I get it right. I planted some marigold seeds late in the season and now I need to take the time to pull off some seeds and lessen the weeds. I always broadcast throughout the gardens, sure to plant in all the empty spots. Here! Take a couple of flowers! Flowers! There always must be flowers! #alwaysaflower
Now that summer is passing, this might well be saved for the spring, but, we still will have some warm days ahead. How many people infuse water? I know... I know... old news, but, lime is my new go-to infuser. As an aside, if I have leftover fruit and some rosemary and/or thyme, I chop them up and put them in an ice cube tray, and fill them with water. The next time I am going to get water, I pop them out and put them in my cup. I can put one in a drink bottle as I am going out the door. Quick and easy! Eclectic and true!
At first, lemon is what I was using to infuse my water. I wasn't a huge water drinker at one time, but, I knew it was good for me. It was a nice change and refreshing too. Take the slices and put them in a drinking container and fill it with water. Sometimes I like to put different citruses together. I have gotten a little more adventurous over the years and started adding herbs, but keep in mind, the longer the herbs sit, the stronger they will taste.
#BeautifulSunday by @Ace108 where you share your day and what you did. I share with you the part where I went through the garden weeding it and picking some seeds from it, then spent the day with family, celebrating life. So, I am thinking back on my day and the beauty I saw with these eyes and felt with this heart.
All I have are my words, armed in my mind, written in pen, stand by stand. Oh, yes. Still by hand. It has a different feel. Altered not by keys, backspace, and delete, I write, erase, tear it to pieces and start all over again. And again.
It’s my way. I walk out to the deep end of the page and dive right in.
And just like that, these words are done. I want to thank @ace108 and @c0ff33a for hosting these wonderful challenges! I had a most wonderful day and I hope this will be the start of an awesome week! So cast your hooks out to reel in some sunshine and happiness! You know you want to! Have a fabulous day! You know I will love you until the end of time. I don't think I can ever express that enough. Ever. Ever. Ever.
The Road Not Taken
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I -
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

Have a nice day. All the best. Greetings and much love from Hungary.
Indeed. Without it, what is the point? Thank you and I hope you have a great start to your week. I forgot to ask, are you closer to work now or further living with your brother?
Currently I live with my brother. Nowadays he sleep mostly in the other house, but in the same village. Only one street away, which takes a few minutes of walk. We meet mostly every day. Sometimes he sleep in the same house and in the same room with me. We have two separate beds of course, in the corners of the room.
If he has two houses, why on earth didn't he have you live with him from the beginning? That makes no sense.
Unless the house belongs to someone else. Are you going to have heat this winter? Does it have a stove to cook and a kitchen?
None of the houses belongs to him. He still have a lot of debt (thousands of dollars). Yes. There will be proper heating this winter. Currently we can cook foods in the other house. Fortunately/luckily currently I do not have financial problems, and the owner of the houses does not ask for rent, just/only the bills (electricity, water), so if there will be no unexpected events, then I will be able to financially get through this winter without any problem.
Isnt that wonderful? See how things are looking up? Are you still working? I hope you are stashing your cash in case you need it sometime this winter.
No. I lost one of my part time jobs, when the government of the other village sold the house, in which I lived, and I had to leave the other part time job too, when I moved from the other village, because my housing was uncertain at that time (at first the owner of the houses was not allowed me with my Harris's hawk in the house, and I did not know for almost one month where I will go, but later he changed his mind). Nowadays I live only on my low (approximately $250 USD per month) pension-like income.
I am trying to build both an active income and a passive income too with the Hive blockchain. Currently I have $113.59 HBD in savings.

Thanks for the LUV!
As always awesome photographs from you dear mam. Sunday is weekend of many nations and they seems enjoy their weekend full on. I'm waiting for winter as I love it. Summer is not my season as I don't like sweating. But many people love summer as yummy fruits available in this season. I love photographs of nature and you’ve shared the beautiful eye catchy natural views 💝💓💗❤️💖
Thank you so much! This is actually one of my favorite seasons. Autumn is cooler and I Like that, I do not like being hot. Spring is also cool. We have four seasons and only summer is hot.
Thank you. The pictures are of the pasture that our horses are in. They love running across it at full speed. We are surrounded by nature here, the forests and the city is on the other side of town.
I hope you have a wonderful week ahead.
We have six seasons! summer, rainy, autumn, late autumn, winter and spring but sometimes seasons behave abnormal like we have rain in summer and also in winter, we feel a little hot even its not summer. For global warming I think seasons doesn’t behave normally. Your house is in a nice area and I wish to have my future house in a place where full of trees and plants and where there I can connect with nature.
I wish you a very blessed week ahead! Enjoy your Monday.
Sure looks and sounds like a super Sunday all around! Oh an since I quit Mt Dew, I have become a daily tea drinker. It aint too bad take it all around.
Keep it classy. :)
First and Fourth photos.... completely Wow !
The flower capture in 3.... perfect. The mix of colors and design just make my eyes happy.
Of course all your photos are good all the time and you can't go wrong with flowers, but once in a while there is something extra special going on.
Glad your Sunday was happy and sunny. Gray and wet here, not one drop of sun at all!
Hope you have a happy week.
Nothing like the sweeping look of a field, yes? The horses agree with you and they are grazing as fast as they can. They love this time of year, it is such a nice relief from a hot summer.
It really was pretty hot this summer.
When it is hot, they are in the cool barn during the day and out at night. Opposites. In this weather, they are out 24/7 as they love the cooler weather, but, do come in for a nap and breakfast. They lay down for a few hours. :)
Crazy growing flowers, but, just how I like them. :)
I am hoping this week is calmer than last week. Too many people, so behind on my #MarketFriday (behind by weeks!) but last night, I stayed up forever (you know how late we both stay up? This was way later!) and I finished it. Yay! So here it is Sunday and I got a handful more!
Yikes!
Anyway, you are so kind and thoughtful with your words. So thank you muchly and I hope you got to your Moms and had a great day!
A great week ahead for you!!! I insist!
I got to Moms yesterday....LOL My power went out because of the storm on Friday evening and was still off yesterday, so I went to her house, did my Sunday visit on Saturday and recharged my phone and fan/light. My power was back on when I got home around 5:30, which made it off almost exactly 24 hours.
Today has been my day to lazily do whatever. I did a little straightening that I would have done yesterday, but not everything that I should have. Oh well... it will wait for me because there is nobody else to do it. It doesn't seem to bother me for some reason. I'm so glad I got over that part of my life where I couldn't sit down and read in a room if it wasn't straight. 😄
How fortunate are you? You get a day to yourself? Oh! To be that
lazylucky!It was nice, it just didn't last long enough.... and you were right the first time... oh lazy me !
I want some of that lazy time!!!! Gimme! Gimme!
You'll have to take it Sista ! Imma little greedy with mine.
where are my Sublime Sunday? It has been raining for 2 weeks on Sundays and Saturdays.
On weekdays, even the sun shines, and as a day off, it rains almost all day.
You got cheated!!! Let's get a reccount!

Aw, I'm sorry you've had a down day, but it looks like you were able to keep your head about you to help yourself in the best way possible. All will be better tomorrow!
Oh, sorry! Down Day as in no running around and hanging with the family. It was actually quite good and now I was even able to finish MarketFriday AND post! Score~ I haven't had a day so cooperative in months! :)
Thanks, Victor! I hope you weekend was great! @wwwiebe
Oh! HAHAHAHA! I take it back then! Hahaha! (Just kidding)
Tomorrow is still going to be better!

I cant believe i missed it. I had a great post I did for it 😌 Next year. I should schedule it now!
Thanks, Victor @wwwiebe that was really kind of you. :)

Indeed, Life is so much better with friendship and love in it.
Yes, me too. I infuse my water with lemon, or lime, or strawberry with mint. It's good I have purified water from a tap.
Happy Sunday, @dswigle !
Strawberry and mint! Yummy! Strawberries are no longer in season here, but, it gives me something to look forward to! :)
I do love having purified water!
Making different infusers always give me an incentive to drink a little bit more.
Happy Sunday @silversaver888 !! ❤️
Family and garden? That was a great Sunday for sure! Those marigold looks beautiful and my mother would love to plant that too😁 ( she started planting since the day she stays at home).
I also added some sliced lemon in my tumbler but mixed it with some honey to balance the taste that I wanted.
It was a great Sunday! I have always planted, working or not. I plant things that can mostly take care of themselves. :)
Yummy! Do you add honey? I never thought of that. I don't use sugar or sweeteners, so it tastes fine to me, but, just the thought of honey in there sounds delicious!
Thank you for stopping by and leaving your words!
Have a great Monday!
You're a plant lover I think. I wanted to plant also, and by next week I hope I could plant vegetables in my little garden.
I hope that you get to plant them next week! Let me know, I'll come and look!
I'll try my best to buy seedlings in the market this coming marketday. I'll let you know soon.
Somehow, I think the cow is whispering: "Winter is coming"
Haha! He really is!! Almist 80 again this week. :) almost summer again.
Thank you for reposting @pixresteemer! Have a great night!
What an amazing place and amazing photos.
Everything looks Perfect.🤍
Thank you for the words! Have a great evening.
What a wonderful place and wonderful photos 😊😊
Thank you so much!
You're welcome
Amazing photography from you Ma'am keep up the good work 👍😊
I think that it is wonderful that you leave comments, but, if you really want your words to mean something, you should no write generic comments like this. It feels like you didn't even read the post.
Good job. Amazing photography. Read the posts and write words that reflect what you think. A genuine comment will surely get you more attention on the blockchain.
This is s sincere comment, not meant to make you feel bad, just put you on the right track. @sommylove
Have a great day!
