Monday's Musings

Happy Monday!   I have sunflowers now blooming in my garden.  In just a few days, maybe 10, since I first saw the beginnings of a bloom, a couple of sunflowers have opened up.  This is a tall boy, I really had to stretch to get this shot! 

This is what they looked like just a few days ago.  I have more that will bloom before long.  Don't you think, like I do, that sunflowers are just the happiest looking flower?   

 

Does anyone know what this little yellow flower is?  It comes up every year and it is one we brought from my inlaw's yard several years ago.  This is the first year it has bloomed since it was planted.  We had to cut some trees that died during last year's drought and I think they needed the sunlight which they now get.  I had this flower in my yard when we lived in the country.  I think my MIL got a start of this flower from us.  She called it "bread and butter".   

We still have the kittens.  This little one above hurt his leg over a week ago and we couldn't put him through the trauma of moving to a strange home with a bum leg.  So when he's healed up, we will then take them to their new home.  Here he is getting some TLC from his mom.

 

I took my Nikon Coolpix back to the store last week.  I took lots of pics with it, but I didn't get the closeups I was looking for.  I rarely ever return anything, but they had said I could try it out and return it if it didn't work out.  I like Canon, that is what my larger camera is, so I'm going in that direction next.  I found one that has a lot of good reviews and it is pocket-sized, which is what I want.  Hopefully, I'll find one without having to order it.  

Thank you to everyone who commented on my last post.  It was so interesting to find out if you were an extrovert or introvert.  Or, as Patti said, a mixtravert!  :)  I do think there is a bit of both in most of us.  I am an introvert, but I can socialize and talk to almost anyone when I need/want to.  I just don't feel the need to be around people all that often.  I do like my alone time and there is so much I'm interested in, so much to do, that I never get bored.  That said, I will say I do love spending time with my hubby and my 2 children.  But, even then, I need my quiet, alone time just as they need theirs.  I just had a thought...do you think bloggers are mostly introverts?  You know, we can interact with others but don't have to leave our homes to do so!     

Until next time...
