A Study in Daisies


Good morning!  A few days ago we were walking our walk, the one that is done daily when the weather is cooperating and I discovered the daisy blossoms.  This flower, that is unassuming and simple, is one of my favorites.  I love how daisies will bloom wherever there is sun, their petals facing the bright sky saying "hello" to the world.  They don't care if they bloom on the roadside or in a garden.


I tackled the front room carpet and won the stain battle.  I have crossed off another task on my list of things to do.  The bonus from the work lead to a clean carpet and a fresh smelling house.  Also, I can safely say the ceiling is finally finally finished.  The mud and paint are permanently put away and my house is dust free from more than a day at a time. It's the simple pleasures.

Now if only our bushes that fed the deer through the winter would green up and look fresh!  They still look brown from a distance but up close there is green....I'm hoping that the green takes over.


I am nearly recovered from the Boston weekend, the older I get the longer the recovery time.  I'm embracing my slow mornings, a little more time for myself and the quiet that is present when he goes off to work.  Cheerio breakfasts are tasty and I've been eating salads for lunch daily.  My body is thanking me for that extra green! Today is a steamy humid day and we have dinner plans with friends.

Have a lovely weekend!!

  2. Daisys are my favorite flower too. So simple and clean looking. Since the kids are out of school my mornings are a lot less stressful. I can get ready for work in peace and leave the house without a bunch of stress and drama. ;)
    I have a couple more weekends of "getting stuff done" before I can relax and start enjoying my summer. :)
    Hope you have a great weekend!

  3. Hurrah for a finished paint and mudding job! I know I was super excited to be done with laying tile, painting, cleaning up after... It is worth it though, isn't it? Feels like a fresh start in a way. Have a fabulous weekend!

  5. I love daisies too. Our fields are filled with them in the summer. Your bushes should recover. The deer destroyed ours a few years ago, but they all came back. We learned our lesson that year and now we put netting around our landscaping in the winter. It doesn't look the prettiest, but it protects our shrubs and trees!

    1. You know, they look a little greener...so maybe with the rain they will take off. The deer usually eat the one bush that I consider a decoy. But this year the winter was harsh and they came right up to the house and mowed them all down!!

  12. Gorgeous daisies! They're so bright and cheerful! Please share your carpet stain removal tricks. There's a stain on the upstairs bedroom carpet that's been here since we bought our cottage and I haven't been able to get rid of it.

  13. You are getting so much done around the task. Good for you! That makes everything feel better.

    I've also noticed that recovery takes longer as I get older.
