You need to learn how to select your thoughts
just the same way you select your clothes every day.
This is a power you can cultivate.

Two. Week's Favourite
Our Mock Orange
This shrub is creating a flurry of gorgeous in the corner of my garden today. I love how the blue, clear sky creates a perfect foil for her white petals. I so wish I could capture the sweet fragrance that is wafting on the breezes -- I'd share it with you. All this beauty right outside my kitchen window. So much for which to be grateful!
Three. In My Shoes
My black L.L. Bean comfy slippers
On that note, I'm wishing you from the bottom of my heart,
a pleasant and heart-comforted weekend!
With love and hugs,

The shoes meant for indoors only--haha--except I wear them when I sit on the deck, when I'm taking out just this little bag of garbage, or, when I'm off to pick a little posy and I really won't step in the dirt to reach for that blossom. Aha ...
On that note, I'm wishing you from the bottom of my heart,
a pleasant and heart-comforted weekend!

You do such beautiful work with your blog! I'm reminded of the mock orange that my grandmother grew. Such an aroma!! I make myself take my comfy slippers off in lieu of outside slip-ons when I head outside. It's so tempting to keep them on! xo Nellie
ReplyDeletecomfy slippers
ReplyDeletegreat photos, enjoy the peace of today the Sabbath!
ReplyDeleteYou always share the nicest quotes Brenda and I like your comfy slippers.
ReplyDeleteI hope Father's Day is bright and sunny.
I think that I'm going to start my own quote book so that I can record the thoughtful quotes that you share!
ReplyDeleteI love that Rumi quote/poem - and your shoes/slippers are cute! If they are also that comfortable, no wonder you wear them all the time :-)
ReplyDeleteYellow is such a great color. I'll add it to any other color that I might wear or even around the house. I think it goes with everything!

Oh I love LL Bean slippers and I am glad that you do, too. I also tend to use mine in the great world beyond, too. I had no idea that saffron came from crocus centers. Wonderful to learn new things.
ReplyDeleteHope you had a great weekend and are having a great week!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful yellows! Love the mock orange. My mother has one, and I love its gorgeous scent! The shoes do look cozy. Thank you so much for joining Friday's Hunt. Have a great week ahead!
ReplyDeleteLovely, Brenda. I am partial to yellow myself. I love the lamplight in your sitting room :) I've always wanted a mock orange.....love the quotes, especially the Elizabeth Gilbert quote. Comfy shoes are the only ones I wear now....life is too short to walk in uncomfortable shoes! Sending hugs and blessings xo Karen
ReplyDeleteThe shade of yellow in that room is perfect. I love yellow too and have dots of it in our bedroom.
ReplyDeleteLove your choices for Friday Hunt! Especially the yellow flower:) But the quote of Shubert really got me! Thank you for visiting me:) I had trouble of thinking of something off the grid for the "in my shoes," but you did great:)
ReplyDeleteYou might like to consider joining SEASONS the was started a few months ago, where any experience during the Season is a great subject! The photo link is open from Sunday (12 am) to Wednesday 7pm Pacific time. So, you could even still get in on it this week,
Hope to see you this, or next week:) It is always in a post where the first word of the title is SEASONS:):)
My Grandparents had a mock orange bush, and I do remember that lovely scent!
ReplyDeleteYellow has never been much of my color, but I do love yellow crocuses and pansies. The lamplight in the room glows a welcome to anyone who enters.
ReplyDeleteAh Brenda lovely photos as well as thoughts. My folks have a nick orange shrub. It is so fragrant. Thanks for your cheery post. Have a wonderful day. Hugs!
