WHEN I WOKE YESTERDAY IT WAS GLOOMY AS I GOT UP WITH THE LARKS.
NOT A DAY TO GO WALKING AT ALL OR SITTING AROUND IN THE PARKS.
I DECIDED ANOTHER CLEAR OUT OF MY JEWELLERY BOXES THREE.
I DON'T OFTEN WEAR MUCH OF THIS NOWADAYS AS I DO NOT GO OUT MUCH YOU SEE.
NECKLACES OF EVERY DESIGN WITH EARINGS TO MATCH THERE TOO.
COSTUME JEWELLERY FIRST I CLEARED ALL THE REDS AND BLACKS AND BLUE.
WHITES AND PINKS AND LILACS ALL COLOURS UNDER THE SUN.
OH IT TOOK ME HOURS TO SORT THEM ON DOING SO I HAD MUCH FUN.
AS EACH PIECE BROUGHT A MEMORY OF SOME EVENT I'D BEEN ON.
OUTINGS AND GATHERINGS OF FAMILY WHEN TO WEDDINGS AND THINGS WE HAVE GONE.
THEN CAME THE SORTING OF HAIR ORNAMENTS YES I HAVE LOTS IN STORE.
AS I HAVE HAD MY HAIR FAIRLY LONG FOR MANY A YEAR AND MORE.
SO ON SPECIAL OCCASIONS I USUALY WEAR
SOMETHING ADORNING MY HAIR.
AS IN THE PICTURE BELOW HERE YOU SEE SOME FLOWERS IN MY HAIR THERE .
THIS WAS AT SOMEONES WEDDING A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO NOW.
I WAS LOOKING DOWN AT MY GRANDAUGHTER DANCING AWAY OH WOW.
THEY DIDIN'T WANT ANYONE IN HATS SO I HAD TO TRIM UP MY HAIR.
OTHERWISE DO NOT AKS ME WHY I THINK I WOULD HAVE FELT BARE.
SO YES EACH PIECE I SORTED A MEMORY IT BROUGHT MY WAY.
OF ME ENJOYING MYSELF ALL DRESSED UP ON SOME CELEBRATION DAY.
ALMOST LIKE WHENYOU HEAR CERTAIN MUSIC IT BRINGS TO YOUR MIND THE SAME.
A MEMORY OF SOMETHING IN THE TUNE TAKES YOU WONDERING DOWN OLD MEMORY LANE.
WELL THE JEWELLERY AND THINGS FINALLY SORTED IT TOOK ME MANY HOURS.
SO I THEN WENT OUT AND DECIDED TO TAKE A FEW SNAPS OF MY FLOWERS.
I THOUGHT I MIGHT CHEER YOU UP MY FRIENDS FROM THESE LONG DARK DISMAL DAYS.
WE HAVE ALL BEEN EXPERIANCING RAINSTORMS AND WINDS BUT NOT MANY SUNSHINE RAYS.
YET MY LITTLE PANSIES HAVE DONE SO WELL THEY ARE BLOOMING AND BOWING THERE HEADS .
EACH MORNING I GO TO TEND THEM AND PLUCK OFF THE ONES THAT ARE DEAD.
IN THE BITING WIND THEY FLOURISH AND LIVING HERE AT THE COAST.
THROUGH ALL THE GALES AND THE SALT AIR AROUND THERE CERTAINLY PROVING THE MOST.
HEALTHY LOOKING PANSIES AND I WISH I COULD SAY THE SAME.
FOR ME MYSELF MY FRIENDS BUT I CANNOT THAT WOULD BE REALY VAIN.
SO I HOPE THESE FEW LITTLE PANSIES FOR THOUGHT HAVE CHEERED YOU ALL TODAY .
AND LETS HOPE NOW WE ARE ALMOST IN FEBRUARY SPRING SOON WILL BE ON ITS WAY.
OH HOW I LOVE THE SPRINGTIME WITH DAFFY'S AND TULIPS AND SUCH .
YOU KNOW HOW I LOVE MY FLOWERS AND I MISS MY GARDENS SO MUCH.
NOT TO WORRY AS LONG AS I HAVE MY POTS AT LEAST THERE SHOWING THERE WORTH .
AS NEARER GODS HEART IN A GARDEN THAN ANYWHERE ELSE ON EARTH.
SO ONCE AGAIN A MEMORY THESE TINY PANSIES BROUGHT ME.
GROWING THERE IN THAT TINY POT ORANGES AND LEMONS YOU SEE.
OF ALL MY DELIGHTFUL GARDENS IV'E MADE WHEN I USED TO HAVE LARGE PLOTS.
IT'S NOT THE SIZE OF THE GARDEN BECAUSE " LITTLE THINGS MEAN A LOT ".
ISN'T IT STRANGE HOW SORTING MY JEWELERY AND SORTING MY HAIR ONAMENTS .
BROUGHT ME A DAY OF JOY AND BROUGHT ME SUCH MEMORIES AND SENTIMENTS.
SO WHEN ALL WAS FINALLY SORTED OUT AND ALL THINGS WERE TIDY AND FINE.
I SAT DOWN RELAXED AND DECIDED TO WRITE YOU ANOTHER OF
" MY SIMPLE RHYMES ".
HAVE A LOVELY DAY EVREYONE
