“Today, whatever is good for your soul, do that.”

Today is a #BeautifulSunday in so many ways. I want to thank @Ace108 for hosting the tag and for his constant support in all things steemit. I also want to thank @c0ff33a for hosting #SublimeSunday, making this a straightforward day of sunshine and happiness, if only in your heart.

It was not the day I had planned, but, it was mine. This alone was enough for a celebration. Seems like time is not my own lately, so instead of being in attendance at the Portrait Gallery, here I would be playing in the dirt. No contest! Not today anyway! This is my #beautifulsunday.

Watching a soft breeze pluck the seeds off a dandelion and carry them gently up into the air, I watch with childish delight… it has always and forever been about the thrill of the magical wish. You know what I mean… Eyes closed tight, the mystery of the desire embedded in your soul… If you know the secret handshake of the ritual, you slip a little wish in for someone else too, to help send your wish on its way. Such is the simple pleasures of childhood. — at my secret wish place.

Carried by the wind. Oh, that is the way I would like to be. Oh, what an extraordinary flight that would be! I watch as those fluffy parts of it come apart, dispersing in all directions... a free fall of sorts. Fly away! Fly away! Fly away, all!

That simple act of childhood delight lifts my heart, don't you know? When we were kids, my mother told us that the seeds will be blown through the air, carrying your very thoughts and dreams to those whom you loved. Who could resist? And so, this one is for you.

It was early and the garden shop was practically empty. I go to church earlier than most people, so I beat the regular church crowd. And speaking of church, I want to wish all of my friends who celebrate Orthodox Easter a very Happy Easter! Have a beautiful day of celebration!

I meander around, taking my time, touching everything, just like a toddler. So many choices for me. I am sure I will find what I am looking for. Or, I may have to come back another day! Oh, hurt me.

A flower. Always. These beautiful little flowers are dedicated to #SundayPurple #ColorChallenge by @Kalemandra. There must always be a flower to color my world.

Effortless in nature
Simple beauty just takes my breath away

I found what I am looking for, I just couldn't let them all be sold before I got another plant or three. She is sooo unusual. I need to save some seeds in case they don't have them again next season.

My last act of fun for the moment! Find someone to curl up with. Yes!! I am a day late and a dollar short for #Caturday, but, that is the story of my life at the moment.

Here is a picture of my two little kitties, when they were a little bit younger, all cozy and napping on a soft rug. They used to find comfort in the company of each other until the male decided he was the boss. We all know how that story ends...

Happy #Caturday!!

I always post this poem down at the bottom of my posts. It is one that has become so near and dear to my heart. I only post the most famous part of it, but, wanted to post it in its entirety today.

they set my aunts house on fire
i cried the way women on tv do
folding at the middle
like a five pound note.
i called the boy who use to love me
tried to ‘okay’ my voice
i said hello
he said warsan, what’s wrong, what’s happened?

i’ve been praying,
and these are what my prayers look like;
dear god
i come from two countries
one is thirsty
the other is on fire
both need water.

later that night
i held an atlas in my lap
ran my fingers across the whole world
and whispered,
"where does it hurt?"
it answered,

"everywhere"
"everywhere"
"everywhere"

warsan shire

Oh those bleeding hearts are more reddish than my hearts which are much more pinkish...well I should not say "are" but rather, "will be" someday maybe if we dont slid right into fall and skip Spring/Summer for the year LOL.

If you are going to blow the dandelion seeds, be sure to move over close to the neighbors lawn before you do it LOL. I cannot believe you got your post up before I even got a shower OMG!

I will resteem ya in a bit Princess!

Aha! My bleeding hearts are red probably because they are red bleeding hearts! They now have red, pink and white. /growing up, my mom always had the pink ones and our neighbor had red ones. Of course, after several seasons, they traded and then they each had both colors.

Oh, you may be later in the season, but, think how you will be enjoying the beginning of your spring, long after ours has peaked and we will be whining to you! Just wait and see. I intend on putting in my share of the whining, don't you worry.

Hehe.... well, I blew it in the yard. Too late! But, no worries! I love those little yellow salad greens. They are pretty yummy.

My post? Hello, @old-guy-photos! I was up, churched and back from the garden center, then after I made coffee and breakfast for everyone, put up the post. OMG! You need to start getting up before noonish!! But, I get it. You do your best work after midnight.

Thanks for the resteem!

Oh the hours and hours over the years I have spent in various garden Centres, mostly taking my mother around so she could choose fresh flowers for her beds, hanging baskets and pot’s. At the time it felt like a chore, but now she has passed I miss that time we spent together.

You found some beautiful flowers, and your photography always brings out the best in them - stunning as always a true delight of a post.

I can not remember if I thanked you for voting my Witness not so long ago - if I did thank you again I really appreciate every single vote - I might note be a technical coding whizz Witness but I do my best to be active and promote Steem so the value of the token we all hold can increase in value.

Wishing on dandelions, may all your wishes come true like fairy dust!

Beautiful flowers, what a treat spending a morning selecting a few for the garden Denise.

Cuddled up kitties to come home to look so relaxed, might as well join them, have a wonderful week!

What a delightful comment! There's just something so relaxing about strolling among the blooming. I could be surrounded in nature and be very happy. I think it's my sweet spot.

I did the needful this weekend and poked in some flowers where they were empty spots, which every year becomes less and less. Today is a shadow of overcast and I think curling up would be a sweet idea! My week has started out in a most positive way and I hope yours does too!

Also find it relaxing down at our local nursery, normally have a breakfast outdoors which is pleasant.

Planting of late I transitioned over to plants that need little or no water... nor looking after moving to succulents and cactus or happy local greenery Denise.

Thank you for that. Thank you for the sheer pleasure of your presence. You are such a breath of fresh air.

I am glad you are off to such an amazing Sunday... If there is art, music or any kind of culture involved, count me in! I hope you had a most delightful day and I want to hear all about it!!!

What a wonderful post, quite delightful, this one line

making this a straightforward day of sunshine and happiness, if only in your heart.
really caught with me, if everyone could feel that and fill their hearts with Sunshine and happiness, how great the world could be

I still blow the little fairies as I called them as a kid, Seeds now off dandelions, of course when no one is watching it probable looks weird someone my age doing it LOL

It must have been nice being at the garden center with so few people there I know how you love the place

And let me finish off with another line that stuck with me from a song I was listening to today

May the best of your today's be the worst of your tomorrows

Thank you, always. Sunday's seem to be a good day for me to post. Day of rest, sort of. LOL Is there ever one?

Oh, how I wish the world could fill their hearts to the brim. For I cannot imagine how much better life would be if there were enough sunshine and happiness to go around.

I still blow on the dandelions! And proud of it. LOL Oh, I am sure that anyone over the age of 12 looks odd, but, I have always loved it. The garden center is one of my favorite places, but, once I get it all planted, I usually don't go back for the season. Too much temptation!

May the best of your day today's be the worst of your tomorrows

Oh, yes!!!!

Good morning
Sunday is normally my down day but yesterday it was the opposite I was busy most of the day and lost track of time and was still editing photos at midnight when I noticed the time getting up at 4 was a struggle and then I came outside to borderline freezing temps what is up with that

Glad it’s not just me still blowing the dandelions lol

Have a great day

We're on the lookout for the Double Pleat Blackberry Columbine around here.

Oh, let me know if you find them! I would be interested to know if you do. Oh, wait! I have the tag that shows the grower, I think. Nope, but, it does have the cold hardiness. I am sure this won't help. LOL

Good luck!

Sometimes, you need lonely times to do things you want to do or...
to do the nothing you want to do. :-)

I agree with you, Ace! @ace108

Some days all I want to do is nothing and just be. I have become peaceful, just thinking about it. Thank you for the kind words and the always generous upvote.

As always, I wish you a most wonderful week ahead!
