Mellow Yellow Monday

Feeling fancy today I guess.  This is, I assume, a weed, if not, it's a wild flower.  It lives on the Venetian Waterway Park.

In an unrelated matter, this morning at 4:30 (the dogs let me sleep in) I was putting on my shoes (Skechers Shape-Ups - THE best shoe, you should try them) to go walk the dogs.  I noticed that I had on leopard print socks, plaid pants of a totally different color family, black shirt, neon orange and yellow safety vest and I started singing to myself, out of the blue, out of memories that are soooooo old:  He wore tan shoes and pink shoe laces, polka dot tie and my oh my - he wore tan shoes and pink shoe laces, a big panama - and then I forgot the last words.  I tried on the whole walk to remember and was going to ask all of you if any of you were old enough to remember.  I hear Connie Francis or Connie Stevens in my mind.  Then suddenly it came to me - a big Panama and a purple hat band.  I think.  Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong - everyone does.  And as I'm re-reading this the yellow polka dot bikini song popped into my head - hooray for yellow! That was in the day when bikinis were so big you could get away with wearing them to work these days.

Mellow Yellow Monday - May all your weeds be wildflowers

That time again - hurtling toward Thanksgiving, then Christmas, then the New Year.  When we were very young we used to wish away all of our time.  What were we thinking?  If only we could do like that George Carlin skit and come into life fully grown, relatively intelligent adults, and go out as little babies.  Wouldn't THAT make life different?  I suppose we would miss a lot though, like all that teenage angst and stuff : )

Push the button on the right and go over to the Mellow Yellow Monday site and spread some cheer and pick some up too.

The purple is porter weed, grows very tall and bushy, the yellow is wedelia, it's a spreading ground cover, and the third one is truly a weed, whose name I do not know.  These are all cohabiting nicely down in the far corner of the yards that we left as cover for the wildlife.  I saw it in action the other day - two squirrels being pursued by a giant greyhound and two furry terriers were able to hide in there and go up a pole and sit on the wire and say nah nah na na nah.  Have a wonderful week.  Be a blessing to someone.  Peace.  B : )
