Woke up with blue toes and a blue brain!! A pity party was on the way ….. the number one problem with pity parties is that you get to be guest of honour and only-guest rolled into one. No-one else wants to come "party" with you………
So, after I had "partied" hard on my own I wandered outside today to find that my white hibiscus has flowered again – six lovely white flowers:
Then I spent some time in the sun on our upstairs deck which has a pink hibiscus –
The pink hibiscus flower looks huge in comparison to the plant's leaves and the plants around it. The deck is a nice place to soak up some rays and garner some healing feelings!

Nice deck too, and I love our flowers, particularly the flower boxes. Glad you found some sunshine, I did the same thing yesterday and it helped 🙂
Thank you the flower boxes are gorgeous and go all the way around – I just couldn't fit them all in the photo frame. The sun does help when you wake up thinking that absolutely everything sucks! 🙂
What lovely flowers. Those should brighten any mood.
Never really
had one of these pity parties never really felt sorry for myself only that I was
stupid when things happened and I should have known better or thought it
through! At least you got up and out to see a nice sunny day and some gorgeous
flowers in bloom, and after all isn’t that the most perfect reason for a day,
sun and nature!
Thank you – yes they should brighten everyone up! It is wonderful sitting out there having a coffee – except when it is so hot!
Yes the most perfect day is one of nice sun and surrounded by nature. And, it did help my mood sitting amongst the flowers.
Well the pink and white and all the other luscious colors may be a good antidote to blue! I love your deck – what a great little haven!
Beautiful deck, and I LOVE the white hibiscus (hibisci?)Glad you got rid of the blues.
I am sorry for you, too bad that the day and surroundings did not cheer you up. But some times life just seems out to get you
Your deck looks fantastic. I wish I had one. There's nothing quite like the beauty of nature to snap us out of the blues is there?
It is a wonderful place to sit and have an early morning coffee – we haven't had too many dinners out on the deck because it has been too hot! I'm looking forward to autumn for that!
LOL- hibisci! Sounds better than hibiscusis! 🙂 Perhaps hibiscus is both singular & plural. You can't be down when sitting amongst all that colour 🙂
The flowers did help … but it is true also that sometimes life does just seem to be picking on someone!
Thank you Jaffnut. We have only been in the house since November but working on making the deck nice was my first priority. We even installed an awning so that we can sit on the deck in drizzle. After 8 years living in an apartment it is wonderful to have an outside area.
that sounds LOVELY!
Boy, do you take a volunteer in your garden?? I really need to smell some flowers and see those gorgeous colors. Wonderful photos! They cheered me up too.
I'm glad they helped to cheer you up – you have had a nasty time with that 'flu.
OK, I would live out there- – GORGEOUS!!!!Blue toes…….((toehugs))
Sounds great (flower boxes)…and sunshine, never forget your dose of sun when feeling blech!
LOL! You could live out there in spring and autumn. It should be like a sports car – a convertable so it could be all seasons. I am going to be so sad in winter when I just have big pots of dirt to look at!!!
There's a lot of goodness in the sun – just small doses can do wonders for mood and injuries. Whenever we cut ourselves or anything like that my father would say "stick it out in the sun" …
Yes, that's the trouble with decks and balconies in theses changeable climates….LOL — if you leave the dirt out, you may get birdies stopping by in the winter, looking for things to eat.
Some sunshine is just what you need for lifting the mood.
I just realised that my last comment to you was posted in my hen holidays alter ego.. sorry, getting a bit schitzo here!
Thank you Timothy.
LOL – my pots of dirt! Next you will be suggesting I put sunflower seeds & millet in them! 🙂
LOL! Yes I was confused for a moment! Maybe you need more sunshine! 🙂
Your dad had some good advice! I've been doing my own sun moments…nothing like it 🙂
and some corn.and thistle seed…?
Fathers know best! 🙂
I don't think we have birds in my neighbourhood……… I have not heard any birdsong.
maybe they're waiting for a birdie drive-thru? Er….fly-thru?
