Most important, breathe. Since they put beer in blue bottles I have seen more of them on the roadside. What a statement that makes. ?? Have a great weekend 'relaxing'.

Gail, Illicium sent me to my Dirr - sadly all species are zones 7-9 - and especially sad when he said, "several students described odor as resembling a gin-and-tonic" (one of my all time favs) which I believe fits in perfectly to this post of smile, breathe and go slowly.....B.
ReplyDeleteI love the smell of g&t's! xo
DeleteI'm also partial to his poem "Peace is every step." Thank you for the lovely reminder to dust off his books, find a seat in the garden, and read them again.
ReplyDeleteWise words! Relaxing about life helps put it all in perspective. :o)
ReplyDeleteWell of course you are relaxed, if you finished that bottle of Reisling before you put it out into the garden!
