I just happened to pop up from bed this morning thinking I had an appointment today and had over slept. It was 4 A.M. and still dark out. Talk about confused! No, I didn't have an appointment but in the back of my mind I thought of the car's trunk just crammed with my load of newly purchased plants for my flower boxes. I knew I had to get up and get them out of there so they could breath. And yes, I did go overboard but such a pretty case of 'overboard'. I said to the lady helping me fit them into the car, "I wish I could just drive home with the lid open. All these flowers are glorious and should be seen, not closed up in the trunk." She laughed at me and said, "I'll see you tomorrow." Hmmm, I don't think so. However, there were a few new specimens I'd never seen before and I'm sure they would add height to the box gardens. Yep, she knows me!
Since it's dark I certainly can't describe the day but I can say that with hubby sleeping and the AC turned off to give it a break, it's mighty quiet in here. Of course I hear the droning of my fridge as it chugs along. That sound certainly isn't new. The fans are gently whirring, waiting to be turned on high as soon as it starts to get warm without the AC on. I just get so tired of all the noise, my mind needed a break also. Did I mention I'm not that much in love with noise?
Gee, I'm also questioning new sounds I haven't heard before, like some banging from outside. Perhaps an early wood pecker breaking in on the soothing quiet. I love it but can now hear the ice maker kicking in and depositing ice cubes for my ice water. The ice cube container has to be shared with hubby's pop sickles so I have put a divider in it. LOL, sometimes it's quite a sight when he overloads his side with his bounty and all my ice cubes go over the top and down into the fridge. Then I must turn off the ice maker until there's room for the ice! It's a good thing I can drink cold water from the faucet.
I don't hear the birds at all. I guess it must be too early for them. For me too to be truthful. I tried to go back to bed and get some extra Zzzzzzzzzz, but my mind wouldn't calm down and let me. At least I can write in my blog without any disturbances and finish before too late in the day. And I can also unload my bounty being held prisoner in the dark car trunk. I just have to wait a little longer for the day light to catch up to me.
This is about it for now. I have to rescue my prisoners and get dressed, in that order. It is getting light out and I can make my way to the car. I forget what the weather is for today so must find a safe place for them. If it's sunny and hot, they will wilt, if it rains they will be beaten down. For sure, it's time I move my carcass and get it done. with a car short, my son has to borrow mine. I don't think he'd appreciate a trunk full of flowers and neither would I after spending so much time choosing just the right ones. Yesterday I had a trunk full of lawn chairs I had forgotten about so had no room for the flowers. Oh well, back home again to unload only to go to the nursery and reload. What a waste of gas. I certainly didn't "go green" and I hope I wasn't spotted by the "green police."
Have a happy day! I intend to.
