This and that and Summer Solstice coming....

Perfect summer sky...
.
Perfect summer breakfast accompaniment...
.
"Grands'" kitty, next door...
.
Discovered this one little flower, blooming between steps into the pool area.  It had to have seeded itself.  :-)
.
I so love the color combination of my petunias in pots, on back patio....
.
(I apologize for the too-large-horizontal photos below)
.
And now we begin a series of photos, of the water flowing and bubbling, from the little bird bath fountain, into the little pond. 

(And the horizontal photos are too long.  I apologize.)
I know!   "Over kill"!!!  ,-)  Too many pics of water and bubbles.   ,-)
.
But ...   Just scroll down, if you want to.  :-))))
.
.
There!!!!   Those are done!!!!

And now, I am excited about the fact that the Summer Solstice (in the Northern Hemisphere) and the Full Strawberry Moon, coincide on this coming Monday!!!!
.
I love to celebrate seasonal changes.  And also love the Full Moons.  So this will be a very special day/night.  :-)

Has a smile of light
And she sits on a sapphire throne."

If anyone is looking for me..... :-))) (and addition)

It's official!  I am again living in "Sleeping Beauty's Castle"!  See all those vines, on the pool fence?  Of course you see them.  ,-)  Well, don't they look like the over-growth in "Sleeping Beauty's Castle"????
.
And though once I did not like the "Sleeping Beauty's Castle" effect...  Now I welcome it!!!!  
.
With stress bombarding both my husband and I, from every side...  For our own sanity/health, we need to withdraw into our little plot of land.  Into our wild and cultivated flowers.  Into the peace we can make, for each other.  While the world, tries to implode....  And things closer to home, can try to disrupt us, too. 
.
I can't take any of it, anymore.  And I don't think he can, either.  Although he does a better job of being wise, and not letting things "get-to-him", than I do.  But when "things- get-to-me,"  it does not make life easy, for him.
.
So, that's it.  I declare an End!  To accepting into my mind, any/all which would make me sick, in mind and in body.  If I don't do it, who will?
.
So, if anyone is looking for me.....  :-)  I will be inside my  quiet, peaceful, flower laden, whispering breezes blowing, bees buzzing, waving leaves on trees BUBBLE.      
.
Perhaps I can't even watch The Mets games!  I get too invested in win/loss.  ,-))))))))
.
.
.
With wishes for you Dear Readers, to find your Peace. Hugs....   And Love.....

.ADDITION.
I am not leaving blogging or IG.
I am disciplining myself to leave behind,
all angst, which I can not personally change.

I love a wildflower meadow.... :-)

A photo of my husband's old Chevy truck, taken across a wild flower meadow.  It's not really a meadow.  It's just the front perennial garden.  I love it this way!  It is like a meadow of wild flowers.  Nothing better, in my estimation.   
.
The first peony to emerge...  Quite delightful, peeking out from the surrounding Queen Anne's Lace. 
.
Just my silly curtain, made to cover an ugly old shade.  :-)  It's not that lovely...  Needed to be fuller.... But it's fun, for now.  :-)
