It’s Not About MPG
Fern Peonies soaking up the early morning sunlight.
This morning I was up at six as hubby Dennis had to do a road trip of supplies for his nephew’s concrete business. Of course it was coffee cup in hand as I headed out to the east garden to do a field check. You never know what will change from day to day. It has become a habit to slip my camera into my robe pocket. Again, you never know what you will run across to photograph.
The sunlight on the Fern Peonies was stellar. I do know that I will have to move these beauties come August. The Maple shrub in this little pod has become large enough that it is giving too much shade for these sun-loving plants. I was greeted by a hoard of mosquitoes before I ever hit my destination. I persevered long enough for a photo op, but knew my plan for the day that had included working in the flower bed east of the house was not going to pan out. There is no way to apply bug spray in all the areas that bugs find to bite.
I decided to take a small road trip. The number of miles per gallon is not always on the top of my list of priorities. My days of being on the road during the work schedule is history. I will say today my road trip brought me more blessings than I could have obtained if someone else filled my car with fuel for . . . the entire year. It just takes the single thought when one has to go from plan A to plan B and then act on it. Thank you Lord for the memories of this day.
