It is June and I have been thinking about weddings. I have selected my imaginary dress, which is long sleeved and high necked, as it is still cool and I am too old to expose much flesh. I favor lots of lace and a long skirt to swirl during the walk down the aisle. Most importantly, the bouquet must be filled with huge peony blossoms. These blossoms can easily be more than 8 inches wide and filled with ruffles of petals.

Tomorrow is June 1 and I have been thinking about weddings. I have selected my imaginary dress, which is long sleeved and high necked, as it is still cool and I am too old to expose much flesh. I favor lots of lace and a long skirt to swirl during the walk down the aisle. I have imagined everything for my wedding but the groom. At my age there doesn’t seem to be any prospects.

Kathy and Mary sowed some patio pots with thyme, oregano and borage. Borage, a Mediterranean herb, is desirable in the garden because its flowers attract pollinating bees, but it also has been used for centuries as a medicinal.

Sometimes in the cool months of spring I find a bit of sunshine and I turn my face into the golden glow to catch its warmth just like the blossoms of the sunflower do. The warm rays change my thoughts from gloomy to glorious. I’m glad to be filled with happy vibes. Warm summer is soon to be here where sunflowers thrive. My introduction to sunflowers came in a small packet of seeds. The tiny kernels came encased in black-and-white striped shells that had been soaked in salt water.

Used the new eGates after landing at Pearson recently. Brilliant! Really sped up passage through customs and immigration. Now if they could just fix the other problems … I hear things are improving but still a way to go. #TorontoPearson #travel
After yesterday’s minor but irritating hassles (14-hour blackout, worrying about food in the fridge, needing to upload travel docs, phone dying, etc.), I was prepared for a bad time at Pearson today. Miraculously I cleared security in 3 mins! Bermuda sunshine here I come!
I laugh with derision each time I hear a disgraced politician say they plan to self isolate for 14 days after returning from a vacation abroad. So, we’re supposed to applaud them for following a mandatory government regulation? #wednesdaythought #Travel #COVID19
