Good morning! It’s Wednesday. And at the very height of yesterday’s heat, while the peonies floompfed and the strawflowers sagged and even the hearty rugosas pined for a breeze, the clematis took a different approach. She turned her first, bravest bud toward the sun and opened it wide with a smile.
Great quotes, and yes, both appropriate depending on the circumstances, and one's personal soul stamina of the time. Our clematis is also happy, thanks to its roots being ok with our high water table. Keeping fingers crossed that we continue to have an occasional rain and not the drought of last summer.
These are both such great quotes! And the clematis is proof that there is light, bright and hope even in the most challenging days of weather - and life.
Personally, I try to stay in touch with reality while facing it as Helen Keller suggests but usually end up in Lily Tomlin’s camp; nevertheless, a stunning clematis bloom is never amiss. 🩷
magenta - a magnificent color!
Thank God for Nature and
For Helen Keller and
For Lily Tomlin and, of course,
For Clara❣️
I love both of those quotes!!
Love the quotes. We truly do need balance. But sometimes the pendulum swings one way or the other just to get our attention.

I like "soul stamina"!

The power and determination to survive despite what may come. Thought the quotes were both appropriate.
A bit of both indeed.
Great quotes 🥵🥵🥵
Those quotes, perfect cognitive dissonance.

It's a tightrope act, isn't it?
I’d love to be A Helen these days but the reality is I am Lily!
Such a vivid shade of pink in the face of heat and reality! See a flower! And as Sue says, onward!
Two amazing quotes by 2 amazing women ! Thank you !
Thanks for a couple of great quotes!!!!
Sadly, Lily Tomlin's quote is so appropriate these days. Thank you for reminding us of her, Clara.
