I really don't have
anything much to talk about this week.
I still have two sessions left
of physical therapy for my back,
it really feels
much better than it did at the beginning, and
I don't want to push the envelope
of the dreaded virus too far,
so have decided to hold them over
in case I need to go back
for a tune up.
With nothing new to talk about,
I will just let
the flowers do the talking.
The language of flowers
is universal
so they will say to you
what you like.
As I write this post,
I am heartsick.
Words really can't express
what I am feeling now.
There is something really unforeseen
happening within our family now
that I will talk about
sometime later.
Until then
I hope you will understand
that I am using the language of flowers
to tell you all how much
I care, until my words can do the job.
I don't mean to be maudlin or dramatic.
It is just too soon
for me
to share my feelings.
Stay smart,
stay well and
wear your masks.
...Judy...
A dear friend
mentioned that
the black color background
made her feel a little sad.
The funny thing is
that while I was preparing this post,
before I read her comment,
I was thinking that I would change it.
It is the right thing for me now.
Thank you, dear friend.

I didn't think about sad on the background but I do like this lighter color. It looks great! And I adore the photos of the flowers. Beautiful photography work!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jeanie. I just didn't feel right with the black now. Flowers speak volumns, don't they? Stay well..xxoJudy
DeleteI am sorry for things happening in your family that make you sad. When this happens in life, we wonder "why"??? Your flowers speak well to try to keep you/us cheered up as much as possible. I agree.. I think I do like this white background better. The black is kind of mysterious and maybe good for winter or Halloween?? Best wishes and blessings coming your way from me! Marilyn
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Marilyn. I'm glad you enjoyed the flowers..Stay well..xxoJudy
DeleteDear Judy ~ your flower photos are wonderful!! What camera are you using?
ReplyDeleteThe black backgrounds are hard for me to read so I'm glad you've chosen a light background.
I'm sorry for the upsetting family issues you are having to deal with right now. Write us again when you feel you can. Love, hugs and prayers ~ FlowerLady
Thanks so much, Lorraine, for your encouraging words. My camera is a Canon SX530. I use Picasa for editing. I know there is editing on the new blogger, but I like what I use on Picasa. I do click on the photo after it is on the post and click on the little pencil and you can change the size of your photos. I use Original size. I like the bigness of them.. I'm sorry you couldn't read the black background. It is so pretty on another blog that I saw, but the timing is not right for me now. I do like the white and have changed many times to different backgrounds but always seem to come back, so guess this is it..Stay well..xxoJudy
DeleteWhat a beautiful display of your flower photos which are very spirit lifting. I hope your family problem will find healing.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Terra. I love taking photos of flowers and I'm glad they lifted your spirits. Time heals all things..Stay well..xxoJudy
DeleteBeautiful flowers 😊
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Martyna. I am glad you liked them. Flowers do speak loudly..Stay well..xxoJudy
DeleteBeautiful flowers and glad to hear your back is doing better. Happy New Week.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Kris
Thanks so much, Kris. I'm glad you like the flowers. I enjoy taking the photos. My back is not perfect, but I have decided to do what I can, and when it acts up, just sitting in a chair for awhile and it is better, then I go again, until the next time. It dosen't feel like the most important problem now..Stay well..xxoJudy
DeleteYour flower shots are gorgeous, I hope they bring you a bit of joy during your difficult time, I know I enjoy all the beauty I can gather. I hope everyone stays safe, the Jones fire is heartbreakingly close, will be nice to leave triple digits and the freak lightening strikes with devastating consequences, rain cannot come soon enough for me now, I want fires to be a very distant memory.
ReplyDeleteOh, my goodness, you are so right. The sun was a big ball of red this morning and we lost power. This is almost too much now, with the virus, etc. I'm glad you liked the flowers. I always want to have pics accompanying my posts and flowers seem to be the best subject..Stay well..xxoJudy
DeleteHello, dear Judy, thank you for sharing all the beautiful flowers. I am glad that your back is feeling better. I'm so very sorry that your family is going through a difficult time right now. Sending you a big hug. xo Karen
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Karen. I thought the flowers were pretty and I love taking photos of them. My back is not perfect but when it acts up I just have to remember to stop, rest and do a few excersises and I'm good to go again. Stay well, my friend..xxoJudy
DeletePrayers for the difficult times happening in your family. God bless our country ! Take care of your back. Charlotte in Va.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Charlotte. It is very good to hear from you. Hope you are well. I appreciate your kind words and thoughts..Stay well..xxoJudy
DeleteCongratulations it looks like you have mastered the New Blogger format. I a impressed. I haven't even tried it yet, seems like there is so much to handle right now that I have not been in the mood to attempt it.
ReplyDeleteI hope that whatever you are dealing with will be solved soon, we don't need extra worries right now. Take care, I will be thinking of you.
Thanks so much, Adrienne. I appreciate your kindness. I have tried the new blogger, but I couldn't figure out how to change the backgrounds so went back to the old one. When that one goes, I guess I will be stuck where I am. I did find it pretty easy to do just the basics though. I know you could figure it out..Stay well..xxoJudy
DeleteDear Judy, Firstly I'm sorry about your back and lifting up prayers right now for a speedy and complete healing. Having had a back injury years ago and sciatica, I well understand how slow the process is. Thank you for sharing the beauty of your flowers with us. May peace fill you during this time.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Noreen
Thanks so much, Noreen. Hope you are well. I have had sciatica in the past also, and I certainly don't want that again. My back is different this time, hurting but not to that extent. I love taking photos of flowers and including them in my posts. They seem to speak for themselves. Stay well.xxoJudy
DeleteJudy,

DeleteEveryone knows someone who is unwell for one reason or other, some might just feel under the weather whilst others are critical. University research has proved that plants and flowers create a positive impact on our mental and emotional health particularly by lifting anxiety and depression when flowers are put in the room. It's also been shown that when a basket of flowers or plants are present patients have needed less pain medication had lower blood pressure in addition to their recovery was noticeably quicker. Give it that personal touch and order flowers online today to let them know you are thinking of them. Flori in Cluj Napoca
ReplyDeleteNormally I would delete a comment such as this, as this is not a place I use to do business, but your words make sense and I agree that flowers do all these things, so I am letting it stand.
DeleteFlowers are the way of refreshment and happiness. You present beautiful flowers.

ReplyDeleteThe Language of Flowers is a modern-day fairy tale about a girl who wants to find the perfect present for her lover. The Language of Flowers tells the story of Lottie, a girl who lives in the small town of Bluebell, Alabama. Lottie spends her days working at the flower shop and dreaming of the life she could have if she left the sleepy town. When Lottie's father dies, she finds herself alone and with no real direction. One day, she receives a letter from her long-lost aunt who left her a house in New York City and a journal that she was supposed to write in every day. The letter tells Lottie that she must find a flower that speaks to her and be careful of the people who might be following her. After spending some time in New York City, Lottie finds herself back in Bluebell and with a new perspective on life. Book Writing Company
