I'm Like a Wildflower

More like crazy wild busy and sheer pleasure. I've been popping by to catch up on notifications towards the end of the day, but exhaustion wins every time. With our son's wedding a little over a week away, I have been extremely busy. *Seating arrangements are done. *Some items for the hospitality baskets have been purchased. *The menu for the day after the wedding brunch has been chosen with care. *I still have to let out of town guests and some in town friends know about the brunch. In between I am walking, having lunches with friends, and even have my annual eye appointment scheduled for tomorrow. Once this week is finalized, I have a week of beauty planned before the wedding and time to relax. I just wanted to let you know why you haven't seen much of me. Btw, the seamstress did a magnificent job on my future daughter-in-law's bridal gown. It fits her perfectly! It's true that you get what you pay for. ~Photo is of a weed I plucked from the woods~

With your busy week and upcoming busier one- I'm surprised you had time to walk in the woods---ha! But you rescued that poor flower for awhile anyway. You're doing wonderfully on your 'to-do' list.

Thanks and that cat likes his walk 4 to 5 times a day. I thought I had pulled every single weed by now. I should be working on my list right now, but I'm too exhausted!!!

It would be funny if sometime during that wedding party, you would suddenly think of mylot members and the notifications you have. By the way, what is that flower? It looks very dainty and elegant somehow.

@DianneN Any scent at all? I know something similar, but not with the yellow part in the middle. Beautiful smell, almost like jasmine. They call it weeds here. Big tree - and no one could control them from popping up everywhere. Just found its name, orange jasmine. I love it. We had one in the back but my husband hates it, so he removed it.

@NJChicaa I'm glad you had what made you happy. My son never wanted a large wedding, but blame it on her huge family and all my friends. He's more looking forward to the honeymoon. lol

@DianneN I'm sure it will be the event of the season! I'm glad that I didn't have a super-big event. Not my style at all. A beach wedding for a beach bum and then a reception for 100 back when we got home was much more fitting!

I'm singing the same song, too! You are right about the gown. She had four fittings. I only needed one.. At least hers will fit her properly on her wedding day and look great as every bride should. I can't wait to put my gown on. I love hers and mine!
