Sundays In My City


Unknown Mami

it's sunny in San Francisco


I bet most of us need a little
sunshine on our shoulders today

it's just too damn cold and snowy

I'm already longing for spring


this is what Sundays look like in my backyard
in June and July









the seed catalogues are starting to arrive
I can feel the sun on my shoulders
and the dirt in my hands

the days are getting longer

  1. Yes. The chickens go to be a few minutes later each day. A concrete and powerful reminder that despite the cold and the short days, the warmth and long days will be coming back soon.
    Your yard is beautiful, dear. Just beautiful. It is waiting to be beautiful again.

  8. Wow, I really needed to see sunshine and pretty posies! We left before sunrise for a volleyball tourney, watching the outdoor temp dip to 15 below, and sat in a cold, drafty warehouse full of volleyball nets for 8 hours, my feet feel like ice chunks, so thank you, thank you, thank you!

  9. The second photo down......white and purpleish, what are those? Those were growing in the back yard of our new house when we moved in but there were TONS of bees in them....and with the kids I was afraid of one of them getting stung so had Kevin use the weedeater to chop them all down. They are BEAUTIFUL........but, I just didn't want to worry about the kids getting stung.

    I want to dig up that area (it's about 10feet by 3 feet) and plant a vegetable garden.......I can't wait to get out there and plant some sugar snap peas, green beans, and grape tomatoes!!!

  10. Such glorious flowers, Michelle. The colours are so bright and vibrant. I have a small courtyard off my apartment and so there is not much dirt to grow as much as you have here. You seem to have such beautiful nooks and crannies. And not much snow like the other places in North American seem to have at the moment. Here in Australia we do not get much snow at all.

    Thank you and take care.

  14. you have an open invite here, where the sun alway shines!
    I have to say that I miss the cold and changing seasons...BUT....this weekend the kids went to lake Arrowhead to play in the SNOW for the first time, and packing four kids for COLD weather is a pain in the ass!!! Throwing a towel some sunblock and flip flops in a straw bag is WAAAAYYYYYYY easier!!!

  15. Oh baby, your sparkin' my OCFD (obsessive compulsive flower disorder) and it's too darn cold here on the Ozarks Ponderosa to even think of my acre of gardens. It was -10 here Sunday morn'. We loaded cattle out this morning at twelve degrees! Burrrrr.

    Your flowers are just breathtakingly beautiful! I'm so glad I popped over to enjoy them. Ya'll have a wonderfully blessed day!!!

so... wadaya think?

Your fairy is called Columbine Icedancer
She is a bone chilling bringer of justice for the vulnerable.
She lives in mushroom fields and quiet meadows.
She is only seen when the bees swarm and the crickets chirrup.
She wears lilac and purple like columbine flowers. She has icy blue butterfly wings.
