Wow! That certainly IS something unusual to wake up too.
Pick up truck covered in mud, flying around with the antenna swaying....you just described half of the folks that live out in the county around me. LOL ! Yep, I live in good-old-boy country....or as others like to call them, rednecks. I don't know what that word originates from. Now I will have to go see what Google's description says. It might mean a little something different from place to place.
Love the photo of the pink striped and splattered Zinnia. The other photos are beautiful too, but I don't think I know what kind of flower the purple one is.
It's good to see a post from you. When I responded to your comments, it was around 2 am, so I decided to wait and come read the post till morning. That would give me something to look forward too. I got up because there was a message from the store that will soon be delivering my groceries and in case I needed to respond, I reluctantly got up. I did the normal "just got up" things after checking my phone and came in here to read.... but before I could start, I thought, maybe I'll put on my coffee first and have some sips while reading.... so I jumped up and went to the kitchen and started that. While there, I saw the dishwasher hanging open with clean dishes in it and part of me said, put those up real quick so it will be ready to refill. Another part of me shouted NO! I'M NOT GOING TO DO IT NOW! ....and then I did it. LOL.... Good Lawd! I thought I was never going to make it back.... and yet, here I am....finally!
That is a very good question - what is the origin of "redneck?" Is it because country folk are more likely to be sun burned? Compared to the average tourist in my "neck" of the woods, I'd say that does not hold true.
The purple one is what the word "ecstasy" would look like if it was a flower. Conveniently, it is called a passion flower. Passion doesn't cover it though - that beauty if pure ecstasy.
There is something so satisfying about routine. Let that routine pull you, I can wait. :)
I think you are right about the poor country folks that had to work in the sun, farmers and the such. I believe it was meant as a slur, but now these good old boys wear it like a badge of honor! Ha...
Ohhh.... passion flower. It is quite a beautiful thing.
Yes... routine, especially for the essentials is nice.,,,especially when you get older. :)
