Taking time to smell the flowers

9 years ago

May you take time to smell the flowers!

Maggie reminds me daily of the simple pleasures in life. Whether it is taking time to smell the plumeria and pikake, or enjoy the sun on my face.

I can't sneak anything into the garden without her noticing. If she could talk, would she tell my DH what I snuck in when no one was looking/smelling? Somehow I think she is on my side! Love her to pieces!

Dogs are precious! :-)

Cute pup! I think your secret is safe with the dog. They are very loyal creatures. Unless of course your DH offers more treats and or tennis balls. LOL

Maggie looks like the perfect gardening buddy! She's beautiful! My animals and plants remind me to stop and enjoy things, they are the best- pure happiness!

One of my (3) dogs likes to "run backwards" and not look where she's going, and also has about a 14" tail so she can be very clumsy! Luckily the other 2 aren't so bull-in-a-china-shop like. They are good at keeping my new acquisitions quiet too! HAHA!

Well, being a Grand Duke explains Maggie's interest :) If I bring just one nice big one into the kitchen it smells up the entire room!

I wish Plumeria had that intensity, especially given some of the unique scents that they have.
