It's funny... I also have bumping around in my head the topic of taking time, giving time, not acting on first observations... and it also relates to a dead bush (hibiscus in my case). Or so we thought.

Will I write it? I don't know. June is turning out to be a weird month for me.

Hope you're feeling better. Lots of 🤎🤎

Yes, weird month here as well! Even though, we are separated by an ocean, we seem to have some parallel connections. Your kiln broke, my cooler broke. Dead tree, dead bush. Weird and weird.😋😂 I’m feeling better. Thanks!

I have news!! My hibiscus is not dead after all, it was just taking its time! And, it turns out, so have I - so much so I decided to write about it ;)

June was seriously a weird month though and to be honest it's my least favourite month, as I dislike letting go of Spring... Luckily, tomorrow is July! 😁

Oh do take care. Rest.

Dragonflies love to perch high up, so they can see their prey. So the Magnolia was the perfect place to perch! I love dragonflies! My favorite insect! Beautiful picture!
