Sunday Selections was originally brought to us by Kim, of Frogpondsrock, as an ongoing meme where participants could post previously unused photos languishing in their files. Huge thanks to Cie who gave me this wonderful Sunday Selections image.
The meme was then continued by River at Drifting through life.
Sadly she has now stepped aside (though she will join us some weeks),
and I have accepted the mantle.
The
rules are so simple as to be almost non-existent. Post some photos
under the title Sunday Selections and link back to me. Sorry I still
haven't succeeded in working out how to do a blog hop. Clicking on any of the photos will make them embiggen.
I
usually run with a theme. I am still in recovery mode. Sadly I am also a slow learner and frequently do too much. Not many photos this week - but one of the bunches of flowers I was given has highlights that tie in nicely with Charlotte (MotherOwl)'s colour of the month. The colour for July is"Writing Pleasure Purple"
Complete with photo bomber.
And another bunch (I am so lucky).
My doctor's visit for Tuesday has been moved to Wednesday when I will find out what the prognosis is and whether chemotherapy/radiation are part of my future.
I hope you find beauty and joy in your week as I will in mine.
Hi EC - yes starting to recover does take time ... so glad you're realising it. Love the flowers - well deserved I'm sure ... I'd send you some if it wasn't quite so far?! Eastbourne to Canberra?! I'll be thinking of you this week - especially Wednesday ... at least it's still this week. That photo-bomber is always welcome ... I wonder what they thought, smelt etc etc ... Your flowers match Writing Pleasure Purple very appropriately ... rest up - orders from all of us ... I'm sure - cheers Hilary
ReplyDeleteHilary Melton-Butcher: The photo bomber adores bunches of flowers and has to be forcibly dissauded from chewing on them. I am resting. Really I am.
DeleteThose flowers are so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteSandi: Aren't they lovely?
DeleteLaura Eno - I suspect your middle name is stubborn. ;-) It’s wonderful to see you and your flowers are gorgeous! The photo bomber is due his right to be the center of attention and admiration.
ReplyDeleteLove and hugs to you. I hope you rest today… as in actually rest…
Laura Eno: My father told me I was more stubborn that stains. He may have had a point. The photo bomber/aka flower chewer is good at claiming prime position.
DeleteFlowers aid recovery in my opinion.
ReplyDeleteShammickite: No argument from me.
DeleteGorgeous bouquets !!
ReplyDeleteHope you find joy and beauty as well.
Thank you.
contempladoraocidental: Thank you.
DeleteThe flowers are so nice. The photo bomber clearly finds them quite fascinating.
ReplyDeleteAndrew: He does. And delicious.
DeleteOh gosh, I hope you don't have to have chemo and radiation. I'm glad you've had the surgery already and your purples are beautiful including the non purple interloper.
ReplyDeleteStrayer: I will find out next week. Sadly I fear it is likely. The interloper is a beauty isn't he?
DeletePrayers you need neither!
ReplyDeleteSome unusual colors in those flowers.
Alex J. Cavanaugh: Thank you.
DeleteThe flowers are beautiful. Wish you all the best
ReplyDeleteroentare: And thank you to you too.
DeleteI thought you were holding someone's head in the first picture.
ReplyDeleteMike: I suppose I was. Odie's head. And the rest of his curious little body.
DeleteOdie is such a cute photo bomber! The bouquets are lovely, and I hope they'll help to keep your spirits up while you wait for Wednesday. Still crossing my fingers for you! :-)
ReplyDeleteDiane Henders: Odie enjoys photo bombing and does it with panache. Keep crossing.
DeleteBeautiful flowers and photo bomber too, hello Odie. Fingers crossed for no chemo or radiation.
ReplyDeleteRiver: Odie really likes flowers. Drat him. I hope for no chemo/radiation but won't be surprised.
DeleteGorgeous flowers EC. Always lovely to see them.
ReplyDeleteGood luck on Wednesday. Thinking of you..
I can't tell you how glad I was to see your comment on my post, and to see a return of Sunday Selections. I join the many others tossing hopeful thoughts your way.
ReplyDeleteDear EC
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flowers to bring some colour and joy to you (and us). I hope you manage to keep that pesky(but lovely) photo bomber away from them! I wish you all the best for your appointment and will be thinking about you.
Best wishes
Ellie
Bless you my dear friend. I am praying that you will have an easy prognosis. Thank you so much kindness! Aloha!
ReplyDeleteContinue getting lots of rest, Sue, and enjoy all those flowers. Fingers crossed for good news in the upcoming appointments. Hugs - David
ReplyDeleteThank you for the update and look forward to finding out what's in your immdiate future. Love and hugs.
ReplyDeletePreciós el ram, no m'estranya que Odie volgués fer-s'ho seu. ;-)
ReplyDeleteTotes les decisions seran pel teu bé, confio que sigui així.
Aferradetes, Sue.
I'm glad you're feeling good enough to check in with us. I am hoping you get good news when you see the doctor next.
ReplyDeleteThose are beautiful bouquets. And a beautiful cat :)
ReplyDeleteOur cats were always fascinated with house plants and cut flowers, but some were so persistent I gave up on having any in the house. One in particular even chewed an arrangement of fake (plastic) plants. Sigh.
I'm glad you are improving despite your inclination to do too much! I am hoping very hard that you do not need further treatment; however, if you do, it is best that you are mentally prepared for it, which you seem to be (as much as one can be). My best to you, with hugs. xx
Beautiful flowers, thanks for using my colour. I hope all the best for you and send prayers over the waters from faraway Denmark - hope they reach you in time!
ReplyDelete"Your flower arrangements are fantastic. I hope everything goes well and the doctors decide what is best for you. Many times, chemotherapy and radiation are suitable, so let whatever is best for your health journey happen. My husband and I have been through this, and he has undergone chemotherapy and radiation many times. It is a painful but necessary process!
ReplyDeleteYour flowers are beautiful, and your photo-bomber is very cute.
ReplyDeleteMay your Doctors appointment on Wednesday go well.
Sending lots of good wishes across the miles.
All the best Jan
Truly gorgeous flowers, including the furry one with ears. Wherever your health journey takes you I hope you are surrounded with wonderful people and that your recovery is full and speedy.
ReplyDeleteOdie seems to enjoy your blooms as much as you do. I do hope the doctor has good to report on your visit. All the best.
ReplyDeleteHoping for the best possible news, EC. Take it easy meanwhile.
ReplyDeleteDelightful blooms! I pray you continue to feel better and hope for no further treatment needed.
ReplyDeleteLovely flowers, and a very pretty flower combination. Wising you nothing but goodness and good news.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous blooms, they must make you smile every time you look at them. I know I did when I saw them all 😊
ReplyDeleteFingers and toes crossed for Wednesday.

That purple rose is quite unique, to me at least. I hope the prognosis is a good one and that you won't have to undergo chemo. Radiation might not be as bad. Best wishes to you.
