The oleander tree/bush we have is blooming and blooming.
I like the way they look at night.
It's interesting to me........
the tree/bush is used in this area a lot for landscaping and to
line city streets.  
Some of them do well, bloom, grow and get very large.
Some wither, dry up, die.
Since trees don't have a soul, thoughts or a heart,
they don't reject water and sunlight.
They don't say NO to the things that will help them grow.
It just happens.
But as Christians we can say NO.
We have a choice, a will.
Our heart can lead us astray.
We can choose paths that make us wilt as Christians.

Proverbs 4:26

Ponder the path of thy feet, and let all thy ways be established.

We DO have choices, don't we?!

Do oleander blossoms have a pleasant (sweet) scent?

As far as I know, they do not smell pretty. They just LOOK pretty! Parts of it are poisonous, too.

Wilt ... is the perfect description for taking the wrong path....I have to say I admire your ability to photograph flowers...they are absolutely beautiful.

this and that

So, I get up this morning, and the rag-rug fairy tied all my rag-rug pieces together and had them wound in a nice ball.  I think I will leave more out tonight and see if it can happen again. OK.  I like Ross now.  These shoes were $1.49.  Purple velvet DUCK SHOES.  IN MY SIZE.  My plans are to go into that store every time I get groceries from now on.  Can't beat $1.49 for some of the neatest shoes in the world. I have seen this in a couple of places on blogs and the internet in general.  I was fully planning on ordering one....but our Kroger store had them for $12 something.  We've made 6 or 7 cups of coffee with this in our K-pot....and I am tickled to have it. I can now buy fun kinds of ground coffee.....not to say that Wal-Mart store brand decaff is a fun brand, but it's what I always used to drink.  And I lived. These are useful, not beautiful.  I need useful when I garden.  I bought some very low cost sni...
