Nothing grand or fancy,
Not even a bright blue sky.
Just simple things I passed,
That happened to catch my eye.
Like Ivy and Geraniums ...
And Mockingbirds at rest ...
Pretty Purple Crapes,
Atop a downtown crest.
I love these bright Blue Flowers,
Whose name I do not know.
And these yellow Lilies ...
that beckoned me to slow.
Although I didn't find Magnolias, I really didn't mind,
Because I found sweet lagniappe ... of the very best kind.
May your weekend be filled with lagniappe as sweet!

Lovely Lagniappe today!
The blue flower looks like an Agapanthas - Lily of the Nile. It is so pretty with the orange day lilies.
Looking forward to Magnolia blooms.

How lovely an oasis of calm and color in this scurry of a morning!!
Just what I needed when I finally got a moment to sit here and look.
Thank you,
I love ivy, one of my favorite things in the garden. Is so fun to pick and use in the winter, especially at Christmas. Cut a big long hunk and hang on your door with a bright ribbon. Wonderful solution for a wreath. My garden is pretty burnt up. I have neglected it as it has been so hot. Thanks for stopping by. Richard at My Old Historic House. PS. I think we have the flood problem, pretty much under control. But, one never knows.
Everytime I come here to visit with you, I leave feeling refreshed. The views you capture with your camera and share with us are always so worthy. Loved the verse, too. Quite clever, you are!
Sorry, I haven't been around...I'll share more on my blog. Hope things are still going well with the new one. I can imagine sweet Avery is getting quite excited!
Aren't those geraniums and ivy so pretty together?
