Plodding Onward - Lotus Flowers

 I feel as though I didn't get a lot done today, but I didn't seem to have a lot of free time! I did the food shop, something I hate doing. It was quite expensive. I did pick up a couple of extra items that weren't on my list (I actually did write one!). It was because they were on sale, and I will incorporate them into next week's menu. I've been doing really well keeping the refrigerator freezer clear and free. I've been doing well with keeping the fridge sorted too. 

I did write a list for me to do tomorrow. Seems silly sometimes writing it all down, but I have a memory like a sieve, and I easily get distracted. Having things written down, however little they are, seems to keep me on track. 

It's supposed to be quite hot and humid tomorrow. I shall do a quick walk (the bonus of not walking with someone is that I can get out early and back quickly!) and then come home and do The List. 

A little bit more from our weekend away - 

While we were walking the trail a lady stopped to talk to us and tell us about the Lotus Flowers that Monroe, Michigan is known for. We hadn't heard this! She let us know where to find them on the trail. The video and photos don't do the flowers justice. They were beautiful. Both husband and I were just amazed how lovely it was. 





A few of my camera photos. 










Hopefully back tomorrow

  1. I go for little lists too - they really help and it feels great to cross things off. xx

  2. Oh, those lotus flowers are so pretty! Lotus is one of my favorite flowers and it holds a special significance in my religion.
    Well done picking up the sale specials to incorporate into next week's meal plan! Everything is so expensive these days, isn't it?

    1. Oh that's interesting. I shall have to look it up. They are beautiful.

      Things seem to be going up every time I go to the store, though the price of eggs does seem to have come down thank goodness!

  3. I write a To-Do list at the beginning of every week...it helps me manage my anxiety, serves as an aide-memoire (which I really need!) and also helps with my procrastination - if it's on the list I have to do it!

    1. It certainly helps. I procrastinate too much, get ultra-focused on something and all else seems to be forgotten, so I find they help keep me on track.

  4. You call the blooms lotus flowers, the common name is water lilies.

    1. Actually they are different from water lilies. There were those in the pond too. They are different flowers.
