This Perfectly Imperfect Life

It's late July in my garden, and the Coneflowers are blooming away! I can't get enough of taking photos of them, every day, at different times of day, in different light. There aren't as many of them this year, so I'll have to be sure to save seeds and get them planted for next. Soon, the Zinnias will be blooming, and as the coneflowers wane, my focus will switch to them, and their colorful, happy faces. The late Summer and Autumn garden has always been my favorite! What's blooming in your garden now? #dirttherapy #summertime #gardenwalk #julygarden #summergarden #apartmentgarden #coastalgarden #inmygardentoday #simplepleasuresgreatestjoy #myperfectlyimperfectview #thisperfectlyimperfectlife 

This has been my view most of today, aside from the insides of my eyelids 😴 But, better to have a full on spoonie day during a rainy day than a nice one! At least it's cool enough to have the windows open for fresh air, and that way I can listen to the rain too.  #silverlinings #spoonie #spoonielife #rawarrior #rainyday #mondaymonday #reading #booknerd #bookworm #bookstagram #summerreads #knitting #yarnlove #yarnporn #simplepleasuresgreatestjoy #myperfectlyimperfectview #thisperfectlyimperfectlife

I did not want to take a quick ride. 🙄 It's disgustingly hot & humid out and I've got a cold. 🤧 I felt less than enthusiastic about leaving the house, to say the least. 😬 Then, coming back over the bridge, this happened. 😍🙌🏻 That's a #nofilterneeded #thisismynj #sunset if there ever was one!  💙   #coastalsummer #coastalliving #overtheriver #summer #july  #simplepleasuresgreatestjoy #myperfectlyimperfectview #thisperfectlyimperfectlife  

Beautiful earlier this morning in the yard despite the thick July air. Everything's watered for the day, and I've just finished up nearly an hour's worth of paperwork for today's appointment with the urologist for the last of my (kidney related) test results. 🤤 Now it's time to distract myself for the next four hours until the appointment! 🙄🙈🙏🏻  #goodmorning #morningmotivation #tinyyard #summer #july #nofilter #spoonie #rawarrior #rheumykidneys #myperfectlyimperfectview #thisperfectlyimperfectlife
