Fri-Sat Blend & Glow

 #DailyFlowers

 This week has been mad, power went bonkers on Monday, networks took time to stabilize and be fully up and of course, work and everything else took a hit. 

Yesterday, the resident mad-hatter did important papers all a-scatter; time went in identifying and then putting in folders

Who started yesterday off, sorry no clue...but there were plenty of beautiful hues

Shalini mentioned "raat ke humsafar", #abundance  in #DailyFlowers
Happy #fridaymorning
and shared this

A profusion of delicate pink blooms
Like cotton candy forming a light costume
The greens are a loud counter
Make merry of this encounter

And today, she decided to up it one more: Rina creates magic with her hand-painted flowers...I borrow them today for #DailyFlowers ...

Flowers hand-painted, decoupaged or whatever are still flowers*
To brighten a room, do not underestimate their powers
Full many an empty bottle has been beautified
Given a new lease of life, the conversion leaves us stupefied
*Pun intended


Of course, Vivek will not let any chance pass by, hence the Raat ka humsafar brought forth: The words reminded me of one of my favorite songs from the movie “Evening in Paris”. Had to control the urge to post it on here.
Back to flowers; these potted bougainvillea got my attention. Good morning

 Bougainvilleas seem to have come back
Full many a share today is from that stack
But then flowers they are glorious
In their fluidity, grace and colors, victorious

He had pink in Bougainvilleas, he has pink today
But this time it is the Missus' shoulder in play
On it perched Nature's delicate creature divine
While missus was busy capturing more flitting around the vine 

(Oh and he did promise a bottle of Sula's Shiraz wine
To the fastest finger that made it to the head of the line!
Mala, pls ensure you get it!)

Shashi brought in a lovely combination: #DailyFlowers Making mailboxes magical. Happy Friday! Love the Nukkad type community and conversations. @Kirti  may have to use AI to create poems with such great contributions 

Flowers?! They look like chillies, fiery yellow n red
Where's the mailbox around which all conversation flowed & ebbed
Looks like Shashi's taking me for a ride
Excuse Me!!!!
My words, limericks n rhymes, we such enjoyment provide!
Oh and he did kind of promise to write a book titled "Chillies & Mailboxes", am waiting!

He continued the red and yellow theme today also: #DailyFlowers from home
Yellow, red and pink
These colors make me deeply think
Of matters heavy and light
With fondness for all things smart and bright
 

Sai came in with a glowing beauty

Fuchsia outside with a shimmery white center
A gorgeous bell like flower which invites you to enter
Sit, tarry a while, take a break
While you listen to its music and in time your head shake

A beauty from the backyard by Vishnu

Oooh! I so love these yellows
They are such gorgeous fellows
Mimicking and competing with the sun
They make the day brighter and even more fun! 

My cousin sent in these rich gems
Delicately balanced on slender stems
The tree holds them with love and pride
While they mimic the pink blush of a bride

Shalini, Vivek, Shashi, Sai, Vishnu & Rachna
