Vibrant Drums, Flowers do Thrum!

  #DailyFlowers

This month of January is very strange, it is wandering all over the grange. One day it is hot and humid, the other it is breezy and nippy. Seems the weather can't make up its mind. And there's work, which can't make up its mind either. Does it want to amble in or race in. I wish they would make up their minds. But in the midst of all these not-made-up-my-mind-types, there are some sureties... flowers, glorious flowers, songs of hope, colors dazzling ....

And then there is Shashi, who gathers together flowers that symbolize hope along with the hope stones that his neighbors decorate their mailboxes with: Back to work meaning strangers putting hopeful messages in their mailboxes with painted flowers; #DailyFlowers Yay! It's Thursday & #DailyFlowers cherishing the flowers that I can see

Stones and flowers of hope
Nature extends a beautiful scope
As the world and people slowly emerge
Covid vaccines, the new year, new beginnings converge
Full many a thought is yet to fully bloom
We are totally ready and willing to get off Zoom!

The others are not far behind, Sai as is his wont brought forth A star burst of colors for #dailyflowers & A Rose a day

Star shaped bunches along with roses deep pink
The two of Nature's bounty do deeply drink
The bougainvillea, a plant that is hardy
Lovely roses that are never tardy
Together they come to bring forth smiles
Vibrant and beautiful they go miles

Shalini's Mum's mums still going strong. Day 12 and counting :) & Vivek with ‘Mum’s’ the word. Amazing longevity. Different flower but almost matching today’s colour theme. Home grown rose.  Good morning

Over 12 days ago, Shalini was given Mums by her Dad and Mum
Lovely yellows they have us marching to their drum
And then there was Vivek with dazzling roses yellow
From across the country they sing a cheery Hello!

A field of mustard flowers... forgot to click a picture without us in the frame and now you have to pay the price for that! Borrowed plumage for today!  Meenakshi Mehta was kind enough to share these beauties from her balcony. Hope this brings some cheer on this cold morning

Borrowed flowers and mustard fields
Blossoms brilliant orange and plentiful yellow yields
You would think they would not mesh
But each in its place brings forth feelings fresh
Friends don't mind sharing and the couple is quite daring
Deep & light oranges against the railing,  duo with harvest a-trailing

Borrowed pic here too. Thank mother Nature, one can borrow all we want without fear of being declared NPA. A cousin of the flower I posted yesterday! Good morning

Vìvek still roamed the neighborhood borrowing flowers
But then they have such strong powers
And then he found a flower smug alongside a baby bud
That little bud would have made an amazing nose stud

Can anything be nicer that dewdrops on a flower
Droplets of water that their love do shower
On petals that hold them lovingly and fast
Loath to let go even as the sun's rays march past

Purples make their presence felt
Beautiful shades to make hearts melt
From deep to light, to gentle mauve
These blooms are sturdy and suave
