Sir, My Clock Melted and My Cat Ate My Calendar

Blooming pink peonies in a corner of the backyard garden of our previous house

“Nobody sees a flower really; it is so small.
We haven’t time, and to see takes time
- like to have a friend takes time.”

- Georgia O’Keeffe

Bad things can happen when I’m swimming far deep inside my mind. Too wrapped up in my thoughts and life that I forgot an important event marked on my calendar. Technically, I’ve been remembering it for the last 2 weeks. Umm, I just forgot to remember it on the day that it actually mattered. Actually, I did remember the day… I just didn’t realize that it was today because I wasn’t aware that it was the 16th today. Cripes, I’ve apparently lost track of time. Time does not exist in my ocean.

Hi. Ooops, I’m so very sorry. :)

Adieu,

P.S. Oh, that photo - some blooming pink peonies and foliage in a corner of the backyard garden of our previous house several years ago. We hauled the boy-turtle fountain (ooof, heavy) with us when we moved to our current house. I enjoy our current backyard garden in the summer - a lovely resting spot for the weary soul and mind. A few times, I’ve even lugged my laptop back there to get some work done… which, of course wasn’t a very good idea because I hardly got *any* work done. Heh.

    Dadaist melting clocks and decaying brain cells. Hey, I’d forgive you although there’s probably a special level of Hell for people who forget stuff like that.

    You would need to give me lots and lots and lots of flowers and throw in that boy-turtle fountain before I would forgive you. :lol: Just kidding.

    Well, it depends on the nature of the faux pas, hmmm? I’d forgive you, only after I had cursed you for ALL ETERNITY. :twisted:

    Awww, what’s the important event that was forgotten? I wanna know… lol. Hopefully, you’ll remember, and that garden looks pretty.

    Whoa… you wrote a blog for the event on the 16th? LOL… it’s cool! :mrgreen:

    Nice garden too, btw. Maybe one day I’ll come by to your current garden and take some pics… :wink:

    And maybe you need to feed Max with MORE food… so he doesn’t eat anymore of your stuff… haha. :twisted:
