Hello Lovely Fellows !
Hope Life is feeling proud to have you within :)
Sorry for last two little heavy posting if i bothered you with my spontaneous query or desire to share my opinions with you .
I had no intentions to bother anyone ,and if i did i am sorry!
Lets keep our talk light today , we have entered in 40 plus temps and May is on the door with terrible and unbearable heat with warm winds.
What is light in it?
Well we are breathing ,moving with health and all other blessings and most of all still in senses to REALIZE ALL THE PRECIOUSNESS AND BEAUTY OF LIFE HIDDEN IN PRESENT MOMENT :)
Lighter are seasonal fruits which don't upset my stomach and it seems as i will be relying on fruits and veggies in future more than any other diet .
Ah!!!......once upon a time i used to have 7 to 8 cups tea in a day ,now 3 hardly ,Ah...age...
thank god that my kids like muskmelon too,sweet and refreshing if use after storing in fridge for while
Sapota or chikoo local name ,deliciously sweet but my kids don't like ,just me and hubby
cucumber has not rich in taste yet i find it very good for metabolism
diet for my soul :) my son sent this one two days ago after his haircut ! He called us on Saturday and we had so much fun as he was cooking chicken with spinach while speaking with us and later he gave us virtual visit to Turkish general store from where he purchased bread and some grocery ,i felt sooo BETTER to be with him :)
Our climber is bursting with blooms and birds are loving her shelter
Our electricity was disappeared for more than 14 hours yesterday ,from 7 am to 10 :20 pm (night)
Hubby and i took advantage of this and read our favorite books ,i mean some pages of them as our eyes can't stand tiny texts for long .
I am crawling with "Away From Madding Crowed " by Thomas Hardy which i am loving so much ,
specially devoting to each description few pages is something we hardly find in new writings .This true pleasure of reading belong to only old type of literature.
Wishing you all a Blessed beautiful healthy life with positive outlook and undefeated spirit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love you All!!!
your climber is looking very pretty. I hope you don't have any more power cuts (cold showers, no cooking?) your son looks happy and relaxed. I like cucumber sliced in sandwiches of white bread with butter. We have very cold days here in the UK again, I planted tomatos and chillis in pots but they need to stay indoors for a while.
ReplyDeleteDear Betty the absence of electricity doesn't bother our cooking as our stoves work with natural gas instead of power
Deletehope weather support your plantations my friend!
Sorry to hear about that you need to watch what you eat. I also have developed stomach issues over the past few years. I also once drank lots of tea but had to cut back.
ReplyDeleteThose fruits look good. I also love watermelon.
No need to apologize about posts where you express your opinion. As you know, I do it all the time.
Have a great week!
dear brain i learnt my lessen (hopefully) that spicy ,oily food can make me suffer terribly so i think nothing can be harmless than fruits so i have decided to keep them more in my diet rather than grains
Deletethank you for supporting words !
sometimes i really forget that i write posts as being part of society which has different culture than your's
realizing this later made me feel that may be i said something which my foreigner friends will not understand through the our point of view
you do EXCELLENT work through your great book reviews ,indeed
Bonitas fotografias de frutas refrescantes. O seu filho está muito bem.
ReplyDeleteDesagradável, a falta de energia…
Uma boa semana.
Um beijo.
What nice summer fruits and veg! The only Thomas Hardy book I ever managed to get through was "Jude the Obscure." He is a hard read.
ReplyDeletethis is my first experience to red Thomas dear Debra
Deleteearlier i read the summery book of one of his novel which i can't remember the name right now but it was really wonderful novel (summery) brevity of the context made it appealing as poor reader who can't stand thin printed words in the books
i agree reading his work takes LOTS of time but once you enter in his world it is captivating :)
The fruit looks beautiful! I think we all would benefit from your diet. Your son is a handsome fella and I know how you miss him, I miss my son also and treasure our phone visits. Losing electricity really can upset things but it makes us slow down for a while lol, nothing like a good book to pass the time and escape into! Take care my friend, don’t worry about what you write, it’s from your heart and that’s a good thing.
ReplyDeleteYour fruit and veg look delicious!
ReplyDeleteI have that same tea cup.
ReplyDeleteDearest Baili, oh I do so hope your diet of fruit and veggies will help with your digestive problems. Stomach problems can be really distressing, I know that first hand...and am sending you positive and healing thoughts and prayers, my dear Friend!😊😊
ReplyDeleteThose melons look SO appetising! Makes me want to rush out to the local store and buy some!!
Oh please don't feel you need to apologise for expressing your thoughts and opinions. These are what make you who you are...and we all love you for that!😊
Your son has a cool haircut! He looks such a nice young man...I can see why you are so proud of him!
Sending you lots of love and hugs ❤❤❤
A couple of your fruits I don't recognize although the sapota looks a lot like kiwi fruit. I like the rest and watermelon is also my favorite. Any topic you wish to discuss is good for me. I enjoy your posts about your family and home and I like the ones that make me think.
ReplyDeleteBaili, the yellow rose tea cup is gorgeous. There are so many Yummy foods on here today. Your muskmelon looks like our cantaloupe here. My dad used to eat it all the time. How interesting for your son to visit the Turkish general store. I bet he found lots of goodies to take home. I'm glad he's doing well so far away from home.
ReplyDeleteWishing you wonderful May days, dear Baili.

I have never heard of sapota! What is it like? I looked online and it grows in Florida, so I bet we have it in some of our speciality stores. I am going to try it if I can find it.
ReplyDeleteWill your son move back to your city when he is done with school?
my likening for sapota started this almost one year back dear Sandi
Deletebefore that hubby used to love and bring them often in their season
they have slightly different sweetness ,taste feel good after swallowing it
this is summer fruit and lasts for 3 months i think .
through net i know now that mostly all part of lands have different fruits ,still some of them can be found commonly everywhere like banana or watermelon
My Son's studies will end in January 2020 probably and then he will be back hopefully ,that is what we know until now
God knows better for the future though
That is a pretty climber, I too like cucumber in hot weather and watermelon.
ReplyDeleteMerle.........
You know, Baili, that you never need to worry about expressing yourself honestly because fellow bloggers who read your posts understand. Everyone has good and "bad" days and venting is helpful many times. I appreciate your directness. Like yourself, I enjoy tea but rarely have more than 1 cup in a day and the same with coffee. The power outage didn't prove bothersome for you as it gave you and your husband time to enjoy reading, so good for you both. I have never read anything of Thomas Hardy myself.
ReplyDeleteI drink tea quite often.
ReplyDeleteAnd all kinds.
Black tea less and less.
Tea, gosh. Once drank many cups a day but now usually only one, so drink water.
ReplyDeleteLove all the fruit there in your photos and your sons haircut does look good.
If we didn't care what you thought, we would be doing something mindless like going on Facebook. Serious talk or light - no matter among friends :)
ReplyDeleteThe food and drink look so refreshing! Our bodies probably thank us every time we eat something healthy. Summer is the perfect time to eat lighter and closer to nature.
Your son looks and sounds very happy. I know that warms your heart :) Wishing him continued success at school!
So sorry about your loss of power. Our electric lines are buried underground in our community so we don't lose power too often, but it was awful in our old neighborhood. Every summer the lights would go out; one time for FIVE days in very hot weather. Glad you and hubby were okay.
Finally, thanks for the look at your gorgeous blooms! I can almost smell them :)
Dear Chris your kindness is really overwhelming!
DeleteThis one is excellent topic. I am very happy for your nice post. always i am waiting this type post. Thanks in advanced. :) :)

I also have to ommit some tea now, cls I am breastfeeding my son, now I only drink some herbs,especially for lactacion,juices and water☺ I also love watermelon,actually I love all fruits,but haven't tried sapota before, so interesting☺ Have a lovely week☺☺
ReplyDeleteThis is really amazing to know dear Natalia that you are breast feedifeeding your baby:)
DeleteI was not never as lucky due to be extremely anemic :(
I'm sure you were happy to see your son's picture and his new haircut. I love watermelon and muskmelon too! Your flowers are so pretty.
ReplyDeleteLovely photograph of your climber, it has vey nice blooms.
ReplyDeleteI find cucumber and watermelon very refreshing in hot weather.
How lovely that you got to talk to your son, I wish him continued success with his studies, I like the photograph of him.
All the best Jan
I love summer fruits! Watermelon is - and always has been - my favourite. It brings back fond memories of my father. We were the only two in the family that loved fruit and we would often share some together.
ReplyDeleteOh how sweet memories dear Martha :)
ReplyDeleteMy father was fond of watermelon either though mom and younger sister loved muskmelon more so we used to share lot as they were grown in neighbouring village and then men sold them by carrying on donkey cart from place to place
Awesome shots <3

Hi Baili, I just love what you said, "Realize all the preciousness and beauty of life hidden in present moment." Wow, if more of us could focus on that it would be a better world. Thank you, Baili, for sharing your blog. I hope you have a happy day. Take care my friend. John
ReplyDeleteOh, melon is so delicious - I love this time of year when they are so plentiful and sweet. Your flowers are so pretty and it's so nice that your son stays in touch with you often. I hope his studies are going well. Sending blessings for your weekend, dear Baili. xo Karen
ReplyDeleteHi, Baili!
ReplyDeleteSo much to think about in your post! Terry and I are focusing on eating more fruits and vegetables as well. We're eating a lot of cucumbers too. I like to dip them in hummus. I love ripe muskmelons or cantaloupe as we call them in the US. Chilled watermelon is always delicious on a hot day.
Your tea cup and saucer are lovely with their pretty flowers. Coffee mugs aren't nearly as elegant, and I drink a lot of coffee! Your climber is beautiful, and I love how it drops over your sunflowers.
I can imagine the joy, love, and pride you must feel as you talk with your intelligent and handsome son, Baili! Writing a thesis will be a challenge, but I have no doubt he will succeed at it. I hope the time until he returns flies by!
You are wise to focus on the preciousness and beauty of the present moment. I received devastating news earlier this week about a special and longtime friend of mine. Three weeks ago she was active and perfectly fine. Then she was struck with an aggressive brain disease and likely will not live another two weeks. I've been in shock and grieving. We have to remember each and every day, that life is a precious gift and that all we can count on is the present moment. We must hold those we love close and let them know how important they are to us. Your life can be gone in a heartbeat.
I am so grateful that we have become friends, Baili! Big hugs to you!
I love your picture an thoughts about your son xx
