There's a glorious thing happening in my yard right now..................our Poinciana trees are bursting at the seems showing me their beautiful display. Aren't they just gorgeous! Mother nature never ceases to amaze me! I just sat there in awe this morning, sipping my morning coffee under this stunning display, and was so thankful to have the senses to enjoy it. It is truly a sight to see, and since we are the only house in the street with these magnificent trees growing in their yard, we get lots of people stopping by to admire them. I confess to each and every person that it is not my gardening talents, it is wholely & solely nature who deserves the credit. I just give her (they look too pretty to be males!) a drink when I can (water restrictions), a pat on the trunk and a wink for encouragement as I head out each day! I just wanted to share this with you all today to let you know I am thinking of each of you. I haven't been around visiting and leaving comments today because a migraine really knocked me for a six. I've had to just rest in a cool dark room with an ice pack over my eyes for most of the day. But tonight, after I get home from taking Precious Princess to her 3 hour dance class, I will pop over and say g'day to everyone.
Thank you to all for your sweet comments and well wishes on the last award. The very lovely Cielo from http://houseinroses.blogspot.com/ has awarded me the Friendly Site Award today. I felt so sick and miserable today, so when I checked my blog and saw all your comments and Cielo's award, I have to admit to a few tears of happiness. Thank you all so very much. I'm to pass this award on now and that could take a while because there are so many I would like to honour. Better grab a coffee girls to stay awake while I prattle on a little longer..........

I feel your pain, Amanda, I get them, too. Don't push yourself too hard. You don't want it coming back. We won't forget you if need some time :-)
Your trees are gorgeous. Now I know where to come this winter when I need a splash cheery brightness....and I don't mean just the trees!
Good morning, dear Mandi, I am so glad you are feeling better. Those kind of headaches, I understand, are some of the most painful that exist I'm very sorry that you have to endure them!
Thank you so very much for thinking of me when you passed along this beautiful award. I am so deeply touched by your kind and sweet gesture. I JUST LOVE THIS BLOGGING...it is SUCH a heart thing!! I will pass it right along and, as you say, it is a hard thing to single out just a few. They are all so special.

Good Morning Amanda,
I hope you are feeling better. I get bad headache's everyonce in a while myself. I had one about 3 weeks ago and had to stay in bed. I thought I was going to have to go the the emergency room with it, but it finally eased up later in the day. Those trees are beautiful. Such beautiful colors. It is cold here this morning. It is 31 degrees right now. Congratulations on your award. It's always nice to get an award. I've received 2 of them. It just makes you feel so good when you get one. Well take care my friend and have a great Friday. May God Bless You.
Hugs,
Karen H.
