Just thinking about sunflowers this morning...I always like to grow sunflowers near my home because they are so bright and cheerful....
I like all sunflower varieties...
Some of the varieties are called:
Velvet Queen (crimson petals)
Lemon Queen (pale yellow petals)
Sunspot
Autumn Beauty
Giant Grey Striped
Birds like them for seeds sometimes, and they also attract Dragonflies and Butterflies...
I like Birds, Dragonflies, Butterflies and I think they are all so very pretty and peaceful!...
All flowers are my favorites because they smell good and attract those beautiful things....they make life more cheerful.

Spring and Easter decorations....
Time to set all your clocks forward an hour tonight!...I have to remember that..
I'm looking forward to the Spring season!
Went to Jo-anns craft store yesterday and I purchased a few Easter/Spring seasonal decorations...I found a small plush baby chick that is yellow and I finally found the glittery foam egg wreath that I have been admiring for decorating with....it has pastel colored glittery eggs attached to a wood vine wrapped wreath....very pretty!
I have collected all kinds of cute plush bunny rabbits, lambs, baby chicks, in all colors and I found some other Easter/Spring related decorations very inexpensive at the Dollar Stores and the Dollar Tree!...you can always find cute whimsical decorations in those stores to collect...
I enjoy decorating for Easter and Spring....Because I am a Christian I celebrate the Easter holiday with decorating and attending church services that day....I like to read the passages in the Bible about Jesus and why we celebrate Easter for him! because he loves us all!
The day of Easter isn't until next month but I am decorating already so I can see how cute/pretty it is in the house...
Spring is one of my favorite seasons because everything becomes green and wakes up from Winter..trees and plants grow, flowers grow...it's a new beginning outside for nature.
the colors for spring are usually pastels that I enjoy to look at..green, purple, pink, yellow, blues all in pastels....umbrellas, rain clouds, and flowers all remind me of spring...
love, julie

chewing gum, mints, antiseptic mouthwashes.....
weather = muddy, snowy, cold, icy, slushy....MESS! Brr!
Just brushed my teeth....Haha..how random..I haven't been doing much the past few days because of the snowy icy cold weather....
more randomness...
chewing gum right now...
I always like to chew some mint kind of chewing gum during the day all day til lunch then I take another piece out of my purse and start all over again chewing some kind of minty gum---always!
I'm chewing a minty gum right now...I like the flavors of spearmint, peppermint, cinnamon, all kinds of minty flavored chewing gums....
Also I like to use Altoid breath mints and breath refreshers...I always want my breath to smell good! You know, nobody wants to smell bad breath!!!..icky! gross!
mints are a favorite of mine to purchase that I always like to have in my purse, Altoids, minty chewing gums....and I always brush my teeth 2 times a day...to keep my teeth clean, whiter, and my breath will smell nice all the time....
I like to always keep these items with me at all times in my purse or in a pocket...because I NEVER want to have bad breath!
Listerine and other mouth washes are also items I purchase and use everyday after I brush my teeth...I like the mouthwashes that kill bacteria and are Antiseptic..which means they clean VERY WELL!...
nobody wants to have bad breath and that is something I don't want to ever have....

farmer's markets and fruit stands....we need more!....
Just thinking about how when I go to a store I would really like to be buying more locally grown and organic fresh fruits and vegetables...
I think it is a good thing to try and support local farmers in your area....and I really admire the fact that you can get those things at a farmer's market that is local...we have one nearby, but it is not that spectacular yet!...They need more support and more attention to get shoppers and farmers interested in them...
I think they need to have a very ginormous one!...you know with tents and shoppers everywhere....It would be a good thing for the local economy, shoppers, eating healthier, and the farmers to earn money!
there's nothing better to me than being able to purchase fresh produce like that.....it tastes better and with it being organic that is an added bonus, although I know it is a little more expensive to have organic fruits/vegetables I would still try to save money up to have it be cleaner/healthier....
Farmers can make more money with their fields and shoppers can make the local economy better in the certain seasons....
fruits and some vegetables I know cannot be grown here but they could purchase those elsewhere and allow people to support those farmers as well...
it's just something that I think needs to be here for everyone and it is something that I really like!
all the fruit stands need support as well and we need more of those also....It's just a part of spring/summer that I enjoy shopping at....
roadside fruit stands with brightly colored fliers to get attention and cute signs---all those things get people to stop/shop there and it makes the road have character...haha!
having road side fruit stands, sometimes you do not have to travel all the way to town to a grocery store to purchase fruits/vegetables and that saves time and gas money ya know?

driven and motivated...
I made a tiny snowman this morning....haha!...I'm sure he will melt by the end of the day probably....
Took Goofball walking out in the pasture this morning and he found Stormy calf and he had to give her kisses and she is always looking for him in the pasture...it's cute!...they are best friends I think....
Thinking about how we all need to be driven and motivated to get things completed and achieve wonderful things for our lives and the world so it will be a much better place to dwell in...
You can have so many things in your mind that you wish to achieve, or clean up messes, or get things completed that you know NEED to be attempted and worked on...I know that I like to make lists on notebooks of dreams, wishes, and messes or just things in general that I want to work on and create or clean up....
one thing I like is to set goals and think things through at all times before I plot and plan something good for my life or my surroundings...that something that I want to achieve or clean up...I always say to myself:" Get up and go out that door and attempt to make these things happen Julie!"...
Don't just set there and worry/cry, or complain!!! Get out that door and work on it or clean it up!! "
You have to have motivation in anything that you set out to attempt or achieve...Wanna clean up a mess?!...Get out a notebook with your favorite pen(I prefer blue or green) write down all your thoughts about your goals/wishes/dreams/messes/feelings....
gripe about all your messes and failures in this notebook and then look at these things you have written and think about them all....plan on how to clean it up or resolve issues in your life!
then plot and plan carefully after thinking all this through....and don't give up until you attempt these things and work on these things...If you never give up on these ideas then you will be much closer to seeing the progress you have made...
I'm all about planning things and thinking them through...I am very motivated in all areas of my life...Sure I have had many failures, upsets, and many attempts but sometimes things fall apart like that, so much better things will be on the way for your life I think!....
a person can NEVER give up on their life or their goals...you have to be motivated and you have to have ambitions you can work through any mess and clean it up..you just have to keep working on it until it is completed....
all tasks have to be completed...I truly believe that way...and I do not like messes in my life...just like I don't like to see trash all over the ground or a nasty mess in a house/yard....clean up messes of all kinds in your life and your surroundings....
always be motivated and driven to make good things happen never bad things and life can have a chance to be better..you just have to work at these things...
I always like things neat and orderly and inline....so they will be cleaned up and I can work on my goals and forget my failures.....everyone has failed miserably at something...forget the past and work on making the future much better I say...
