Week Three - Time For Myself....Hmmmmmm

This week we were asked to show and tell about what we do when we sneak a few moments for ourselves. Not having any small children at home I do tend to have a little more time to "steal" for myself.  Usually it is at night...or on Sundays after church as I try to have that as our lazy day.



Usually at night I either, read, crochet, or watch TV depending upon what is on.  It is quiet in my room and when I am done with what I am doing then I can snuggle down in the covers with my husband, (when he finally gets home from the hospital - abt two more weeks)and go to sleep.





Usually on the weekends and sometimes at night, I do work on my jewelry pieces while I watch TV in the living/family room. We have a big tv in there so it is much easier to watch. I have a whole corner....to myself and my family know not to go in it!!!!!




And somewhat lastly, when the days are nice as they have been here in Florida, I get and work in the yard. The above picture is of some shrubs I am trying to grow from cuttings so that we have a little privacy.  I plan to plant some flowering bulbs in between for color.

The one to the right, is a garden that my husband and I work on together...it is kinda a hodgepodge of plants, aloe, a large cactus  lilies,  roses, bromiliad's. and so on. It is fun to get out and get your hands dirty now and then.

So these are a few of my favorite things that I do when I "sneak" time for myself.

    Ah shrubbery, that's a project for the spring around these parts too. We backed onto open field but now there is a very nice rec path running through it. It's wonderful to have but some form of coverage needs adding! Your "me" time sounds just about perfect!

    If you want privacy on a fence, in Florida, we planted a passion vine along the fence behind our house and it grows like something out of Jumanji! Sky vine and bouganvillia too.

    I used to enjoy working outside in the gardens - but the summer heat in Virginia is just too much for me. So, I stopped planting items that needed tending to so that I would not be required to go out in the heat! It is so nice in Florida this time of year - glad you have things to keep you occupied outside to enjoy the fantastic weather!

    A lovely way to spend time for yourself! I am more of a black thumb sort of person, but that doesn't stop me from trying each year with annuals. Go and enjoy the sunshine for me. It is -20 today with the windchill up here in Wisconsin! Thanks for sharing! Enjoy the day. Erin

    Thanks for sharing all the ways you find time for yourself. I think it is a good idea to have many ways so that one is always available or appealing when the free time becomes available.
