Bamboozled

Tricked or Deceived

A word that does not turn up often lately, an awesome explanation in jargon regurgitated, leading to being bamboozled. Equalizer is a daily dose of righting bewilderment, especially when deliberately fooled or misled by masters in this game.

Leaning more every day to be a veracious person (truthful) takes time, seeing how many mendacious (liars) people roam media compels one to leave no stone unturned. Once upon a time entering 2020 nobody would have thought turn of events would lead many falling down a dark deep hole, sanity in Hive!

An intense desire is to exit, throw of the dice see who may float above confusion, relying on past history, acknowledging present state of mind, keep questioning, life should not be a place to hide or keep quiet.

Tackling projects around the home falling squarely in my lap leaves me little time to share content, I continue walking absorbing nature as we change from winter to spring. Paintbrush lily now standing tall like big, red shaving brush filling corners of the garden in splendour.

Seed eating birds arrive at the feeder with young still relying on Mom for direction, plenty of nagging can be heard not wanting to pick the seed for themselves at this point in time.

Swinging across the neighbours garden the Sausage tree in full bloom, wrinkled maroon or dark-red trumpet-shaped flowers that are velvety appearance inside full of nectar, the sausage like fruits will come later.

Sprays of large flowers still to open this is one of the early bloomers, genus Kigelia means from Africa and occurs only in Africa.

Golden trumpet tree always first flowering tree in the garden heading into spring, not a local this tree is native to Brazil and northeast Argentina, perhaps @jlufer is looking at the same tree when walking through his city.

Walks on weekends remain a firm favourite venturing further afield while we wait the all clear to enjoy the beaches once again, still encountering sewer problems entering our waterways. Cattle being herded appear normalized through parks, even Woody is calm when passing, where previously startled would always bark.

Hadeda ibis pontificating human dilemma, how to communicate, probing, transition and trust, it is the ibis symbol. Be in a harmonious relationship with our surroundings.

Be creative presenting cohesive flow in communications, avoid being bamboozled talking current affairs, get on with living abundantly should anything happen, make sure you enjoyed yourself.

How is progress within the home diy, dusty to say the least, moving forward slowly but surely before the heat of summer arrives with before and after in entrance hall, lounge preparation before painting with special water sealant mootie to stave off damp.

Word of advice to possible home owners never trust interior decor look, check under carpets, wall covering decor, once bitten twice shy it does cost you later if not detected at the time.

Thanks for giving a sneak peek into ur busy life.

Tackling problems one by one, it's a crazy life to say the least.

Everything looks beautiful with the spring blooms. So sorry you are having to do so much renovations to the house. That looks like a very messy job. Hopefully, it will be finished before you know it and it will be like a new house. ♥

Spring comes with promise of rain we have only had a couple of hours a week ago, not looking forward to humidity...

Workload around the house has been building, mentioned problems, now I have simply taken action. May month started, with help of a brilliant guy coming in to assist me. Waiting for local bylaws to clear plans that are outdated, these went in during January, still waiting. Anyone living here will express displeasure at how slow systems move, it took my sister two years.

PIZZA!

Hello lady @joanstewart
I'm sorry you have little time to post, the good thing is that despite everything you can still go out for a walk and enjoy the nature that you like so much. Beautiful photographs

Regular walks to keep mind off the pressure one starts to feel when it's full steam ahead everywhere. Thanks for kind visit and lovely comments.

Good morning dear friend @joanstewart
It's great that you are taking care of your own home renovation, although it must be said, it is not an easy task and it takes a lot of time, but in the end it is worth it.
In this part of the world spring is coming, soon we will begin to see the golden trumpets bloom.
You live in a beautiful place full of nature. Enjoy it very much
Have a beautiful day

Very tiring getting this done so late in life, I simply won't leave a mess for someone else to fix.

Our spring has arrived, no winter to talk about. Look forward to to see your trees in flower when they open their pretty faces. Enjoy your day and thanks for support.

Your revamping is coming along nicely Joan, not easy when you have to be in charge.
I so wish I had a Golden Trumpet in my garden, it is such a pretty tree.
It's lovely seeing the garden come alive again, your photos are stunning as always!

Golden trumpet always invites feathered friends in to enjoy with me, first really vibrant flower that shouts about the warmer weather arriving.

Wish I had started revamping a long time ago, but then perhaps I would not have met Vusi who is really a wonderful person to work with. Thanks for visiting and have a lovely weekend, looks like rain on the horizon which will be lovely!

Thanks Ed, it's been a time of juggling and keep going.

That's a lot of cattle dung on that field, won't it pester the people who are going on a walk on that park?

People used to complain to no avail, I must say the herders are now trying to herd them in such a way they use the sides of the field only.

To herd the animals the man makes some revenue, one cannot fight with an honest days work trying to find places for the cattle to graze.

Never trust interior decors, check under the carpet, I would always bear that in mind.
We should enjoy life to the fullest, not wasting it on frivolities.

When purchasing a property one has to make a list of things to check, moving province we never knew to check for telltale signs. Now tackling problems we have been aware of, trying to treat over the years, now fixing is a headache.

Learning to be truthful is a wonderful virtue and the truth be told, your photos are excellent and I loved the 'mother and child' birds 😊

Silver year age group must enunciate clearly, many wrongs don't make a right. Love the birds, forever busy like mom's everywhere in the world.

Wow.. First off - Liars on Hive?? No way.. lol
Second.. Paint Brush Lilies?!! I need some of those planted in my garden. Sooo cool.
Lastly.. You have quite the project going there at home. Looks great what you have done so far! Keep up the hard work.

Summer here is fading into Autumn. I love it and hate it just the same. The leaves are just starting to turn a little. Nothing as drastic as that below (old photos - miss my baby Molly) but soon enough. Enjoy your spring!!!

Miss Molly very special little girl, we miss them as they do tend to take us outdoors more regularly on lovely days.

Have a wonderful day, take care and thanks for pictures of your fall season arriving, soon I must travel inland to witness those colours again when Autumn arrives.
