I beg your pardon I never promised you a rose garden Along with the sunshine There's gotta be a little rain some time When you take you gotta give so live and let live Or let go oh-whoa-whoa-whoa I beg your pardon I never promised you a rose garden

I could promise you things like big diamond rings But you don't find roses growin' on stalks of clover So you better think it over Well if sweet-talkin' you could make it come true I would give you the world right now on a silver platter But what would it matter So smile for a while and let's be jolly Love shouldn't be so melancholy Come along and share the good times while we can

I beg your pardon I never promised you a rose garden Along with the sunshine There's gotta be a little rain some time

I beg your pardon I never promised you a rose garden

I could sing you a tune and promise you the moon But if that's what it takes to hold you I'd just as soon let you go But there's one thing I want you to know You better look before you leap, still waters run deep And there won't always be someone there to pull you out And you know what I'm talkin' about So smile for a while and let's be jolly Love shouldn't be so melancholy Come along and share the good times while we can

I beg your pardon I never promised you a rose garden Along with the sunshine There's gotta be a little rain some time, I beg your pardon I never promised you a rose garden

my wild roses are blooming today. they are the most wonderful things to smell next to lily of the valley and lilacs.
i was out plants the new squash and herbs. i lost a lot with the frost. i must remember to water later.

time for tea and some art. i need to stop at the dollar store for some supplies. glue mostly. this is the first time i have actually used up a glue stick. usually they just dry up on their own. feels weird. usually the paint or glue dries up before i can finish it.

another day another list of chores. seems i do the same things every day, floors, dishes , make dinner , laundry, and general cleaning. i should not be too sad about that, 6 months ago i could not see. when my retna detached i was blind. i have a cataract in my left eye that needs to be removed so i am waiting on that. and because i am waiting on surgery i dont know if i should go back to work yet. i dont want to be back at work for a week and find out i have a slot at the hospital. it will be scary again but i know i have to do it. then on to get the other lens in my glasses done.

i am still not comfortable driving. i have been avoiding it. i guess with the failure of my vision with driving i dont feel i want to be a problem on the roads....
