Sunshine and roses

I am tired.  That pretty much sums it up.   Well that and maybe I slightly overdid it yesterday.  So I am tired with a clean house :)
I am sitting here looking through my screen door at my roses and flower garden.  How nice it must be to bloom in the sun.  Having the warmth spread all over your face and soaking it all in.  Sunshine is not my best friend now a days.  Well let me reiterate, heat is not my best friend.  MS and heat = vision fade in right eye, an exacerbation of clumsiness, balance problems, increase in leg fatigue, numbness and tingling, exhaustion within minutes and the best one is the drunken speech.  I bet the flowers don't have that problem.  Maybe they do in a way.  If you don't water them, they droop.  Maybe MS is like a watering problem in the heat.  If you can't cool down you droop. Hmmmm, interesting.
Still, love the sunshine.  Now I enjoy it in the early morning or as it is setting.  Beautiful times of day.  Bought a cooling vest, but that didn't really work out so I can enjoy it from a distance.  Watching the butterflies on the flowers.  Our adopted lizard who has made our garden his home; we named him Bob.  He comes back every year.  The beautiful and tantilizing colors make me shine just like the sun.  My inner sunshine comes out.
