All's calm at Lake McDonald - Glacier National Park |
I find myself in that lull; our employment as Mountain Ambassadors has come to an end for the season, and yet it's too soon for many of our summer activities. And when presented with ample time, less seems to get done. "I have plenty of time for that," the thinking goes.
Then I heard this Zac Brown song on the radio. It captures my sentiment completely. Jettison the "to do" list, folks, and relish some life in the slow lane.
NO HURRY
Forget the dirty car, bills, cleaning and laundry! |
And the front yard needs a trim
And the telephone keeps ringing
And the bossman knows I know its him
And the bills ain't gonna pay themselves
No matter anyway
'Cause I ain't in no hurry today
Stitching and American Idol by candlelight |
And the smell of early spring
Sit down in a fold-up easy chair
On a quiet shady river bank
Let the world go on without me
Wouldn't have it any other way
'Cause I ain't in no hurry today
Sweet Peaks Salted Caramel Ice Cream
Neighborhood sky (and more stitchin')
|
I'd be a fool now to worry
About all those things I can't change
And the time that I borrow
Can wait till tomorrow
'Cause I ain't in no hurry today
A little night-time reading
More stitchin'
Cocktails at Spotted Bear Distillery
|
To the cold cold ground
Have 'em take their time
When they lay this sinner down
Heaven knows that I ain't perfect
I've raised a little cain
And I plan to raise a whole lot more
Before I hear those angels sing
(Gonna get right with the Lord)
But there'll be hell to pay
Coffee and cake doodles; Bird-watchin' with Maggie the Cat
Clockwise: Ruffed Grouse; American Robin; Turkey; Flicker |
Ain't in no hurry
Be a fool now to worry
About all those things I can't change
And the time that I borrow
Can wait till tomorrow
'Cause I ain't in no hurry
Ain't in no hurry
Ain't in no hurry today

ReplyDeleteHappy Easter to you and your family!
ReplyDelete...hurrying isn't all it's cracked up to be!
ReplyDeleteIt seems to me there's a whole lot of lazy days and goings on happening at your place. Why, I wouldn't mind sitting on that river bank on a fold-up easy chair, listening to the sounds and drinking in all that glorious landscape. Nope....I wouldn't mind at all. Happy Easter to you♥
ReplyDeleteOn a quiet shady river bank
maybe this is the recharge season. Quiet meditation has it's benefits.... your pictures are always lovely.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for this post.
ReplyDeleteHave a nice day.

Hope you had a Happy Easter, Angie! Spring has finally arrived on our part of Colorado and it feels so good!
ReplyDeleteI have learned to be lazy with years - when younger I was always in a hurry doing something :) Thank you for this lovely country song. Wishing happy Easter Monday.
ReplyDeleteIndeed Haste makes Waste, we say here. Happy Easter and of cours many thanks for hosting.
ReplyDeleteI wish you a very good week.
On the contrary to your place, it is one of the busiest time in all Japan. School year and fiscal year starts in April. Tourism is the busiest along with autumn. As for myself, I was restless like many other Japanese with the bloom of cherry blossoms. Thankfully my nerve pain has subsided gradually, I could go out to admire and taste the beauties of the blooms while mostly slowing down. Nerve pain seems to take long time to heal on its own but I’m almost getting over it with Vitamin 12. I like your way of spending slow time as is shown in the lovely mosaics.

Hello, I like Zac brown's songs. This one is great, the words are perfect for my life right now. No hurries, no worries. Your photos are lovely, the view in the first photo is gorgeous. Thanks for hosting MM! Have a happy day and a great new week!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great song, Angie! I like the sentiments it expresses... I need to take heed as I usually rush around like the proverbial "chook without a head"!
ReplyDeleteI hope you had a great Easter!
PS: Thank you for hosting!
ReplyDeleteI wish I could be in the land of no hurry! Easter and Anzac Day for us here in Australia this week, though Easter was relaxing even though we travelled 4 hours to join family for the weekend.Have a great week and thank you for the link up.
ReplyDeleteThat is such a majestic mountain!
ReplyDeleteOh my! I wonder if I can remember enough of the words to sing that song today! I hurry through my chores to do the things I want to do at this time of year. It's perfect weather for hiking here but the hot temps will come soon! Love your photos. I'll clean when it's too hot to go outside! lol Happy MM!
ReplyDeleteI love the Zac Brown Band---good music. And, yes, all that work does need to be done----but there is nothing wrong with an old cane fishing pole.
ReplyDeleteMB
Happy Easter
ReplyDeletemuch love...
We're with you in ain't no hurry, holiday mode here too!
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting.

Fun song. It's so true about having more time on your hands and getting less accomplished. I've also noticed that restaurants/wait staff are a lot more efficient when they are more crowded. I'm way behind which is becoming my new song.
ReplyDeleteWe've got the rest of our life to get things done. But, I did get our laundry done today. :-) Hi, Angie. I love your happy doodles and stitching.
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting! Have a lovely week.
ReplyDeleteYep. That's my sort of philosophy too. All these folks rushing around, driving on my bumper (fender - impressed?) as if it's there's no tomorrow. Those pictures fit the story so well Angie. Enjoy the rest of your week. Happy belated Easter to you and yours Angie.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful mosaics you shown, love them.
ReplyDeleteThat's me in a nut shell, no hurry. I really don't get up and going till early afternoon...lol Coffee is for relaxing over. 😊 Kit
ReplyDeleteWonderful array of beautiful photos ~ hard to pick a favorite ~ ^_^
ReplyDeleteHappy Day to you,

Lovely shots! And even more wonderful to just take the time and be...
ReplyDeleteWonderful post, great to read .
ReplyDeleteSorry Angie, no mosaic - Monday went by too fast with replying to the all Seasons-ers:) Thank you for your comment on the doll post. Only one of my two girls is a doll girl. The other could care less, lol. How neat that you are saving your daughter's dolls for her daughter(s)
ReplyDeleteI am also saving my son's little cars, in case he later will get married and will have a son. Meanwhile, my two youngest grand daughters play with them, because we have a long hall with a wooden floor- perfect:).
Seems to me that I am busy relaxing! Since I retired I have been immersed in many activities and ai am certainly busy, but I enjoy it all immensely so it could perhaps be considered relaxation too.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lot of fun Angie .... obviously I wasn’t in any hurry to read your lovely blog nor to say thank you as always! I do say it mentally when I link, but don’t always have time at that moment to fully enjoy yours ... and then I forget to come back. I’m so glad I remembered and so glad I had time to savor your “down time” ... which is pretty much how I live my life these days, only not as productively!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful mosaics and a great une. Relax have fun is my motto!
ReplyDeleteMaggie is adorable!
ReplyDelete"Lake McDonald - Glacier National Park" looks so beautiful....
ReplyDeletethank you for sharing series of beautiful photos
I love this post. So much of corporate life is artificially hurrying with no purpose. Chill, everything is going to be okay.
ReplyDeleteHope you had a good Easter.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the mosaics and this great country song.
Maggie looks so sweet in your last mosaic.
All the best Jan
I've never heard that tune but the words are great!! I like to be organized, but I don't think that counts as being 'in a hurry' as I do like to enjoy things as they happen.
ReplyDeleteNever heard the song either. I'm the same - the less time I have, the more I get done :-)

After my two day cleaning spree, I've been doing a whole lot of kinda just hanging out. I'm not a fan of being too busy. Did enough of that when I was working. Have a great weekend. :)
