It was just the place to be.
Perfect for me and my bruised tooshie.
(I had to type it, it rhymes)
Not fancy, not schmancy – no fluffy rug.
But perfect, and decadent, snug as a bug.
Take off your ruffles, and sink into there…
Where cast iron love, so perfectly cups your squishy derriere.
Some rose petals for goodness, nature's gift…
Sprinkle them in, and watch them drift.
Then slowly get in, as your heart begins to shout.
It's happy.
It's giddy.
What's this nonsense all about?
Looking up through the trees.
What's that I see?
A couple of bees.
And…
Butterflies, so many.
All sorts of vines twining, fun for relaxingly spying.
Morning glory, passion fruit, and pumpkin too.
So very cozy.
A summer dream.
I flipped from side to side.
I blew bubbles.
And left mighty clean.
And pruny too…
Because I had to convince myself to get out.
Some of the perks of oven hot air.
Swimming in a giant ball and claw foot tub.
En plein air.
Yumm.
Love, V
Miss Vanessa that is simply the most lovely thing ever! I wish I had a divine outdoor tub (living right next door to someone might make it kind of awkward though). I am so sorry about your poor tooshie, I do hope you feel better soon. I am finally back from my travels and will try to get your package sent out this week!
ps. My zinnias are going simply mad! I just can’t seem to cut them off for vases as quickly as they are growing!
A book suggestion for you as you are healing..
‘the Language of Flowers’ by Vanessa Diffenbaugh.
I swooned over the magic of this one- it weaves together
the magic of flowers and keeps rooting for the Victorian
romantic expressions of flowers in modern life.
tubs, I have heard, with salts and other goodies are the best after a slippery fall.
and your tub surrounded by
nature is sO divine.
i have heard there are numerous foods that can clam inflammation..
tumeric , blueberries, broccoli, sweet potatoe to name a few..
oh and teas too …green tea is one. traa-lala in the sun.
I tre adore your cloud photos they are simply enchanting…thank you.
xx
I can feel it now….. sliding into that cool water on a hot day… wat a feeling!!
So sweet. Thanks for sharing. 🙂
An open air claw foot tub. Alas I’m a wee jealous piglet :o) Oh to sit and soak, weightless is such beautiful surrounding. Happiness for the soul, soothing to the spirit and healing to the bones. Total bliss.
Have a great day.
Always, Queenie
Vanessa,
I am glad you enjoyed your relaxing time and I hope it brings you fast healing. I love all the vine flowers and petals surrounding you. It just seems so wonderful…
We are finally getting rain as I type and my teens ran out to dance in it! LOVE IT!!!<3
I so want to set up something similar in my garden but since I live in the city…just too many prying eyes! Maybe someday I can figure it out! I love the way you rhyme it is just such fun! Hope you are feeling better from your tumble…take care of yourself.
love & blessings

Ah! Sounds so very refreshing! Love the beautiful rose petals and the bright white fabrics hanging so prettily! I am so sorry that you hurt yourself! I hope you are feeling better. I hope you take plenty of time to rest up if you need it.
Lovely. That should heal so much. Love your beautiful bath. Diane
what a way to bathe…… so decadent. I do hope that this magical bath works its magic on you dearest Vanessa. xxx
One can take lessons on how to relax from you. You certainly know how.
just wonderful.
Oh Nature Girl! What a beautiful way to honor MOTHER Nature…..priceless! 🖤DEBI
That’s so much more indulgent than a hot tub. (I don’t have one of those either.) And, of course, your lovely setting makes it even more divine.
You have such a knack for photography and setting a stage. You have such a knack for EVERYTHING, it seems.
Mucho relax.
Este año vas
a organizar la fiesta de halloween?
Es muy divertida y en casa junto a mi hija la esperamos con entusiasmo.
Besos
🖤
heaven
heaven
heaven times 10!
{{ i’m sea*splashing
but
this looks yummy,
too! }}
SWEET!!!(((((((Vanessa)))))))
Outdoor bathing is a dream for me, but one I do hope to do someday. It is beautiful, this tub of yours with rose petal floating about. Just beautiful I say!
Your pictures make me want to go out and find a tub, drag it up on the hill behind the house and hang all kinds of billowing linens all around. Ahhhhh, someday.
It is so very lovely you have such a very private place in which to relax and to soothe your bruised body in.
Hope you are feeling a little better by now.
😉
Miss Teresa
That looks so lovely, Vanessa. I hope that tub is slip-proof!
You makes me smile. 🙂

now THAT would be something to enjoy…a nice tubby in the garden…….I’m totally jealous!
En plein air?! That’s not fair!
Butt it’s pretty, where you got sitty 🙂
Es tu pelo muy liso y sedoso? (I’ve been
reading shampoo bottles 🙂
straight and greasy? Why, yes :)))) hehehehahahaaaa. not
really 🙂 Joking. hahahaa!
Dearest Beloved Vanessa, you are so darling with your little sing sang poem and your tale of woe!!! But I’m ever so sorry to hear about your bruised tooshie all black and blue and painful too. Now if you had a ghetto butt (like me) maybe your fall would not have been so painful or your bruise so huge…just something to think about my little Elfin freind “-O.
Frightful that must have been!!!
silkeeee!! yooo!
mi pelo es muy boroso :/
Well, not really silky. My hair is wavy and unruly. :)))
Unless it is dry out and I can blow dry it. But you know, as I get
older I embrace my wavy wild hair and go with the flow
:)))
