Hi everyone! The video I have chosen for this post is "Looking for Romance; I Bring You a Song" (Frank Churchill, 1942...instrumental).
I still have the cold, I have been coughing and sneezing quite a bit. For the past two nights I have been coughing a lot, so hopefully this will pass soon. I am stubborn and independent, I hate to take antibiotics unless it is absolutely necessary, and thus far I have no infection, so thankfully it hasn't been necessary. I prefer to use natural food as much as possible, such as honey, garlic, onions, lemon, ginger, etc., and just let it pass on its own. If I do get an infection, though, I will head to the doctor, but until then I am just going to tough it out. :)
The photo I am sharing today is one I took a couple of summers ago, 2011...during one of my nice walks. You just need to click on the photo to see a larger view.
Thank you all so much for visiting me here. I really appreciate and enjoy reading your thoughts, which you are always welcome to share by clicking on the 'comments' link at the end of my post.
We are waiting on more snow/ice in Illinois, so your colorful summer flowers are like a breath of fresh air!
ReplyDeleteHope the cold ease up on you soon. Winter is gloomy enough without a cold!
Much love,
Kim
Hi Kim, thank you so much, I really appreciate your comment. Hugs and love.
DeleteLovely music, lovely flowers. Hope you feel better very shortly!
ReplyDeleteHi Gorges, so glad you enjoyed the music and flowers. Thank you so much for your well wishes.
Deletegreat flowers
ReplyDeleteThank you, Adam.
DeleteI am just like you when it comes to doctors. I would rather depend upon tried and true home remedies. Feel better, Linda!
ReplyDeleteHi Shay, thanks for your support. A couple of friends think I should see a doctor, but really, I don't get colds very often (several years pass between colds, generally), and I prefer to let it take its course...so long as I don't have any infection, which I don't, thankfully.
DeleteI'm all for riding out a cold. I think it helps build up your immunity naturally so you don't get sick so often!
ReplyDeleteHi Ms. Sparrow, you know, now that you mention this, I have some friends who get sick fairly often, and they take antibiotics. I really prefer to let it heal naturally. As you said, I don't get sick so often, I have colds perhaps every several years, not on a yearly (or more often) basis as compared to some. Thank God.
DeleteI find it worse at night. When I lie down to go to sleep this is when it gets worse. I get up and sit up for a while and read or do something else and drink some water until I feel my throat is more stable and I can go back to bed.
ReplyDeleteI love the bright flowers, and the music seems to go with them! I hope you feel better soon!
ReplyDeleteHi Tina, thank you so much for your comment and well wishes.
DeleteThe zinnias are gorgeous! Anti-biotics will not help a cold and will make you more anti-biotic resistant if you take too many, so good for you for not asking for them!!! I hope you feel better soon!
ReplyDeleteHi Ginny, thank you so much.
DeleteHope you're feeling a little less 'under the weather'. I agree with not running off to get drugs for everything that ails - until and unless it's really necessary.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous flowers - stunning colours !
Hi Rick, thanks so much!
DeleteJ'espère que vous allez mieux... En France la pic de grippe est a son maximum... Nous y passons tous! et comme vous je refuse de prendre des médicaments... Je me contente de prendre du miel additionné de citron... et de faire des tisanes de romarin ou en inhalation...
ReplyDeleteMerci pour ces photos fleuries, pleine de vitamines pour les yeux !
Gros bisous
Bonjour Martine, merci beaucoup. Gros bisous.
DeleteGoregeous zinnias. A favorite and hardy flower. I especially enjoyed those ocean sounds. So soothing. Perhaps running water in a small stream is why I like trout fishing so much....:)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Trout, so glad you enjoyed them.
DeleteBoth photo and film enjoyable, theres luts of colds going around here too.
ReplyDeleteThis year seems to be the year for it more than the previous years. Thanks so much, so glad you enjoyed the photo and video.
DeleteLovely post with pretty photo and a song. Hope you feel better soon. My favorite cold drink is lemon juice, grated ginger and honey in a cup of hot water.
ReplyDeleteHi Denise, is one of my favourites as well! Thanks so much, really glad you enjoyed the photo and video.
DeleteLinda, I hope you feel better soon, this continued cold weather can't be helping... Hang in there!
ReplyDeleteI hope you feel better soon Linda :)
ReplyDeleteHi Linda. Sorry to hear you're still not feeling well. Antibiotics won't do a cold any good 'cause they don't work on viruses. Stay warm and keep your fluid level up. But you know all that.
ReplyDeleteLove the picture - the colors are so vibrant. And the song is wonderful - it's one I don't remember hearing before.
Re the copyright. It is true that it's harder to steal a photo if you have the copyright sign in the middle of a picture. I guess I figure if someone is that desperate to crop off my copyright to steal a photo, they can have the darn thing! :)
I'm sorry to hear that you have a cold, and I hope you will soon be better. I also hate going to the doctor, so I know how you feel. Your photo is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteAs long as you aren't running a fever and don't get worse - - it sounds like you will be on the mend soon. Like you, I only take antibiotics when absolutely necessary. One thing about being sick is when you are better, you feel wonderful.
ReplyDeleteRosemary: Thank you!
ReplyDeleteKeith: Thanks!
Lowell: Thanks so much for your comment, so glad you enjoyed the photo and video. LOL on the "they can have the darn thing!" :)
George: Thanks so much!
Lynda: Thankfully no fever, I appreciate your comment!
Hi Linda, Sorry you are not feeling well. There's nothing like an old cold to make one feel lousy... Bless you!!!!
ReplyDeleteThe photo is gorgeous... Can't wait til spring.
Hugs,
Betsy
Hope you feel already a bit better, Linda.
ReplyDeleteHugs and love,
Lie(f)s.

ReplyDeleteFeel better soon, Linda!
Betsy: Thanks so much.
ReplyDeleteLies: Thanks a lot.
