Along the garden's edge, there is a row of zinnias and sunflowers, they really are "pretty maids all in a row."
Each morning as I walk the dogs, I see those flowers. Usually there are butterflies and bees buzzing about too.
I love the vibrant colors, the happiness if you will of those flowers as they face the morning sun. If I am tired or grumpy, they always cheer me up. Nature has that ability, to lift our spirits and remind us of the beauty that is everywhere if we open our eyes.
I keep fresh flowers in our house almost 365 days a year. Those rare days when there are none, the house seems empty and a little drab. My mom and my grandmother Mamie taught me to love flowers, to grow them and understand how important they were to the human spirit.
Tonight, I am grateful for my pretty maids all in a row...I am humbled by their beauty.

How lovely they are. The colors and smells of flowers do lift the spirit.
ReplyDeleteThere is so much beauty in nature... it's good to be reminded♡
ReplyDeleteI love flowers so much too and I have some blooming plants in the house during the winter months and a full yard outside during the growing seasons but I seldom bring fresh cut flowers in the house. I somehow prefer to let them live right on their plant. Maybe I'm too busy to bother.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your little beauties.

I love flowers and love a nice bouquet! The best part is having them in your yard at your finger tips. Put some in Rick's new office!
