It's a beautiful day! Spring is in the air and the desert doesn't feel like it's the desert this morning. :) I opened the blinds to let the sunshine in and my roses are in bloom and the trees have the most lovely green leaves. Most people take that for granted in places like Pasadena.
It reminded me of my Mom, and how she loved her flowers. In fact this particular planter outside my living room window is one she and I would work in together. I would always have the yard work done when she was coming to visit except for this one planter. She loved to sit outside and pull the weeds and trim the flowers.
I never really understood her appreciation for flowers when I was young. But this morning I felt the pleasure she had when I lifted the blinds and saw the different colors of roses.
I miss her everyday, but she left me with an appreciation of Gods beauty in this sometimes dreary world.
So with Gracie basking in the sunshine, Manny and I are on our way to the Nursery to pick out some flowers to plant on this wonderful day God has made for us!
