With the surprise blooming of my crepe myrtle bush yesterday, I was quite content, and not prepared for another surprise! Now my Oak Leaf Hydrangea is blooming in my backyard! It was another example of sparse blooms, and few of them, for all the 4 or 5 years I've had it. But look at it now!

It really does our hearts and souls good to notice beautiful objects or beautiful people! In this world of mostly overwhelmingly bad news, we need something to counter sad feelings. Drink it in, when you find beauty! Dwell on it! You've heard: "take time to smell the roses." Yes, there is much about our world that is beautiful if we but look for it! Pass it on . . .
Dear Lord in Heaven, thank You for all the magnificent flowers, and the flitting birds. Thank You for the green of all nature. Thank You most for the wonderful friends and family members in our lives. You have blessed us abundantly!
