TODAY'S FLOWERS - Jonquils


Flowers raising their heads above all the weeds
in my little front garden


their pretty faces enhancing the putti
supporting the bird bath


softly smiling no matter the cold, rain or wind


be grateful for what you have
lest you are left with nothing at all.

    Hi Arija...So nice to see weeds in the garden makes me feel good about my garden weeds hee-hee!!
    Lovely soft colored flowers!!
    I like that little saying at the end!!
    This morning I was grumbling to my daughter while we spoke over the phone about this miserableness rain we have had and continue to have, and she said "Mom" we could be having wildfires, tornadoes, or snow just be grateful it's just rain!! : )

    Lovely - and so much more advanced than ours. We have a couple of flower spikes but no blooms yet. And how right you are on the gratitude front... Thank you for the post and the reminder.

    I love how they grow in little clumps .... like friends chatting away with their little nodding heads.

    Nice flowers - are they early?

    Oil on the beach would not be a good find!
