I hope (and assume) that the rehab facility is as good inside as the grounds outside seem to be. These flowers are what you need to feast your eyes on when you're not with her! I hope she continues to get better and that soon you can look at the flowers just because you want to!Sallie (FullTime-Life)http://travelingrainvilles.typepad.com/traveling_home/2011/11/lunch-al-fresco.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1785795575454502378.post-10741065763812284912011-11-02T18:46:07.285-07:002011-11-02T18:46:07.285-07:00Such beautiful flowers Arija, and they do calm the...Such beautiful flowers Arija, and they do calm the soul don't they?<br />I hope things are going well.<br />B♥Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05539402327765556670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1785795575454502378.post-39956075012759112512011-10-31T17:36:35.181-07:002011-10-31T17:36:35.181-07:00We feel consolation in every manifestation of God ...We feel consolation in every manifestation of God in nature - this time it is iris.

These images, the flowers, such splendid beauties. I am hoping with all that your sister is recovering from her surgery. I know that it cannot be easy being so far from her during this time. I do hope that you can muster up the strength and time to share more, for these touched the quiet space in my soul as I reviewed them once again!
