today the African Violet blooms were open…

African Violet blooming…

talked with a friend about how flowers can open so quickly…

thought about the morning glories and how they are all closed up in the morning and then by mid day are all open… hibiscus open in a similar fashion… and they are usually only open for one day…

you have to be paying attention or you can miss the whole thing…

my absolute favourite to watch though are poppies… if you sit quietly and watch you can actually see them open and the cover pop off…

always a wonder to spend the few minutes it takes for them to open…

makes me think about life and how we need to enjoy and celebrate every moment as we don’t know what is in store for us, or for others…

just spent an hour searching for four pictures of George to use for a project… was bittersweet… I miss him so much…

remember to tell the important people in your life that you love them… never know if you will have another opportunity to do that…
