264/365: red and yellow dahlias
Can’t you just hear the music? I see a dance hall full of swirling red and yellow skirts, smiling faces, warmth and energy.
There are no wallflowers among dahlias.
These drop-dead GORGEOUS lilies grow in our front yard. It makes me feel like the richest girl in town.* Seriously, having such beauty in my life does make me feel blessed. I see these blooms & my buttons burst with pride. It’s as if they were my children performing some great feat. In truth, I did nothing in particular to manifest this beauty. But I always like to believe that love had something to do with it.

*I quote/reference It’s a Wonderful Life year-round. Just ask Brad.
Truth be told, spring training around involves a lot more mud than baseball. But both are welcome signs of spring. Apparently, this baseball topped the winning mud pie in a backyard competition inspired by “Cupcake Wars”.
Even if they did make an enormous mess – how do you not love that?
