A Happy Heart!

Late last fall I had a couple of bags of bulbs that I planted late one rainy afternoon. I thought they were red and yellow tulips. So as the winter rains gradually started warming up, I anxiously watched as the little green shoots poked up through the soil. Spring came late this year and so as the green gradually grew taller and then heads formed at the heads, we were excited to see the color emerge. To my amazement one bunch bloomed as white and yellow daffodils! The other bunches started orange red and gradually turned deep orange and yellow. We were surprised by the depth of the color and the size of the heads. It is a crazy thing how much wonder and joy watching and waiting and then seeing the color come can bring. Growing a garden is a little like having children perhaps a bit time-lapsed and maybe a little less work! We wait expectantly and then a miracle occurs and over time and with nourishing and great care unique, beautiful souls emerge bring so much joy and love into the world. There is a lady in Enumclaw whose garden is pictured above who felt especially blessed recently by the gifts her children sent her via the family blog. So much so, that she wept tears of gratitude and printed the blog to put in her journal. You are all so dear to me and continue to bring me much wonder, joy and love. I will cherish your recollections, kind wishes, and perspectives always. It is continually a blessing to be a part of your lives and watch you as you emerge. Thank you for a gift from the heart. I love you so. Je t'ame!
