Floral Gifts

ceiling-to-floor stone fireplace, uplifted with Mother’s Day gifts: amidst the painted flower trio, sunny bright and purple mums, yellow glad-iolus, ma-genta roses in red-ribbed vase, hearth-right; and butterscotch lantanas, on left… now in a planter on the porch, inviting hummingbirds and butterflies.

Dear Kim, Oh my, such a gentle bouquet of gratitude and beauty that radiates warmth and love. I can see the beautiful blooms, feel the hearth’s comfort, and imagine the porch alive with hummingbirds and butterflies. I think your words capture the simple joys that linger long after the flowers are given. Such a tender, sunlit moment where your poetry always brightens my day. Spring Blessings, My Dear Kim, Daniel

Yes! It’s been a week and they still flourish. The lantanas will last even longer but my love for my daughters will never end. Hugs
