Monthly Archives: February 2010After reading Wind in the Willows my boys went outside to be “Ratty” and “Mole” together. They were so cute they needed a special sweet treat (even though we don’t eat a lot of sugar) but I was way too tired to bake. Sooo… Pretzel sticks sprinkled with white chocolate chips. They approved and now Mom needs some. Mmmmm 🙂    I drew this sketch of the flowers my husband ordered for me on Valentines Day. They were Ugly, a Disappointment, just like much of the rest of my life recently… He said the website claimed they would bloom into “a hundred blossoms of love” but they appeared well past blooming, the little buds were crushed, wilted, hopeless. I thanked him, put them in a vase and tried to politely ignore them…
  Then one morning I woke up and there was hope. Unbelievably they were opening up uncertain, bedraggled, shaky, a long shot, but they were beginning to think about…
…becoming Beautiful. Shockingly they persisted in continually blooming for days and weeks longer than any flower should. Different, Beautiful   Here’s to hoping for things to bloom
