    I just put the most beautiful orchid plant on my coffee table. Can you believe how something so simple as a flower can brighten your darkest days?

    Have a wonderful Wednesday

    Love that quote!

    I hope everything is well for you! I stumbled across these photos of Jean Seberg and she reminded me so much of how you look with your hair cut that I trotted right on over to send them to you... you really are stunning! :)

    Hello Silver Strands, what would we men do too if no flowers....
    no flowers for our loved ones.
    And love is like a Rose. When pressed between two lifetimes, it last forever.

    I sure would love to introduce a Red Rose to you...just to make it jealous, *wink*.
    Have a great week and keep a song in your heart. Best regards, Lee.

    Your mom looks amazing with her new wig. She can really be proud of you. So knocking on wood for your family and thinking of you when I do my next give away (so thanks for commenting, love comments).

    Carmelina - I actually did pull out my sketch pad. I have a LONG way to go before I'll show my scribbles to anyone. Thanks for the inspiration :)
    S&B it's actually a magnolia blossom. First one I've ever seen ... (they don't grow in the desert!)
    Thanks everyone for your comments ... each comment is meaningful to me. Hope you all have a joyous day!
