sunny simple flowers

6/24/12

I spent a quiet day yesterday straightening up a bit around Lemon Lane Cottage.  Rearranging odds and ends.  Freshening up the mantel with some sunny simple flowers from the garden.



Life is full right now and I am basking in the ordinariness of it...


Not knowing what tomorrow holds but not fretting about it either...




Sometimes you just have trust in the freshness of flowers today and not worry about when their beauty will fade.  Finding comfort in the seeds of hope they leave behind to bloom again next season.

Enjoy your Sunday.

xo, Patty

I am joining my good friend Elaine for Sunny Simple Sundays.

    Your flowers look just right! I know what you mean, one "doing" at a time, one moment that matters. Happy Sunday!

    Patty,
    Your mantle is lovely! I have the same thoughts about flowers here on the Prairie, this year! I'm just enjoying each one as it blooms! Thanks for reminding us "just to enjoy the moment"!
    Fondly,
    Pat
