When John and I married, he promised me that I would have daisies every day because they brought me so much joy.<\/p>\n<p>Well, that promise was one that was quickly broken&#8211;probably at my own insistence because I&#8217;m such a cheapskate.  But back then I spent very little time thinking about flowers.  I was busy working three jobs, then mothering two children, etc, etc<\/p>\n<p>Now I find myself spending more and more time gazing at flowers. Yes, part of it is because I have some freedom in my life right now that affords me the time for leisure, the time for contemplation.  And I do try hard not to take that gift for granted.  Because I&#8217;ve found worlds without end on the insides of flowers.  <\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m no longer strictly a daisy fan.  Rather, I enjoy the merits of whatever flower happens to cross my path on a particular day.  Last week it was this bright pink gerber daisy, pictured here, that I put in a vase with a half-dozen of a similar hue.  This morning it was a royal purple iris hiding under a little table in the center of my flower garden.  What will tomorrow bring?  Roses <i>peut-etre<\/i>?  That would be lovely, as I do relish the scent of a tea rose&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-weight:bold;\">There came a time when the risk to remain tight in the bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.<\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-style:italic;\">-Anais Nin<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>pink, originally uploaded by pilgrimgirl.
