Blooming In Musashi's Garden

Early last week it was rainy, dark, dreary and finally the sun appeared

bringing the first morning that the city saw a freeze.

I dashed out the door in the early morning to feed the birds

and caught the sun spotlighting the Bill Warriner roses.

I'd rather have roses on my table than diamonds on my neck. 

 ~Emma Goldman

Inside the house, the sun was shining on the Minerva Amaryllis.

When you have only two pennies left in the world, buy a loaf of bread with one, and a lily with the other.  ~Chinese Proverb

People from a planet without flowers would think we must be mad with joy the whole time to have such things about us.  ~Iris Murdoch, A Fairly Honourable Defeat

I'm joining Sunlit Sunday and Mosaic Monday.

A big thank you to our hosts.

Wishing you well and much joy!
