Sweet, Simple Things of Life

" It is the sweet, simple things of life
which are the real ones after all."
Laura Ingalls Wilder


Here are some sweet, simple things in my life today:
a columbine with exquisite color

irises blooming along the picket fence
the bridal wreath spirea bending toward the light a lovely contrast between the flower and the leaf

honeysuckles full of beauty

    *sigh* Beautiful! How do you keep bugs from eating your flowers? Whatever I do, bugs seem to ruin mine.
