A Single Flower

On my way back from the mailbox I noticed that a single tulip had made its way up out of the rocks.

Staying Warm

Well, we had a bit of a warm up today...I think the high was somewhere around 15 degrees! The house plants have it easy.

Summer blooms.

I realized that I hadn't taken many, if any, photos of my summer flowers. Here are the day lilies in our front yard. I'm always amazed at how so many beautiful flowers can come from such small, pathetic looking stems and leaves. Each year it seems that there are always more flowers.

Plant.
I was originally going to take a photo of the shells I have in a jar...but while l was looking at the jar, the plant caught my eye. It's not a special plant, I just thought it looked cool with the blue sky in the background.

Isn't it amazing how resilient plants can be? At least this is the case for the ones who get stuck living at my house. After taking this photo and watering the plant, I continued to work at my desk. Within about 20 minutes I kept hearing these weird, little noises. I finally realized that it was the plant. The stems were beginning to stand back upright. It made me wish I had taken video of the entire process or some stop motion photography. Maybe next time...I know I will probably be late watering it again.

Coming back into my office after the plant was back to it's usual self, I realized I was pretty similar to the plant. There's times when I feel rundown, out of energy, or just in a "slump." It never fails though; someone or something comes along and re-energizes me, helping me get ready for the next challenge.
