Day 72

I think it's awesome that God gave us flowers, they decorate our lives inside and out, we use them to express everything from joy to sorrow, we put them in vases to brighten our homes, and plant them outside to brighten our yards. I don't know the names of very many flowers, and that doesn't bother me much, I like them for their looks not their names. I love all the different shapes and colors and smells, the intricate patterns of the petals, how some bloom just for a day and some for days at a time. They give the world some needed color, and sometimes bloom in unexpected places, I found this little patch of flowers along side the street on my way home from work, I was so surprised when I saw them, I had to turn the car around to make sure I was seeing real flowers, it made a long Monday suddenly much brighter. Don't you think it's funny that the first flowers I see this spring are called... snow drops!
