Daily Prompt: Blossom
each flower
a star for a time
daylilies
where once
I mourned
irises
This is a poem from late September 2015:
their flowers past
for a time and
as I return home
from the grocery store
the beauty of the plants
reaches my soul
for I too have kept
faith to flower
as I can
and grateful
to rest again
for a time
Grateful for the seasons,
Ellen Grace Olinger

Order Challenge: Garden, Holiday Plants, Beauty
The garden naturally offers examples of order. I look for beauty every day. Special days and holiday plants are part of the order of each year.

I took the photo of the forget-me-nots yesterday. Books are some of my best friends. I treasure books I have received as gifts, and I enjoy buying used books at libraries and thrift stores. This week I bought books that had been discarded, though originally donated in memory of someone. I thought, “These books have found a new home.” So many stories with blogs and books!
Peonies are growing with daylilies.
