Seven More For Sanity and Sadness' Sake

So, one isn't a sunflower, but it was a nice surprise. A pretty little butterfly (or maybe a moth) fluttering down to say hello and then running off just as quick.

I know I posted seven photos earlier today, but loved the darker contrast of this set. I love the orange and red hues that change everyday.

Taking these pictures and looking at them is my stress relief, and goodness knows I need it. I am so grateful for being able to replace my camera battery.

I am glad for the pictures, but most glad for the flowers. If I didn't have my garden, I am not sure what would keep me sane some days. These are so beautiful to me, Their bright and dark faces shining at the sun. I am excited to know that many more blooms are coming around the corner.

I don't even have the energy to type it or the inclination to wax on about it to the world, but my heart is heavy these days, making these gestures of beauty in my life all the more important. Some one I love dearly will be gone from my life soon, and that is just so . . . . . What can a person even say or do about that?

Blessed be to all of you, and please- tell the ones you love that you love them. In fact, don't just tell them- show them. Somehow, let them know.

(and I don't know why this formatting is so nuts but I give up!! It isn't stress relief when it is causing you blogging stress!)
