Flowers Are Food for the Soul



Today, Writing Straight from the Heart is joining Cindy's Show and Tell Friday at My Romantic Home.

 Check out her blog to see some of the other entries for Show and Tell Friday.




The most beautiful sound in the world is a doorbell ringing to announce the arrival of fresh flowers.



















Last Saturday, while immersed in baking, cleaning, cooking, and decorating for Easter, the sweet ding dong came!  My adorable niece, who was bringing her new boyfriend to Easter dinner, sent them to me.



















Now why did tears come into my eyes when I saw the enchanting flowers?  Guess I'm a sentimental marshmallow heart but receiving flowers always makes me cry.



















The colors, shapes, and scents of flowers never cease to amaze me.


















The Creator is a wonderful artist, isn't He?  How could He create such a magnificent array for His children on earth?




















Swirls, soft petals, brilliant and pastel colors, and every possible shaped flower are part of a bouquet. It's all so breathtaking.



















Whenever your spirit feels down, and you cannot bear another disappointment, go get some flowers. They truly are food for the soul!

Dearest Susan,

Your photos AND flowers are gorgeous! It is not without a reason that the Dutch have a slogan that says: Say it with flowers... So true!

Lots of love,

Mariette
