This is the time of year when many Writing Straight from the Heart posts feature flowers.
That is certainly true this year and then some.
Right now, the house is filled with flowers of every color, size, fragrance, and description.
It feels like a flower shop in here.
Flowers lift the spirit and gently touch the human heart with their beauty.
Many of the flowers surrounding me right now were given with generosity, kindness, and love from dear friends and family members, so they are even more special than usual.
If it were possible, I'd share all of them with you!
DO YOU LIKE FLOWERS? WHY?
This is beautiful time of year.
I love June. Everything is so alive and coming into bloom.
This year, I was going to put red geraniums in two big pots at the tops of our stairs but when I saw the fire-engine red begonias, I bought them instead.
I poured a hot pepper flake solution on them so the squirrels wouldn't eat them for lunch.
So far so good.
The plant shown at the very top of this post and below bloomed in our small round flower garden in the front yard and was quite pretty.
I think they are alliums but please correct me if I'm wrong.
The uncontrollable hostas, of course, are letting guests through to the front sidewalk but might eventually block them.
There's big white bush in the front yard, name unknown, that's in full bloom.
Of course, the rhododendrons make me sigh with delight every time I walk out the front door.
It goes without saying that I am deeply grateful for all of these blooming beauties.
Being surrounded by so much loveliness makes me very happy to be alive.
Do you feel that way, too?
Today we are joining Home and Garden Thursday on Kathy's blog, A Delightsome Life. Thanks for hosting, Kathy.
WHAT IS BLOOMING WHERE YOU LIVE?
