My Flower Bed
Coming home to my beautiful flowers makes me feel so welcome and sometimes comforted. I love spring when the new flowers are budding. I feel like everything gets a fresh new start. When I am sad, they comfort me. When I feel happy, they seem to share in my happiness. They fit every one of my moods so I guess that is why I like gardening. Every time a new flower opens, I am so excited! I don't remember even planting these yellow irises so imagine my surprise when they bloomed. I have purple irises all over my yard but I don't remember having yellow ones. It was thrilling to see something that I hadn't expected greet me when we got home from vacation. After spending 2 weeks in Utah where we saw snow and desert (which means hardly any blooming flowers), it was exciting to see the different blooms greeting us when we arrived home. I knew that some things had buds on them when we left and I felt kind of disappointed that I would miss their beautiful blooms while we were gone. I had expected all of the blooming to be over when we got back home but they waited for us. I am so thankful to get to see them.
