Late Bloomers

On Monday, we saw these flower bushes in front of the doctor's building. I couldn't believe they were blooming this late in the year!!

Wow, this is late in the year to be blooming. They're really pretty. They remind me of the wild rose bush I used to have. The flowers were pretty but they smelled awful.

I like that quote and it makes me think of that Bob and I talk a lot about when we see things on the news and we see the deserts that the people live in in some places and there's no trees and there's no flowers and how we would hate being in a place that had no flowers

And the air is full of leaves.
We've had our summer evenings.
Now, for October Eves."

They look like roses. Very pretty. What a surprise to see a bush of flower right now. They are all gone right now, as it's getting so cold. Flowers are the magic in our lives. Have a good rest of the week, Ginny.

Ginny, Yes, Nel wrote the book awhile ago, and finally putting the chapters out there on a podcast for people to read them. It's going well so far. Her and Jess and brother loved the Harry Potter books and movies growing up, and they've always been into the magical storybooks when they were little. Me, I like the 'fairies and enchanted woods' stories myself haha.

Have a peaceful weekend, Ginny. It's getting so cold here, in the 30's this morning when I got in my car, oh my. : )
