Happy Pansy Smile

Isn't this an unusual picture?  I took it sometime last Summer.  I'm intrigued by the leaves of the pansy--they don't look like regular pansy leaves.  I don't remember staging this, so here you are.

It is summer now.  Today it will be 100 degrees.  I loved this pansy because of its bright smile.  Here the flower grows, thriving in the midst of fallen leaves and dried rose petals.

Hope amidst beautiful memories.

Have a lovely weekend, dear Friends.  You are in my prayers always. 

Happy Daisies

I love daisies--the big ones are fun, but the best daisies are the size of my thumb.  Here you see them cuddled in a puddle of sunshine.

Sometimes it looks like a happy gardener scattered them across the lawn with a joyous hand.  They look like starry constellations in a sea of green. When it comes time to mow the lawn, I have a hard time losing them to the mower.  (grin)

Up close, they seem to smile.  They are such a happy little flower.

Have a lovely Spring daisy day!

Guffaw

Sometimes one can catch a glimpse of a rare and true laughter. Here during our Fourth of July celebrations, I caught my brother Prentice laughing. There is nothing quite like genuine, deep, from-the-belly laughter. He lost it even more when he realized I'd taken his picture.

So here you have it! Pure happy laughter--this picture makes me want to join right in!

Daddy Update: Dad did not have any hallucinations, or sundowners symptoms the last two evenings. Thank you so much for your prayers and concern for Dad. You are all very dear.
