Weeds and Wildflowers
Nature fascination
Wildflowers galore
Summer skies turbulent
Sunshine hiding there
Weeds in the garden

I will sing

Back in the 80's my sis had a business called "Weeds and Wicker" (dried floral design). Your post reminded me of it. In those days we would go to the fields and meadows, collecting dried weeds, wheat, and such to make into beautiful flower arrangements. Then silk flowers became popular...
Many things bring great delight to me: tea, gardens, flowers, outdoors, food, and friends that cross my path. These all make my heart sing with small chuckles, giggles, laughter, and tears. It is my desire to seek beauty all around me.
