On Saturday I visited Swan Island Dahlia Farm here in Oregon. I snapped about 80 pictures; so I am sure you will see more another day. I felt like the two that showed the sky that day perfectly fit the poem.
Over the Weather
We forget about the spaciousness
above the clouds
but it's up there. The sun's up there too.
When words we hear don't fit the day,
when we worry
what we did or didn't do,
what if we close our eyes,
say any word we love
that makes us feel calm,
slip it into the atmosphere
and rise?
Cream miles of quiet,
Giant swoop of blue.
~Naomi Shihab Nye
Do you love dahlias? More and more I have fallen in love with them.
It was a perfect day to wander the farm full of flowers.
Dear ones, Go out there and find a flower and spacious skies today and ENJOY!
