The Simple Things

Isn't it nice to take the time in our busy days to appreciate little bits of beauty here and there?

Yesterday, when I was working in the garden, I found a lone Black-Eyed-Susan flower that had bent and snapped from the plant, so I took it inside and placed it in an amber colored, crackle glass vase. The way the afternoon sun lit up the flower and created a soft glow as it streamed through the vase was so pretty.

Today, when I was feeding the goldfish in our pond, two metallic blue bodied dragonflies skimmed over the water and hovered just long enough for me to get a close look at their intricate, lacy wings - beautiful! I also discovered we now have five more mouths to feed.
The goldfish had babies!
