As the magnolia blossoms fell from the trees this past weekend, a close family friend lost her battle with cancer. She was the most kindly neighbour we ever had, immensely gracious and much beloved. The good are always taken too early from us. Life can turn in such a whirl. No matter how busy you are, do take a moment to breathe in the beauty around you and hug the ones you love.
My own tiny backyard has transformed into a riot of random wildflowers reaching eagerly for the sun.
The dandelions also arrived, tossing their feathery wisps into the air.
Cheerful little fellow, this buttercup.
I'll miss you, Auntie Helen.
