A Difficult Day

Long story short this was not the easiest day. I’ll skip the details for now...nobody is hurt or dying so that’s good news. The really lovely part of the day was spending time with my beautiful grandchildren whom I adore. I visited with them at my co-grandmother’s house closer into the city. So I also got to spend the afternoon with her, which is also delightful. You might remember that she lives in a bit of a microclimate. And today’s (frankly an emergency) blip is of an abutilon on her front porch in full bloom! Despite everything- there is such beauty and hope in our gardens and in nature don’t you think? Apologies for the not-so-great quality of the photo!
