BEAUTY IS THERE.....

.....if only we look for it.

Today, I needed to see this beautiful Iris, a reminder that Spring is coming.

If we had no winter, the spring would not be so pleasant:
if we did not sometimes taste of adversity,
prosperity would not be so welcome.
Anne Bradstreet

Thank you to everyone who commented and wished our son a happy 40th birthday yesterday. I am grateful for so many caring Blip friends.
