MORE SUNFLOWER SMILES

Fame is the scentless sunflower, with gaudy crown of gold; But friendship is the breathing rose, with sweets in every fold.

~ oliver wendell holmes

Sunflowers may be scentless, but they are definitely happy flowers!

CLOUDS OF THE DAY . . .

This is what I woke up to this morning.  It's been mostly wet and dreary here for the last 2 weeks.  Today added insult to injury.  Snow is beautiful when the sun is out, but when it's just gray and foggy, not so much.

But ... this is where I'll be in about 2 weeks.  I am soooo ready!

HAVE A GREAT DAY!

We had a little visitor the other day.   And no, that's not my Artwork.  My husband decided to get handy with a marker.  :)

CLOUDS OF THE DAY ...

Isn't this amazing.  This is a sunrise here about 2 weeks ago.

I wonder what the message was here ...

Waris means desert flower. The desert flower blooms in a barren environment where few living things can survive."

CLOUDS OF THE DAY ...

O.K. ... so you have to use your imagination.  :)  This rock, and others like it, are called 'Desert Roses'. A little cloud-like in its shape, don't you think?  It looks like something left over from when the desert was once covered by ocean.  Beauty in the smallest things.
