“It is something to be able to paint a particular picture, or to carve a statue, and so to make a few objects beautiful; but it is far more glorious to carve and paint the very atmosphere and medium through which we look, which morally we can do. To affect the quality of the day, that is the highest of arts.” ~ Henry David Thoreau ~
I filled the yard and planter boxes with purple flower bulbs last fall, as a memorial to my friend Sherry, and to my big sister Suzy, both of whom passed away in 2007 from recurrences of breast cancer.
Spring 2008 is my Purple Memory Garden Spring.
When I left my job yesterday, driving out of the parking lot, I noticed the trees abloom in the park across the street. So I went to the park.
That's a Ring of Fire daffodil.
