How is it that these beautiful blooms have so much influence over my mood?
Is it because they are so temporary...their beauty so fleeting?
Perhaps it's because they represent a new beginning...
...a time of re-birth and transition...
...and hope.
...and the sunshine...oh the sunshine!
That has more influence than anything on my spirits...
While cleaning out today, I found this sunny yellow silk piano shawl in an old suitcase in the attic.
I cannot remember now who it belonged to or how or when it came to be here.
I guess it doesn't really matter...
I hung it on the clothesline to let it air out...
... its colorful silk flowers still hold the power to make me smile!
