I like plants. They bring natural beauty to my home. All things natural. Joy!
When I was a girl, I learned much about plants and gardening from my grandmother. She could make anything grow, and everything that grew in her yard and home was healthy and lovely to look at. I've mentioned this before. But it's worth repeating. Learning to successfully grow and care for living plants has made my life more beautiful.
Today I had the sheer enjoyment of dabbling a bit in things I love. Time afforded me (or dare I say I allowed myself the time to) play. With words, and camera. How thrilled I was to come across this intricate succulent hiding beneath one of my larger plants. I must stress... it blows my mind! I stared at the detail, in awe of the creativity and perfection in color, the symmetry, the texture, and beauty. And then ran for my camera!
It's very rewarding to know this beautiful living thing grew from something my hands planted, watered and cared for. As I marvel and take joy in my plants, I continue to thank Grandma for teaching me to love them.
