I really need to take time to enjoy our garden more. I’d forgotten that my Blackberry Lily was blooming until I was reading Garden Muse and saw Cindy’s pictures. I get so caught up in watering and deadheading flowers that I forget to just walk around and enjoy everything.
So of course, I grabbed the iPhone and snapped some pics.
Note to self: Enjoy the fruits of your labor and don’t forget to walk around the house at least once a day.
Happy National Pollinator Week!

The good news? Both pots of mums are the same color (I inherited the second pot). The bad news? They’re already blooming.
There are apparently a lot of reasons why they may be blooming – early season bloomers, I didn’t pinch the stems back, too much light from the outdoor light.
I’m not going to complain because they are pretty, they are similar to the mums we had at our wedding ceremony (I still wish I’d had someone save me some of those), and they fit in with the burgundy/maroontwo color scheme that I seem to have going in the yard. I’ll take what I can get – confused or not. 
This was the beginning to my day yesterday. It should have been a better day, but I’m grateful that it began and ended with beauty and love.
There are days when I don’t have the wherewithal to do much beyond feed myself and get myself to work. It was one of those days.
Sometimes you need a reminder that life is good and there will be better days.
