Fresh mallow blossoms
This morning I got out into the garden a bit earlier than usual. There were butterflies everywhere...mostly the white ones we have so many of, that contribute to the munching of some of my ornamentals. But I also saw the sulfur shown above, a couple of swallowtails (also yellow) and one skipper. None stayed in one place - most flitted over the neighbors' fence, and on from there.
Despite, or perhaps because, of the enjoyment of these early morning riches, my focus today was less on my environment than on the people that surround me. I got a couple of phone calls, took a number of texts, and had coffee with a friend I haven't seen for quite a while. I am overdue for cleaning the house, so got a good deal of that done, and while doing so, found myself in prayer for a number of people...and offering thanks for a number of people. I prefer not to include photos of individuals in this blog - I like to preserve privacy for others. But I don't want to neglect to mention the wonderful gift of all the people in my life - my friends, the congregation with whom I worship, my family, my covenant group, all those I hold dear. They are, most especially, a thing of beauty.
