A SPLASH of Color... Simple Things

Friday, March 27, 2015

I've got something simple to share .... 

it's just a splash of color ...


A simple bouquet of carnations called my name ...


... and I just couldn't pass them by! 


I had to stop, and look 
and by then it was too late!


Those lovely carnations are now mine! 


Something little and simple, yet a treasure find.... 



I found this quaint poem in a collection I have 
that poetically says it all: 

Simple Things

by Beverly Anderson 

The fragrance of the early morn
The sunlight on the sill
The smell of coffee perking, and 
Outside, the robin's trill.

A friend's voice on the telephone
A child with smiling face
A letter from a loved one dear
Some flowers in a vase. 

Just little things, these treasures mine,
And yet somehow I find
They brighten my entire day
With cheer and peace of mind. 


May your day be blessed with a treasure find 
that brings "cheer and peace of mind" to you today!

    1. There are so pretty, although after reading the package they are "painted", so not their true colors, but I love them anyway! :)

  4. I was just reading your sweet comment on my blog, and I clicked on your name and lo and behold, you have a blog! I do the same thing in the flower section at our grocery, just linger for a while and smell the goodness. I loved that little poem up there too, brought a tear to my eyes. Happy Easter Week dear one!
