Relishing

These hydrangeas had been in my kitchen since late Summer

….or maybe it was Fall?

Now that I think of it I may have picked the last of the good ones

right before my niece came to visit last October.

I wanted to brighten up the house with a few blossoms from my own garden.

They had given me pleasure for a long time but now they

had faded too much from being in the sunlight in front on my 

kitchen window

and it was time to let them go.

The water was still in the bottle all murky and full of sediment.

As I dumped out the water and was about to throw them in the trash I noticed green shoots

and roots had developed.

It’s not uncommon for that to happen and we root hydrangeas all the time….

just not this way.

So I will keep them a little longer….

It made me realize that seemingly imperfect things are often what can give us the most pleasure.

I just noticed that when I wrote my watermark on the last photo I

typed my name wrong.

grren instead of green.

Opps

I guess I will relish in my imperfection!

I wasn't going to post these photos after I really looked them
over.....just too washed out, kinda blah and I think I took them on a cloudy day.


Then I remembered the point I was trying to make.....
it's OK to be imperfect.




so there you go.....
