Patriotic Quotes and Parades
In small, rural towns patriotic holidays are parade days. With COVID-19 running rampant, there might not be so many parades this 4th of July weekend. That’s why I’m sharing this meme. That’s hubby-dear carrying the U.S. flag.

May Flower Quotes – Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr.
About the Graphic
Hubby Dear snapped this picture of a Texas Star Hibiscus with our digital camera. He has an excellent eye for capturing floral images. Don’t you think?
About the Quote
The word amen is a Hebrew word used frequently in the Old and New Testaments of the Bible. According to Bible Study Tools, the verb form is found more than one hundred times in the Old Testament and nearly seventy times in the Gospels.The Common English translations are “surely”, “truly”, and “so be it.”
People around the world say the world in personal prayer and the liturgy, affirming what is spoken or prayed. I like to think, like Holmes, that Nature also says amen or so be it with every bloom.

Flowers – Food for the Soul
About the Graphic
I spotted these little Blue Bonnets on a walk in my neighborhood. Not bad for a cell phone picture. I’m hoping the little bluebonnets will spread all along the street.
About the Quote
I spotted this quote in the April issue of Martha Stewart’s Living magazine. Spring flowers always bring a smile to my lips and I think Botanist Burbank is so correct. Flowers are food for the soul.
