Uplifting Beauty

May flowers always line your path and sunshine light your day.
May songbirds serenade you every step along the way.
May a rainbow run beside you in a sky that's always blue.
And may happiness fill your heart each day your whole life through.
Irish Blessing

The bougainvillea have revived! I'm delighted (and a little amazed) by all the blossoms because they were in a pretty sorry state when we returned in January. Obviously, they are hardy plants and respond well to just a little bit of loving. I've loved bougainvillea since seeing them for the first time as a 16-year-old on a trip to Italy. It was March and the highway to Naples was lined with them. "How wonderful!," I thought. Now, I experience that same pleasure every morning. Is it any wonder that I am so content just sitting on my balcony, surrounded by such beauty?
