Jan. 19,2013

Flowers please the senses.Their vivid colors capture your attention; their odor beseeches you to breathe deeply to enjoy the perfume. Even the softness and delicacy of the petals makes you want to gently touch the blossoms.But unfortunately, flowers are often associated only with special occasions- some joyous and others sorrowful. The stress of choosing the appropriate bouquet for a wedding or the sadness of deciding on an arrangement for a funeral, make us forget that flowers can be a cherished gift on any day of the year.

The brightly colored daisies at the supermarket caught my eye on this wintry morning. What a perfect surprise for a close friend, who, as I later discovered, needed a little pick-me-up. And so, under a steel gray sky and blustery wind, I drove to her house and presented this array of vibrant colors. You don't need a reason to offer someone flowers. They will always be appreciated.
