July 16, 2011 — Weeds and Beauty

We live within walking distance of a city park, so often on afternoons when it’s cool enough, we stroll down and play for a bit.  Many times my husband will take our daughter on these ventures and they always return with a flower.  She finds these flowers on the return trip.  They are often weeds – dandelions, clover flowers, blades of grass.

These clover flowers have been particularly beautiful.  I’m grateful for my daughter’s eye for beauty in the weeds today.
