Wishing you the freshness of morning dew,
the promise of bursting buds,
beauty and goodness in your surroundings and in your soul,
with colors as rich as the purple Rose of Sharon.
Moments to be cherished,
memories to be embraced,
a full life discovered…
at life in between.
Cheers & Hugs,
Jodi
the creative life in between 
The most beautiful thing I have seen this week, Jodi!
Have a wonderful Saturday!

I need this in my garden. They would go great with my purple Lantana, and Morning glories. Oh, the flower would fit nicely too. Happy weekend, Jodi! 😀
