New Life!

I've decided that I love, love, love SPRING! It’s such a wonderful season of new life. I never really appreciated it until I had a home of my own, and could watch things come to life.
I especially love the perennials which bloom each year without fail. Tucked under mounds of snow and out of sight for months, and yet when spring arrives.... new life!

This week my Eternal Iris bloomed. My sister-in-law gave one to each member of our family five years ago when my grandma died. Each year when it blooms, I'm reminded of the very special bond I shared with one of the most important people in my life. Although she's gone now, this lovely flower reminds me each spring of a very special lady.

Miss you, Gram!
