Flowerbeds

Patio Flowerbed

Springtime is here with Summer knocking on the door and with it, time for planting.  We've been busy the last few days creating this flowerbed off the patio (incorporating existing plants and building the flowerbed around them).  Plus, my mother-in-law built 2 more flower beds while we were out of town last weekend.

Creating a flowerbed takes a lot of time and work; you've got to prepare the space, plan things out, and pick out the right mix of plants.  Once planted, the flowerbed still requires time and attention to look its best.

Life is much like that flowerbed.  To get beautiful results out of it, you've got to give it time and attention.  That can be many different things, depending on the person, such as healthy eating, exercise, spending quality time with family and friends, etc...  In the rush of life, don't forget about your flowerbed.

Dancing in Puddles

Because sometimes you need to just dance and play in puddles rather than avoid them.  I think that oftentimes we get so caught up in the storms of life that we forget that they can bring good things as well, even if they are disguised as puddles.
