Hardy in the sun
~~~~~
When you are blessed with a weekend on retreat, time for reflection is offered in many ways. For me the pansy is a gorgeous and hardy plant. It survives in cold and heat and yet it maintains its beauty! For that I am truly grateful. Lasting through the summer and fall the pansy is a lesson in perserverence.

Thanks be to God!

ReplyDeleteA favorite flower (although we don't really see them blooming in Florida). But wonderful memories from our 'previous life."
ReplyDeleteI love those little happy flowers, I got some from my dad last fall and they survived and bloomed all winter on my balcony! (we did have a 'warm' winter...) Enjoy your weekend, love from Holland
