I sat in my chair this morning for a long time, reading a book and drinking coffee. After it became light, I eventually walked into the living room to raise the blinds. Then to the kitchen to raise another blind. I stopped at the window in the side door to look out at the property. And this is what I saw:
A morning glory! After Don heard me say “Oh my god!” a couple of times, he came to join me. He said “There’s your blog post.”
Yep.
There are lots and lots of flower buds developing and we’re trying to outrun a possible freeze next Thursday. So in the meantime, I hope lots of flowers open. I’ll take a photo of every one of them. I used to routinely see a lot of morning glories, but for the past several years, I’ve just had the vines and no flowers. No flower buds at all. So this is a little miracle. I’d almost given up. This year, I talked myself into sowing the seeds at the last minute.
And it’s our 26th wedding anniversary today.
An anniversary flower better than any bouquet.
Happy Anniversary to us!
Stay safe.
Happy Saturday.

“It’s a sign.” My late husband used to say that a lot, and now my kids automatically say that when they see something that tells them their Dad is looking over them. The return of your morning glories, especially on the day of your anniversary surely means “it’s a sign” of a very special day indeed!
Happy anniversary, Claudia and Don.
