Wildflowers



I saw some flowers on the side of the road the other day.

I didn’t have time to stop. Nor did I have any clippers with me.

When #2 son was a little boy he was the one that would jump out of the car for me and pick the wild flowers on the side of the road.

I would stop the car first though.

Or at least slow down a bit.

Such a great burst of color for the dining room and it was free.

But now I have to pick my own.
Well, my husband did spot the purple ones and jumped out and grabbed those for me.

It doesn’t take much to make me happy :)
