Help One Another

 

"Help one another is part of the religion of our sisterhood."

Louisa May Alcott

The lilacs are blooming! I love their fragrance as it fills the air. To me this signals the beginning of one of the most beautiful times of the year. Let the flowers bloom!

Service is Joy

"I slept and I dreamed that life is all joy.

I woke and I saw that life is all service.

I served and I saw that service is joy."

Kahlil Gibran

Nature notes: The yellow miniature iris plants that I brought home from my mom's before we sold her house several years ago are blooming beautifully right now. They seem to bloom quite early in the season compared to my other kinds of iris. I enjoy their cheerful color and the fine, veined lines of rust that stream out like a hearty beard.
