I Have Fought a Good Fight

"May we resolve from this day forward to fill our hearts with love. May we go the extra mile to include in our lives any who are lonely or downhearted or who are suffereing in any way. May we "cheer up the sad and make someone feel glad." May we live so that when that final summons is heard, we may have no serious regrets, no unfinished business, but will be able to say with the Apostle Paul, "I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith."
~ Thomas S. Monson

Earth With Her Ten Thousand Flowers



















Anyone who knows me, knows that I cannot grow anythng but mold in my fridge, but over the last couple of weeks, I have witnessed a miracle in my front yard.........flowers!!!! And, I didn't buy them from the nursery!! My sister in law shared her tubers (?) with me and this the result. If you know about iris, you know that they are very difficult to kill, but have the nicest flowers!!! Here are some examples of the beauty that I have been blessed with.

















Beauty has nothing to do with possession. If possession and beauty must go together, then we are lost souls. A beautiful flower is not to be possessed, it's there to be beheld. … It's there for your pleasure.--Diana Vreeland
