In praise of yellow flowers

Sometimes a flower can capture sunshine. Such is the case with Norm's favorite yellow rose bush, which is at its peak right now. Although it is an ever bloomer and will bloom again. It glows in the back garden even on a rainy day.


The yellow columbine blooms in the rock garden out front, long after most columbines have gone to seed. It, too, is a perfect yellow that gives a sunny greeting every time we enter the driveway.

Despite being 13 inches over "normal" in rainfall, our blooming plants have brought us a lot of joy this year. Today Norm mowed the grass and cleaned out the van in preparation for our upcoming trip to the Linville reunion. We are sad that Walt won't be able to attend but our thoughts and prayers are with him for his back surgery, scheduled for next week. May this procedure give him relief from pain without any more complications. As the reunion progresses, we will post updates as we are able.
