“The power of finding beauty in the humblest things makes home happy and life lovely.”
Louisa May Alcott
“No spring nor summer beauty hath such grace as I have seen in one autumnal face.”
John Donne
(the fallen late blooms of the meyer lemon tree and an oak leaf float in a bucket of water / Julie Cook / 2014)
When might debris in a bucket deep,
take on such beauty doth to keep?
Which floats upon a surface sweet,
while wind and rain so strangely meet.
In Autumn’s late grey days of myth and lore,
as light doth fade forever more.
Be quick to see all who so chose,
for beauty hides just under your nose.
Blessings for a Tuesday full of surprising beauty and joy
For thus says the LORD that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I am the LORD; and there is none else.
Isaiah 45:18
