Late Flowers

 We were shocked to see only 2 days back (14 Aug), a new gladiola bloom.  Here 'tis.

So why were we so surprised? Because these usually bloom in May, and early June. Not only did this one show up late, it blooms are quite pretty as you can see. G^d is sovereign, and things happen as He desires. What a joy to see this lone bloom in the upper flower bed.

Last year we planted a group of zinnias after they had bloomed. Today we had but one bloom, but it is a good 'un. Take a look.

We have enjoyed this summer so much and the joy of the flowers has added to it. There has been an abundance of rain, but the flowers have benefitted greatly.

Thank you L^rd for the beauty of the earth.
