Where Flowers Bloom
After an emotional week that began with the tears of Memorial Day and concluded with the frustration of Haditha, maybe it’s appropriate to think about these words.
“Where flowers bloom
So does hope”
-Lady Bird Johnson-
Have a safe and happy weekend

my, your up earlier than usual
And Fred, you're up earleir than I.
A good weekend to you and all as well. Thanks for your works this week.
There is always hope, better days may be slow in coming, but they will. We have lived in worse times, and we will keep going. This is America, we are still relatively free, and we can make a difference. The fact we do this is proof! Keep your chin up!
Good morning. I'm not really up yet.
Have a good weekend.
wow I feel so late...I missed the 5am crowd...thank you for your words of Hope...sometimes that is All we have...and all that matters..( I think MLK said something like that)...
Purdy!
I love those. Is that called a crokus?(sp?)
that's a daylily, sooo pretty!
have a great weekend, POP!
A nice thing to remember in these times. Thanks for the quote (although my first thought was--"Where flowers bloom, you know there is a lot of cow manure"--we've had some of that, too).
Enjoy your weekend!
Hi PoP,
I must admit that lately I have not been feeling very hopeful about this country. Thanks for the reminder.
Ahhhhhh...such feelings of serenity come from things simple and beautiful...
I think the Day Lily was Lady Bird's favorite flower.
For the younguns and those that don't know, the 1st Lady's project(1st Ladies are expected to pick one) was the "Beautification of America", and that is why as you drive across this wonderful land you see wildflowers along the interstate.
When one visits our Nations Capitol, one may want to stop at the Lady Bird Johnson Park. It's across from the Iwo Jima Statue, on the Virginia side.
I also think there are many a flower named after Lady Bird.
A wonderful quote from a wonderful 1st Lady.
Peace. Esperanza. Charité.
How nice to find something so beautiful and cheering. I always kind of liked Lady Bird and her Texas Bluebonnet project.
Thanks.
You betcha! Flowers speak to us and they always say the good stuff.
Awesome POP! I just posted abunch of pics you'll like on my art site. Wish we would get more rain to help my garden.

I remember driving the highways of Texas in the early 80's after Ladybird had beautified them with wildflowers. Amazing.
Yes, get sad, be angry ... act, but also find solace in natural beauty.
What a fine photo.
why is it so hard for us to remember that there are beautiful things out there too?
that sounds soppy. i'll regret leaving this post.

PoP...you show real balance when you remember to look at and smell the flowers after working hard all week to bring the people out of their shells.
Looking forward to another week.
Peace
