May Flowers

We have been blessed with some late season rains this year. Because of that we still have some lovely spring flowers around our property.



 I perhaps owe having become a painter to flowers. 
~Claude Monet


  
Flowers have an expression of countenance as much as men or animals. Some seem to smile; some have a sad expression; some are pensive and diffident; others again are plain, honest and upright, like the broad-faced sunflower and the hollyhock.
 ~Henry Ward Beecher, Star Papers: A Discourse of Flowers


 And why are you worried about clothing? Observe how the lilies of the field grow; they do not toil nor do they spin, yet I say to you that not even Solomon in all his glory clothed himself like one of these.  But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, will He not much more clothe you? You of little faith!
Matthew 6:28-30
