Wordless Wednesday-Nature's Beauty

Roadside Beauty

I love living and driving in the country for many reasons. The top on my list right now is to see all the beauty along the road! The ditches are full of wild flowers in the spring and summer :)

Here are a couple of pictures I got yesterday on my drive home from an appointment:

Now...if I could just figure out how to get these to grow in my flowerbed the way they grow in the ditches :)

The Beauty of a Weed

Jesse and I got to talking the other day about how windy it has been lately and how hard it is to get the yard sprayed for weeds and bugs with all the wind. I had to tell him that I really wasn't disappointed that the weeds weren't gone :)

Tell me...does this look like a weed to you? Or do you see beauty as I do :)

Now those darn bugs...I hope he can spray for those soon!!!

Wordless Wednesday-True Beauty

Beauty All Around Us!

It is so great to finally have nice weather here in Iowa for a few days. With all the rain and storms we've been having, it has made me realize how much I love getting outside in the beautiful weather. On my jog this morning, I started to look around and notice all the beauty right in front of me. Everywhere I looked there were beautiful flowers. I also saw some pretty wild cats and a deer. Nature is so great! And the jog alone is just so peaceful in the country :)

After I got back from my jog, I knew I wanted to get some pictures of the pretty flowers I had seen. I decided to get a little more exercise and take my dog for a walk to see the flowers. I thought I'd share them with you as well :)



These may just be weeds to some, but this quote came to my mind the whole time I was out today: "May all your weeds be wildflowers!" So next time you have the opportunity to get out and enjoy the beautiful weather, take time to notice all the wonderful things around you...and don't forget to grab that camera!
