Let Love bloom

 It was recently Nurse Appreciation Week. 
I was in N.C. with my in-laws.  I felt like I got to experience a second Spring!!  It was beautiful.
I brought this bouquet to the nurses helping Hubby's Dad.  It started with a pot & oasis from like 2 or 3 years ago that I had sent MIL flowers in.  I used a sharpie marker to embelish it with words like Joy, Love, Peace..all around the rim.

 This is their rosemary bush.  I have to rub it and smell my hand often while I'm there.  I also have to sigh that I cannot grow the amazing herb myself??  Our climates are similar but I must not treat mine right.  I probably give it too much attention & water and she just ignores this and look at it!!  Our bouquet was stuffed full with this as the base.  It smelled divine.  She picked it herself!

 She got 3 rose bushes from the woods years ago and they all bloomed while I was there.  I learned for the 1st time this trip that this is called 7 sisters and it is such a sweet lil rose.  The smell is ever so sweet but very faint.  It grows in clumps.  It went into the pot too. lol

Then, I took a 1 mile hike to the road to collect the daisies and yellow wildflowers.  The smell of honey-suckle where I was picking the flowers was heady!!  It took me right back to my childhood at my G-parents home that had a huge bush.

She even had a floral pick for us to prop our butterfly card onto.  It felt right to put this together and give it.  I wrote a scripture inside to thank them for their selfless service to others.

Choose Love & Grace!!  It changes the atmosphere!!  I really got to see this in a special way...even thru this simple act.
