Our first, welcome gardenia bloomed. Pretty flower, with it's spiced perfume, and as though it weren't lovely enough, it looks just like a heart of petals. Something obliges me to say more, to explain why such a thing would make me feel thankful, renewed, but I think you probably understand, and appreciate it. We don't need to say more, only take heart.
They are making me more mindful... can't just come home, and go directly inside. Now, I stop, inhale, and fill up with a moment of gratitude and reflection: Home, sweet home~ I wish I could send a bouquet to everyone commenting~
Gardenias are special - their petals are the very definition of "creamy white" in my humble opinion. They feel creamy too, and smell so good.
ReplyDeleteYes, yes. You are so right.
DeleteI hope there are plenty of creamy white gardenias in your happy life~
Breathtakingly beautiful -- I can only imagine how much more when you have the fragrance to enjoy as well! The perfect welcome at the front foor~~~
