Austin's Flower Garden

We were invited to the home of a couple from Church to view the gorgeous sunset.  Their home is even farther up the mountain than ours so I was concerned about the altitude.  Remember I recently moved here from the part of the country where the ant hills are the only mountains around. 

Well, since I did not go, Austin sent me a bouquet of flowers from her garden with Joann.  Now, that was in early May and the flowers are still on my dining room table. 

There are Lilies of the Valley and Lenten Roses.  Every time I thought they were ready to be throw away I would see another rose bud that I had not seen before.  They are withered except for that bud.  So, I will change the water and watch for another bud to appear.  If another bud does not appear after that one, I will press them in the Family Bible and always remember they were sent by Austin and Ed, our new friends. 

Love and prayers from here to there.
