Sights to gladden the heart

A birthday gift:

People from a planet without flowers would think we must be mad with joy the whole time to have such things about us.
~Iris Murdoch, A Fairly Honourable Defeat

More flower quotes here and another picture of the flowers.

A new addition to the family (alas, not here but my stepson and the granddaughters up north):

Life without flowers would be terribly sad. Perhaps we are part butterfly, bee and hummingbirds? And the round stamp - a great idea - lets hope for triangles and other fun shapes - little rugby player shape stamps? Cuddle to puppy.
