Image by brx0 via FlickrI see beauty in fields and trees and flowers. My mother taught me to see beauty where ever I happened to be. Yesterday I discovered that I have a beautiful flower on my fence. I didn't know what kind of vine it was. It has large dark green leaves, and it climbs the fence. Yesterday I finally saw the intricate and delicate blossom of the Passion flower. I can't believe I just thought it was some nameless green vine.Earlier I had removed all of last year's growth, but I didn't know what it produced. Now I have a whole new appreciation of my back yard. I just moved to this house in April. This discovery spurs me to regard my yard with admiration. I may even try to enjoy it more. I would really like to focus on the lovely purple blooms. I don't think they do well when picked, so it will be admiration on the fence, but maybe I can sit in the yard in the cool of late afternoon and enjoy the aroma and appearance of nature in my own space. I think my mother would approve.
