Tall red poppies bloom against the brick remains of an old homestead A couple of weeks ago, John and I hiked in Alpine, Utah, to see the poppy gardens near the old Lambert homestead. We knew if we waited, we would miss the peak of the flowers. One minute, flowers are blooming, and the next minute, that particular floral show is over until next year. The Ten Things of Thankful blog hop runs every week, but sometimes I miss the boat and don't get a post composed. I find, though, that those weeks that I do join in, I'm more apt to look for (and find!) the good in life--regardless of whether it was a "good" week or a "bad" week.

If it's at least a year, one of the best gifts a friend of mine gave her daughter......she spent the year purchasing/collecting beautiful holiday decorations and gave them as a gift. What new bride has the time, inclination, or money to decorate for the different holidays, right? I thought it was genius!
