September 2023 Calendar

Hello! Happy September, my friends, fall is approaching! With the coming change of seasons, I like to sneak away into the backyard and spend my time thinking about what an interesting world we live in. I often think about the magic of flowers. In our garden we have some flowers that I buy from a nursery, ones we have planted from seed, and then there are some flowers, like this one, that just showed up in my yard this spring. It makes me wonder, where did the seed come from that grew this ursinia? I imagine that maybe it blew into the yard on a windy day and then has it been just waiting for the right amount of rain to come in and nourish that seed. The conditions were just right then to bring this delicate flower to life. But then I start to ponder, how many more seeds are just waiting to come to life and bring beauty to the yard?

Well, this wasn’t meant to be an analogy for how each one of us is affected by the little things that happen to us and can bring out something new and unexpected! But I guess it was the connection that I, myself, needed to hear. I encourage you, and me, to be on the lookout for the little things blowing our way this fall!
