July 9

Abby spent the night at Adam's parents' house. When she came home this afternoon, this lovely, colorful mishmash of flowers she plucked from their yard came along for the ride.

I'm used to seeing flowers, but not quite so many different kinds in the same bouquet. They're beautiful. And they remind me that beauty can come in many, many, many different colors and sizes and forms. And that is a picture-perfect kind of blessing, especially given how many aspects of this world are just plain ugly.
