September 23

I was depositing some cardboard in the recycling bin in our side yard this afternoon when the little flowers on one of our plants caught my eye.

Purple is my favorite color, so the bold, beautiful vibrancy of the blooms stopped me in my tracks. I stood there for a moment admiring the buttery centers and the delicate petals, and then snapped a pic for posterity.

I am grateful for the way that rich, saturated color brightens my life each day.
