Beautiful, bountiful begonias

When we went and visited with my parents last week, I was presented with a gorgeous planter full-to-the-brim with begonias! My father planted this for my birthday about a month or two before my birthday.

I love this planter. It sits on the porch near the front door. It is the first thing I see when I leave home and it just adds so much color and happiness!

Today was a day filled with remembrance. It is hard to think about so much death and destruction ten years ago. My heart and prayers go out to those who remain....
