blue plate special...

...with a flower still hanging in there

surprising me - with its everlasting endurance... through cold and snow and icy rain now in the fall... but there it was - staring me in the face - as i was out and about running errands... bright and glorious - on an overcast day - i've never seen so many blue flowers as i have this season - it made me wonder what blue is all about... you know how different colors represent different things with flowers - so for blue...

it expresses trustworthiness - confidence - intelligence - unity... hmmmm... explains why it's frequently the color of police uniforms... why the blue "power suit" is an icon of the business world - why winners of competitions receive blue ribbons... yet, in its softer hues - blue embodies the uplifting spirit of a sunny sky or soothing ocean... choose blue flowers if you want to send a message of calming beauty - tranquility and peace...

no wonder blue is such a popular color - it has an ability to inspire us while soothing the spirit... i know i felt better seeing this little gem - it immediately made for...

a

happy day.....
