Dusty and I picked out some flowers for Amy today...Nice to have some colors when everything outside is dead-looking.<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>

Those are beautiful John.. You and Dusty did good...<br>The Chrysanthemum, the Flower of Happiness, was so revered that in Japan<br>only the nobles could grow it. It has been grown for over 2,000 years all <br>throughout in the Far East. It has come to mean love and truthfulness. <br>Your words [color:red]Nice to have some colors when everything outside is dead-looking.</font color=red> are reflected in part of this poem<br><br>Ah! she is not a "Summer Friend," <br> She stays when all the rest have flown, <br> And left us flowerless and alone; <br>No singing birds, or blooms to lend <br> Their brightness to the autumn haze, <br> 'Tis she who cheers the dreary days; <br>'Tis joy to know so sweet a friend; <br> No fairer flower blooms 'neath the sun <br> Than autumn's queen Chrysanthemum. <br>__Hattie L. Knapp.<br> <br><br><br><br><br><br>
