Be careful what you ask for

Shelton and I had been married a short time when I came home one day to find our living room full of flowers. Not one arrangement but several.  We were living in an apartment while looking for a home to purchase.  He knew how much I loved flowers ...maybe because I had told him he would have a hard time finding someone who loved them more.  Did he ever surprise me!!! 

The first thing we did when we moved where I still live today was to begin planting in the vacant yard we came to call our “Secret Garden”. 

This morning as I looked out the window of my former bedroom turned office I am reminded that Shelton isn’t the only one who sees to it that I have flowers.  I’ve never considered myself to have a “green thumb” but I know someone who does and boy does He love to show off.  His gardening palette is simply amazing.  I’m a lucky woman to be given such beauty to share.  Looking back I am so glad I expressed (loudly) my love of flowers.
