I drove a lot this week. The best part is seeing all of the wildflowers. They bring the colors of the world to life. In one view, I saw Bluebonnets, the light purple vervain, the yellow and the pink “buttercups,” the salmon-colored Paint Brushes, the yellow red and browns of the Indian Blankets, the fuchsia colored Paint Brushes and white “Butterfly Weed.” All looked so beautiful together, on their background of green.

Sorta how people come together and each contribute to the beauty around them.
