Flowers in the Field

Monday we were at the farm. As we were driving up to our plot we saw a row of brilliant yellow. Wondering what it was I went in for a closer look. Silly me I forgot how beautiful zucchini blossoms are. Next to the yellow zucchini flowers were much more delicate purple eggplant flowers. A little further away white strawberry flowers. I am feeling so blessed right now that I get to experience the beauty of creation right before me. Sorry I don’t have pictures. It is been muddy and drizzly for the past couple of days. Plus our farm hours have been packed getting ready for our first CSA delivery this coming Monday.

But seriously creation is so beautiful and amazing. We drive by an apple orchard on the way to the farm and for awhile there we enjoyed acres of apple blossoms.

But for me, by far these are the most beautiful flowers in the field. And they are my reason why.

It is so easy to get caught up in the business of the day, the work to be done and the goals to be accomplished. But then there are every day beautiful moments that surprise you and remind you that fruit comes from flowers and flowers can and do grow in fields of mud. Look for and appreciate your flowers.
