Fields of Gold

Look who's waking up!

Along a garden wall by my room, one of my most amazing coworkers has this garden... and the African
Daisies are just popping up, stretching and yawning and sunning their beautifully sweet, golden faces towards the sun!! I can't resist them! So I grabbed my camera and hopped up on the wall to get this shot.

They bring me joy!

I'm also partial to the title 'Fields of Gold'... you know the song by Sting.. ? To me, it is the most beautiful love song of all... I remember one time...driving from Cordes Junction into Prescott Valley... a friend with me... we were on a road trip for the day. This song came on the cd and I just began to cry... then weep. She wondered if I was ok, and I said I was... but my heart was longing for what the song embodied... Despite that moment, I am able to love the song for what is says...

These little cups of sun are my gift to you this day...


when I choose joy...
I enjoy!

OH how beautiful, there are little yellow flowers blooming in my yard too...I remember driving down your way and having it be yellow bug season...lol!

What a beautiful story about the song and the flowers and all, I love it when I am touched that deeply by a song, and it's so wonderful to remember all of those times...

Thank you for sharing!
