I have recently decided that azaleas are nothing short of amazing. Last week, as I passed the bushes that flank my front door, I noticed the beginning of buds--barely opened flowers on a dismal day in April. Just a few days later, the bush seemed to spring to life, giving vibrant, relentless and shameless color to my front yard.
I was entranced by this miracle of nature. What a delight for the eyes!
Today, as I passed the same bushes, the rain, wind and sun had eliminated these short lived wonders. The explosion of color had fizzled into dull and listless pastels.
May we never take beauty for granted. May we savor each moment. May we enjoy the amazing azaleas that greet us each day.
