It is the greatest source of so much in life that makes life worth living.

Everything is simply happy. Trees are happy for no reason; they are not going to become prime ministers or presidents and they are not going to become rich and they will never have any bank balance. Look at the flowers – for no reason. It is simply unbelievable how happy flowers are.

Jerry Yang

A Little Ray of Sunshine

PS: Although the quote fits my recent circumstances I am not being melancholy. I chose the quote because the rain started just as I stepped out of my house for a sunday afternoon walk. I almost changed my mind (about stepping out for a walk)…  I am glad I stuck with my plan I experienced some delightful pleasures along my walk including this beautiful display of pink standing in contrast with its surroundings.

Despite the rain being heavy at times I remained dry :-)

Last FridayI asked Mr C to pick up a courgette on the way home from work. In addition to the courgette he presented me with a bunch of flowers. How lovely :-)
