Readers of The Epic will know that one of my core principles is the existence of miracles and joyous things all around us. If we keep our eyes open we will discover many of these gems which will greatly enhance our lives.
This little bush is pretty ragged. Just a group of sticks really trying to stay alive behind my mailbox. It has been there many years now and I haven't seen it bloom in a long time. I am sure that some people would have wanted me to remove it long ago but I cannot do that. You see, my wife the Irish Redhead loved to plant things in the yard and this is the only thing I can recall that remains from her annual efforts to redecorate outdoors.
So, on Easter Sunday, I walked outside and saw these beautiful little flowers adorning the group of sticks. I'm pretty sure that she was thinking of me. I had a wonderful day Sunday and I hope you did as well.
I have not attended to The Epic or to my readers in a long time. I will do better this year. Thank you so much for still coming by.
