--I Heard Her Telling Her Cat!

--SOMEONE CARES~
---PASS IT ON! ~~

--STILL BLOOMING~~

--"Do you want these?" My friend Kristie, a florist, was cleaning out her shop's cooler to make room for new arrivals one day last summer. The flowers were still beautiful. I walked out with a bouquet in hand.

I felt a nudge to take it to my friend Gloria, who lives alone. As soon as she saw the flowers, tears welled up in her eyes. blush "Did you know it's my birthday? she said. I had no idea.

Since then, I've looked forward to whenever Kristie lets me know she has flowers to give away. I put roses on a neighbor's front porch and handed flowers to three other neighbors. One lady was so excited, I heard her telling her cat! smile

The flowers I don't take, Kristie brings to nursing homes. I think we get more joy than the recipients do! smile
