When I was dating, when I wanted to be uplifted, when I wanted to see beauty, I was drawn to gladiolus. Glads are gorgeous and they keep adding blossoms.
This flower in this color got me started thinking and remembering that this flower has often marked a glorious time in my life.
When you are cutting the grass and it is hot, catching sight of this color can act like a cold drink: energizing and gladdening.
Sometimes, strange creatures visit us, like this walking stick.
