Just this week I've noticed these beautiful wildflowers are blooming on the sides of roads.
When I noticed them for the first time Friday in Mitla & then again Sunday, I wanted to take a picture, but we were driving past too fast...Then, I noticed on the way to/from school Mon & Tues that there are some on that road too. So, I thought I'd walk out of school during one of my free periods & take a few pics. Who was I kiddin? Anyone who knows me knows that I work straight through every single break I have! SO ~ today was an especially long, tiring day...when my Wednesday ride picked me up & we were walking to the car in the parking lot, he asked me how my day was. I replied, "It was ok, but it was long & I'm tired." I didn't feel like smiling, I didn't feel like chatting... So, we get in the car & are driving down the first road & the wildflowers caught my eye again. I said to him, "Those flowers are so pretty." He smiled & said, "Yes, yes they are." I added, "I wish I could pick them!" He said, "Do you want to?" Before I knew what was happening, he was reversing & parking the car! We both got out of the car & picked a handful! He gave his to his 5-year old daughter. I gave her one of mine & then held them the entire 25 minute ride home, with a huge smile on my face! It literally made my day ~ maybe even my week? Suddenly, I was in a better mood & we chatted & laughed the whole way home. I just couldn't believe it when he suggested actually picking some, & I was even more surprised that he picked some too. They are just so pretty! :)
