Honeysuckle

The day before the last day, some children were over.  They had a way about them--a way of finding every possible interesting thing that could be found.  They delighted me with their explorer spirit, and reminded me to look around for beauty, among which was honeysuckle, growing right at the back of my own yard.

Oh, to wander back there, not even close enough to touch it yet, and smell the sweetness wafting on the breeze!  Am I ever glad I didn't miss that!

Thank you.  For reminding me that in the midst of chaos and constant labor, there just may be something beautiful worth stopping for, right under my nose.
