I like this colorful little zinnia.
Cheerful and happy in its terra-cotta pot.
Pretty.
It’s the perfect photo to commemorate my 200th post.
On a blog that I thought I’d do for a few months.
For fun.
But instead of moving on I decided to keep posting here.
Creating a quiet little spot where thoughts & friendships can grow.
Gracefully.
Rather like a colorful little zinnia.
Cheerful and happy in its terra-cotta pot.
Thriving.
