The word of the day is blue. I found these little beauties back in the garden for a quick shot. I did Baby Bear this morning. It seemed quieter because a fair amount of the children that would have come with the moms are back in school. Makes for a much easier morning when I don't have to be the police officer, also.
Then I went to lunch with a friend of mine who worked for Comair. Worked is the operative word here as they just went out of business. So, needless to say, she is a little blue. Not what she thought would happen in her world.
Then I went to see one of my little ladies from church. She fell and broke her hip and is in a rehab facility. She was my kindergarten Sunday School teacher. She is pretty blue herself.
Like all the others, I don't know what kind of flower it is, but it is certainly quite unique and beautiful. Life can deal us many different situations and some are cause for those blue times, but I have a feeling your listening ear helped these friends of yours and meant a lot to them today.
