pansy unfurling

"Today is my day to dance lightly with life,
sing wild songs of adventure,
invite rainbows & butterflies out to play,
soar my spirit, and unfurl my joy."

LOVE these pansies ... the favorite flower of a dear friend who has passed away from cancer. Gorgeous colors and so bright and cheerful. Just like Rosemary was. She did love life and enjoyed every moment spent with her flowers ...just like your comment by Huie.
