A Week of Flowers

Good morning, Dear Friend!! I am back from the Festival of Flowers and have flower pictures and ideas to fill the entire week, so grab a cup of coffee.

Upon entering the show tent, we were greeted by these beautiful "ladies".......





Aren't they great!!

Until tomorrow,
Shelli

There is no such thing as an ugly woman.
~Vincent Van Gogh

The time has gone by forever when woman can be regarded as a mere ornament, and can be shut out of active life. She is not a doll or a toy. She has her duties and responsibilities. She is not born merely to be married as soon as possible, and from girlhood to consider her wedding as the goal of her life. Thousands of young women will never be married, and yet their life need not be a failure though their fingers are never circled by a wedding-ring. Women have immortal souls. Their heaven does not depend upon being linked with a husband. Every young girl should set for her great central aim in life, to be a woman, a true, noble, pure, holy woman, to seek ever the highest things. That should be her aim, — to realize in her character all the possibilities of her womanhood. Accept your duty, and do it. Accept your responsibility, and meet it. Be true in every relation you are called to fill. Be brave enough to be loyal always to your womanhood. Train your mind to think. Set your ideal before you, — rich, beautiful womanhood, — and bend all your energy to reach it.
~J.R. Miller (1892)

Do you not know I am a woman? when I think, I must speak.
~William Shakespeare, As You Like It

Sure God created man before woman. But then you always make a rough draft before the final masterpiece.
~Author Unknown
