Daily Graces Return #444

I found this photo of some of the roses from my California garden. It was also nice yet bittersweet to see the sweet vase I had them in. I had a wonderful collection of vases I loved using for my roses and other flowers. I am looking forward to the lovely flower gardens we will begin getting planted in our Oregon garden in the next few weeks. I love gardens!! Will need to begin a new vase collection…

DG Return #62 copy

A book I recently started reading inspired this Daily Graces piece. Entitled La La Lovely (The Art of Finding Beauty in the Everyday) by Trina McNeilly. I have been marking many quotes and I am only a few chapters into the book. I love books that have lots of meaningful sentences and phrases. I will probably be featuring several of these in the upcoming Daily Graces pieces.

I am still struggling to adjust to Colorado. Unfortunately the weather and drought conditions make for many fires and unsettling conditions. Having lost all to fire just months ago makes me feel anxious and in a state of danger more times than not. That is why I am enjoying this new book so much- I need the encouragement and the distraction.
