Amaryllis

I spent a few hours this afternoon at the Sweet Dream Amaryllis farm.  A few thousand potted lily bulbs and flowers created a haven of nature with their vibrant colors and lush greenery. 

Shelly, the owner, gave me a guided tour.  She was patiently teaching, explaining, and sharing her passion for her life’s work.  I was still preoccupied with my friend, Judi, and the farm and flowers were a beautiful reminder of hope that springs eternal.   

As I left, Shelly gave me a big hug, and a gorgeous red Amaryllis named Judith.  It was almost like a sign from above, that eventually, all will be well.
