Bachelor Buttons Teach Me Patience
These two flower picture are bachelor buttons, my daughter took them using her hand to show them upclose. They took forever to bloom and at one point I thought about pulling them out because they looked more like grass, then a flower. They remind me a lot like carnations. I guess the long wait was worth it after all. It shows a lot that patience does pay off in many instances. Patience is not something I’m very good at in many ways. Somewhere I read that patience is a virtue- It seems to be so true. Having a child whose got ADHD teaches you patience in many ways, Its something I’m thankful for each day.

I remember a saying from when I was a child. “Patience is a virtue. Possess it if you can. Always in a woman, never in a man.”
I’ve tagged you for an award on my blog. Check it out you deserve it!

I commend your patience. I on a regular basis say that “Patience is a virture I do not possess.” Between lupus and my girls I am learning to be better about this. Your garden looks beautiful.
Have a pain-free day.
