Sunflowers In January




Recently flowers were planted along the sidewalk from our house to Karen and Dorian's apartment. The sunflowers are full of buds and more are popping out every day. In a couple of days they should be in full bloom.


I know most of the U.S. is a deep freeze, even as far south as Memphis, Columbus, and Baton Rouge. It has been cold here but not too cold to keep the sunflowers away. I am enjoying the sunflowers in January. I will not be here to see them in full bloom.


Marc and I are leaving tomorrow. We will fly into Baton Rouge tomorrow night, hugging on that sweet Haley. We will go on to Texas and spend time with our families and visit six churches. We then will go on to Oklahoma, Kansas, and Illinois, visiting churches and friends along the way. We will then spend some precious time with Camille. I plan on sharing Nicole's birthday with her and giving some more Grammy hugs.


I know there will be no sunflowers blooming in January in the sunflower state, or any where else we go. Though it will be quite cold as we travel, we look forward to the warmth of being with friends and families.

I am sure roses and camilias can be enjoyed in January as well as sunflowers. Also sweet flowers called Haley and Camille will be enjoyed and make me smile.

No flowers blooming here, but we have a nice warm fireplace for the cold weather and we can hardly wait for you all to get here. Actually it was mid 60's today, but who knows what tomorrow will bring in the Panhandle. Nothing sweeter and prettier than Camille and Haley. Their big smiles and hugs are more beautiful than any flower. Praying for a safe trip!
