This was an easy prompt for me. I love flowers and take lots of pictures of them. Thanks for the prompt that got me writing early this morning. https://reflectionsontheteche.com/2021/05/27/sosmagic-flowers-in-my-photo-app/

I wrote this end-of-the-school-year reflection on Tuesday and will share this. But, I want to come back and share a flower story because some stories are so special and are worth sharing over and over again.

End of year reflections are so important. I too worked mostly in-person this year and soon can look forward to next year full of smiles.
I love your quote on your blog – Your biggest commitment must always be to yourself! I LOVE THAT! I always have summer projects centered on school. This year my summer project is ME!

Love that peony, Nanc! So beautiful! – The end quote really bolsters me – He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes[a] so that it will be even more fruitful— John 15:2 –

What wonderful memories. Love this: As I walk through my gardens, I realize they hold a bouquet of memories – a life in flowers that is still growing. – This idea of a life in flowers!

These are Japanese Fruit Sandwiches (Sandos) that look like flowers. They were easy to make and they helped Hadley get out of her COVID doldrums and back to curiosity and creativity! I have to eat gluten-free, but Hadley said they were DELICIOUS!
