Holy Moly Guacamole!

I told Wonder Boy that there was a new field of a new kind of Macaroni that he MUST see. It wasn't Dandy -- but you just had to see it.

Wonder Girl was interested as well. I love how sometimes you get a two for one deal. Peaking the interest of both your kids -- does it get any better?

I told them it was a different kind of Macaroni -- we would need to drive there but I was low on gas for the car. We would have to risk running out, did they want to take the risk? YES!!!! Don't you just love it when your kids have a sense of adventure?

So I drove them to what had taken my breath away the other day. It was a strip of road side grass that was no longer grass. There were blooms beyond description....

The side of the road lit up as pink and red against green. The blooms blended in a surreal scene that was out of place but WONDERFUL in our suburban landscape. It was almost like a pink haze.... the rear view mirror almost captures the glory.

On the side of the road, someone had planted flowers. A LOT of flowers!

If you drove by quickly it was a red and pink blur against green....

If you slowed down you could see the majestic wonder....

Someone loved us enough to plant flowers for the enjoyment of all that drove this road and followed this path daily. I got to enjoy the blossoms which seemed to float above the grasses. My kids were in awe.


Someone planted the flowers all the way up to the tree line.

Someone reminded us to look and not touch. "Please don't pick. Newly planted and they won't return."
A reminder to us to enjoy them RIGHT now. Wonder Boy LOVED my new found flowers planted randomly on the roadside. He decided to call this new wonder Guacamole -- because Guacamole is a fun word to say, and this wonder was a fun wonder to see.
Behold the Guacamole!!! I don't know what kind of flower this is.... I wonder at the beauty and wish my windshield had been clean enough to photo the stretch of roadside transformed into spender.... behold a glimpse....
May your day bloom despite any worries or woe. Take a moment won't you? The flowers are dancing on the side of that road... Do you see them? Don't drive by too quickly.... you will miss the brief but wonderful show! I love it when we get to see the show. It is even better when you get to share it with the kids. I've called friends and told them what road they MUST drive down. Some had seen the wonder but not shared it with others... Share the wonder!
