A Spot of Beauty

A few days ago, when Adam and Julia went out to get more packing boxes, he returned with these, for me:
Isn't that sweet? Yes, I admit, he's one of "those" husbands -- the kind who brings you beautiful things at an unexpected moment. The house is a total wreck. Boxes, boxes, boxes. The corners and furniture tops are dusty. Miscellaneous objects sit in odd places, waiting for a spot in a box to open up. I have no idea what we'll eat. But there on the dining room table are flowers. A spot of beauty in a (temporarily) chaotic life.

Thank you, dear.

Oh, yes. You DO have a sweet hubby! You're strong. It doesn't seem like all the packing is getting to you.
