this reminded me
of the song
we used
to sing
as children
: : :
Lavender's blue dilly, dilly,
Lavender's green;
When I am king, dilly, dilly,
You shall be Queen.
Call up your men dilly, dilly,
Set them to work,
Some to the plough, dilly, dilly,
Some to the cart.
Some to make hay, dilly, dilly,
Some to thresh corn,
Whilst you and I, dilly, dilly,
Keep ourselves warm.

So soft and beautiful!!!! I remember this song well, they used to play it on the radio when I was growing up. Burl Ives did one of the first recordings of it, then later several people and groups re-did it.
I remember that song Susan. The picture is just stunning. The color is so lovely.
Praying you've had a rich, blessed Resurrection Day.
Pretty and fun!
happy easter!
I don't think I've ever heard it but it sounds very uplifting and for some reason, reminds me of Anne of Green Gables at a ball, maybe they played it in that scene.

Ju - I think it is some type of mum or dahlia. It is part of an assortment of flowers from the grocery store.

this flower is so full... it captures the essence of childhood.
I knew the basic portion of this song, but some different lyrics. Hmm! Now my brain is swirling around to pull them in. Hope it's not my "all night hanging out thinking" time.
What a beautiful shot. I just love it. And the new look for you blog is wonderful.

That's lovely. Soft and beautiful.

I love all the shades of pink and purple in that flower!
Love the song--really took me back. I have an unreasonable love of flowers and sunsets. Beauty put there for our comfort--never get tired of it. Quite the opposite, actually--as it is with true love ")
