Blue, Purple...Periwinkle!

Last year around this time, I set about focusing on my flower beds and borders. Planted some new roses and perennials, realigned some edges and moved a few already established plants left long ago by the predecessors of my home in this beautiful valley.

I had kind of forgotten about all that work.

Then May happened,

and all the blooms have been a delightful surprise.

I have been drawn to the many shades of blue and purple all around me.

You see, Periwinkle is the color of support for Stomach and Esophageal Cancers.

That ugliness has invaded the very core of our family.

For the past several months, we have had a compassionate and knowledgeable medical care team, and help and love from dear ones at a moments notice.

Most of all, we have a Faith filled Family and a good outlook for the future.

But if a color could cure my beloved,

we have that covered.☺
