A Spot of Beauty

Last year I changed one habit. I got tired of the pile of random papers on top of the chest of drawers. I removed the pile and vowed to keep just that one spot a place of beauty. I filled the spot with a vase of fresh flowers.

I've kept up the practice. I haven't expanded to other piles in my house, but for now, this is enough.

Sometimes I buy the flowers. Star lilies are $3 a bunch at the farmer's market or $4 at the supermarket. They fill the house with fragrance and last about 2 weeks. Sometimes I bring in flowers and branches from outside like this one from the camelia bush that is blooming in our back yard.
