Sunday Snapshot ... Fleeting Beauty

I looked out the dining room window early in the morning.  The sun was barely over the trees and everything was sparkling with a dusting of frost.  The pattern on the top of my pick-up truck was beautiful.

 
 
It only took a few minutes for this fleeting beauty to disappear.  As the sun rose a little higher in the sky, the frost melted and the lacy pattern was gone.
 
 

I hope your weekend is a good one.  While you are in the midst of doing whatever you're doing, take a minute to look around ... beautiful things are everywhere ... you just have to look for them. 

What am I doing today?  As soon as I am finished here, I have to bundle up in warm clothes, gather my garden tools, and hit the road toward northern Virginia.  My garden club is helping to dismantle the garden of a member who is moving.  Spending the afternoon in the company of other plant lovers, digging in dirt (and, perhaps, bringing home a new plant or two) ... what a great way to spend the day.

Happy Sunday, Everyone!

  1. What a lovely thing to gather together and help a friend move their garden. And having a piece of that garden to bring home and incorporate into your own is awesome too. Each time we've moved I've brought a bit of my old garden to the new.

    It's WAAAY too cold to do something of that nature around here today...ground still frozen solid under a foot of snow..

    Have a great day -

  3. That's where a garden club is for, helping each other when necessary, visiting beautiful gardens together, sometimes having lunch or tea together and endless chatting about our gardens, lovely!
