Funny, how purple cauliflower can literally make you feel happy. I can't help myself, isn't it just Gorgeous?
It is such a perfect contrast to this day of grey overcast skies,and the creeping chill from all the mist............ and it's Monday, too.
I don't know why Monday's seem to be difficult days for me. Many weeks I determine that this WILL be a good Monday, and some Mondays DO go better than others. Still, Mondays have to be my least favorite day of the week.
In less than the very best of humors, I went out to find a veggie for dinner, and instead I found beauty. I can't help loving purple cauliflower. This particular heirloom seed was shared with me last June, - Purple Sicily Cauliflower. I didn't know just how much I would love it. I really planted it just for fun and variety.
But I Do LOVE it, it is so determinedly bright and cheerful in the middle of so much grey and brown.
Right there in the garden I stopped and I thanked God for reminders of Him, reminders of beauty and glory in the most unexpected places and I took a little soul lesson from my purple cauliflower.
I found nourishment for our bodies, and for my spirit, too.
It really is the little things that make up the bulk of our lives. I continue to learn what it means to truly live well and fully, and the answers are, most often, surprising.
Finding happiness in the midst of our days is one great way to being like Jesus.

I love your blog. I don't make it here as often as I'd like, but when I do, I'm always blessed by your thoughts and photos. I wish we were neighbors. :-)
