Wildflowers

I received flowers!

From a little 5th grader boy. In fact he has given me wild flowers for three days in a row. And he chooses his flowers artistically. Tall light pink flowers and small purple flowers and cheery yellow flowers. He hands them to me shyly as he goes across the crosswalk and is so pleased when I put them in my breast pocket.

The rice fields and forest paths abound with flowers and but the little boy's flowers seem especially beautiful.
