When we drove up the driveway this afternoon after school, Oliver and I stayed in the car chatting while Henry jumped out to open the door and go inside. Oliver finally stopped talking, opened his car door and exclaimed, My god, mom! That flower just appeared! It's like a magic flower! He was referring to a gladiolus at my next door neighbor's house.
We both wondered at how it could literally just appear, and Oliver bent over "like a detective" so that I could take his picture. He said this whole world is just mysterious.
"This whole world is mysterious" What a fabulous thought..So happy to discover your blog :)
ReplyDeleteIs it a gladiola? They do burst open suddenly. My flowers often give me the sense of the Mystery Of It All. Your boy is right. And very handsome. And dramatic.
ReplyDeleteHow lovely!
ReplyDeleteIt's wonderful when our kids enable us to see the magic right in front of us.
Cute picture! The flower is an unusual color...it looks like a peach hue.
ReplyDeleteYou have a very nice blog, I will be back to visit.
Way to cute, and he is right. Isn't this planet amazing.
ReplyDeleteI like Oliver and not just for his good looks!
ReplyDeleteBest,
Bonnie
What a great story and a great quote by this boy.
ReplyDeleteAwesome! I love it when kids get excited over things like this!
ReplyDeleteHe is a treasure! And that he has figured this out at such an early age, amazing.
ReplyDeleteI believe in magic flowers.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it amazing what kids can see? I realize we have the eyes to see it, too -- but I would miss so much if it weren't for my boys. They have their eyes on what's important.
ReplyDeletechildren see things we don't
ReplyDeletethat in itself is a mystery
Sweet!
ReplyDeleteThis made me smile wide.
I love him! :)
ReplyDeleteHe's absolutely RIGHT.
ReplyDeleteSmart boy. And cute too
