Fire Flower Heart -Guest Heart Thursday

I went on a day trip to The Dalles in Oregon's spectacular Columbia Gorge.  I had not visited there in spring before.  What a beautiful sight--there were flowers everywhere.  I found this fiery flower heart on the hills where a real forest fire raged late last summer.

Here's a closeup of this wonderful flower.   Such a beautiful blossom--so bright and bold in the sunshine.

As you can see--the flowers on the hillside are just incredible.  Can you find the fire flower?  Just a spot of red amongst the yellow blooms.

Pink Queen Anne's Lace - Guest Heart Thursday

Here is another photo of the pink heart-shaped Queen Anne's lace.  How I love that wild flower.  This one is so soft and pretty.

This week we learned that my husband has cancer.  Early next week we will be going to the doc to discover what our options will be.  This is a frightening time for us--yet we trust in God.  "'For I know the plans that I have for you,' declares the Lord, 'plans for good and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.'" Jeremiah 29:11

God bless you all, dear ones.  Joy is not far away.
