Summer Love!

What an absolutely gorgeous Summer day we had on Saturday. The sunshine brought people out by the droves. Oh what a fun day at the Farmer's Market in so many ways. My Petra's Petals were going home with someone new to love them, and I met some amazing people. Flip-flops, tank tops, shorts, hats, ice cream cones, strawberries, raspberries, bunches and bunches of fresh cut flowers and painted faces were some of the delightful things I enjoyed watching coming down the sidewalk.
I had many wonderful conversations one of which rings in my heart that I would love to share with you. It was after 3:00 and the main Market was closing up when an elderly lady approached my table of Petra's Petals. She grabbed one up and held it a couple of inches from her face and exclaimed how beautiful it was. She continued to do so with just about every one of them! She loved them all and could not decide which one to get for her husband. As she examined each one from all angles she shared with me how her husband has cancer and is in the hospital with the flu waiting to get healthier to have another surgery. My heart stood still for a moment as my eyes were affixed on her...letting the world pass by in a blur around me. I listened to her pain but at the same time I heard and felt her love for her husband. I learned how he loved flowers and how he was a sensitive and loving man. As I wrapped her Petra's Petals I told her I would say a prayer for her husband and asked his name. A tear fell from her eye when she said, "Tony".  I don't know about you but when I see a tear in someones eye my tears want to join them...so they did. Please join me in sending up your prayers and thoughts for Tony.


I want to thank everyone who stopped by my table...thank you for loving my Petra's Petals as much as I do!!!

Look closely to see if the petal you took home is in my photo!
