Summery Pink Geraniums

"Then followed that beautiful

season... summer. Filled was the

air with a dreamy & magical light;

and the landscape lay as if new...

created in all the freshness

of childhood."
 

~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow ~

I've written about my husband's

great-grandmother Hazel, and geraniums:

her favorite flower. Since then I've learned

her favorite color of geranium was pink. Days

ago, we visited Hazel & Kermit's graves and

planted a pair of red and pink geraniums in

their memory.  We paused to listen to a

few stories about little things he remembered

about her. She was a very special lady!

As far as the images, I designed the

first for use as a simple note card, and left

it blank so you could personalize it with

your own special messages...  I didn't have a

particular use in mind for the second image,

but thought it turned out so pretty that I

included it!  The third image is a stationery

page. Love the effect of the shadows cast by

the flower. The last geranium is a PNG file,

which means it has a transparent background.
