A while ago, I had a lovely lunch with a friend. I brought her a very small vase with a couple of dahlia blooms from my garden.
Last week at our Nia dance class, she returned the vase with these pretty pink blooms, geraniums, I think.
I put the vase in the cup holder in my van but forgot to bring it in when I got home. Next day when I got in the car the blooms were so bright and welcoming I decided to just leave the vase there and see how long the flowers lasted. It’s been seven days. They still look fresh.
Every time I get in the car they make me smile. They remind me how a small gesture can linger on and on.
