4 July 2008
I think I’ve used this cone flower as my photo during this week every year. Last year, I took a photo of it on the 10th of July. I’m not sure when it flowered, but it must have done sometime between when MB left and the 4th of July (when I noticed it).
I can’t tell you what makes a flower bloom so beautiful in the midst of our Texas drought and heat; but, it’s a beautiful sight and it makes me smile when I walk out the front door and see it. Marita Beth’s decision to plant the cone flowers in that front square garden directly in front of the door was inspired.
Cheers.

This is a beautiful photo, Kyle. Part of the reason you shoot this flower every summer, is that you know what joy it brings me to get to see the bloom, even when I’m eleven hundred miles from home! Thank you, my love.
