Never give up

We bought and planted some beautiful flowers last spring. They had such a gorgeous color but they didn't last long because Miss Kenna decided to pick off all the flowers. We never got anymore flowers from it after that and it literally looked like it had died. But for some reason I would still give it a drink of water because....you never know. Now that the weather is warmer, I put the pot aside to put something new in it. Before we knew it, some green started sprouting from it. Travis thought they were weeds and even sprayed some weed killer in it (I didn't know this because I was still watering it:) My watering paid off because we started getting some buds!!

And now we have beautiful flowers again!! And Makenna has been told not to pick them! :)

So, this reminded me to never give up on things. You don't know what beautiful things will come if you keep at something!
