{looking up}

Unexpected.
The drive by.
Unexpected.
The brief exchange of hellos & howsyoursaturdays
Unexpected.
This most beautful of yard clippings.
Unexpected.
Just exactly what I needed from a friend.

{looking up}

Floppy and feathered.
Frivously full.
Flavorfully fragrant.
Flirtatiously fun.
Forever fragile.

Me and the Peony.
Unexpected.

Ruts run burrows through my bones at times it seems.
And unexpectedly, I am there.

The words of a friend.
Unexpected.
They hugged around my heart.
"I am here for something so much greater than me."
They're hugging still...
Unexpected.

The pull and the prod
The push
The I love you and you can...
My husband
Unexpected.

Keepers.
Neighbors turned so much more.
Unexpected.

The talk over coffee.
The friend with a belly full of little girl.
{McKenzie Grace}
Unexpected.

Unexpected is the Peony.
Forever fragile.

But expected...

Floppy and feathered.
Frivously full.
Flavorfully fragrant.
Flirtatiously fun.

Me and the Peony.

God and His gloriously infinite details in my life.

He's got me...
