I pass by these bushes each Friday at work. I've never given it much thought because the cherry tree across the way is more obviously breathtaking. I find myself now saying a little hello to this lil shrub since April. It's colors of pineapple basil gelato from Royal Grinders merge with the monthly mint mojitos artfully crafted at La Isla (appreciatively consumed by my husband and me). This color has come alive - reminiscent of childhood banana slugs, Leap Lotion from the 90's Body Shop that has now been forgotten, the very first sign of new growth on my echeverias, and the inner most sacred part of my wedding bouquets. The tiny inside parts of the lilies daisies, hydrangeas, mums, and dahlias. Seeing beauty in everyday places Allowing your mind to create fantastic displays of introspective musicals; the dreamer's set design, the colors and materials of costumes, the talent. To invoke memory, invite whimsical creativity, and instill true beauty; this is The Linnet Bird.
