On Saturday we were at a small, "intimate", responsible (for August 2020) children's birthday party. We are not the type of people to rock boats and break the rules. It was kept small, distanced, and for the children. 

Observing the grounds, I noted several wonderful flowers (and a few more items). Upon asking if it was okay to take a few photos, the apologies came forward. "The flowers weren't watered while we vacationed". "Our flower boxes look awful".

For me, this is a challenge. I determined to show how wonderful these items are. Even the tomatoes produced! (See what I did there?)

These are also an illustration of what is important in 2020. It's the little things that count. There is beauty everywhere. We don't need a lot to be great. Appreciate what is around us and each other.
