It's Saturday morning. A weekend to myself and my Yorkie, StarDust!

We went for a short walk in the meadows where there are flowers of all sorts.

This is what I would refer to as an "urban meadow". People would stick or plant in the ground whatever they have left over of flowering plants. And they would thrive.

I don't know the names of these flowers. I just enjoy them, so does StarDust. They are lovely in the mornings (and the afternoons, and evenings).

Flowers are restful to look at. They have neither emotions nor conflict.¹ They just grow to give happiness and joy.

These appear to be carnations. Pink carnations!

I know that Pink Carnations are the color of a mother's love which makes them perfect for Mother's Day, which is coming up soon.

There is a bunch of carnations growing here. Oh, wow!

These are deep red carnations.

According to a Christian legend, Carnations first appeared on earth as Jesus carried the Cross. Carnations sprang up from where the Virgin Mary's tears fell as she cried over her son's plight. Miss. Anna Jarvis (The Founder of Mother's Day) used Carnations at the first Mother's Day celebration because Carnations were her mother's favorite flower.
