"Bread feeds the body, indeed, but flowers feed also the soul."
~The Qur'an
Spring flowers are in full bloom in Amman. The pictures show some of the beautiful flowers that I pass on my walk to work each day.

Flowers make everything better. I love spring and fall because of the beauty I see on my ride into work. Part of what makes winter so depressing is the barren land. It makes for a miserable commute. Now, I see the trees, flowers, and sun shining on the ocean! Lovely!!!
