This is a flower on a Rose of Sharon bush from my front yard. When my grandmother died I brought two Rose of Sharon bushes from Ohio to Connecticut. Those original two have seeded many additional plants. This is one of those plants. Most of the flowers are white with a deep purple center, some of the flowers are all white. This is the first pink flower I've ever seen on any of my Rose of Sharon bushes. It makes me happy!😎
Flowers, and nature in general, are daily reminders of life going on. The world will continue, and the pandemic will pass. I look forward to a better future. ❤

Two days ago I received my 2nd Pfizer shot, then yesterday spent the entire day asleep. Sore arm, muscle aches, and deep fatigue - I'd rather have all of it than COVID! My mom died with/of COVID three weeks ago, and this week I submitted her obituary. Even though I wrote it, I can't bear to look at the published version. I also made travel arrangements to attend a cross-country service. I will only be one week into my incubation period, but I'm going to follow all protocols. I'm nervous about flying, though. I reserved a window seat with no one in the middle - I hope it stays that way.
