This week's letter is "B" -
For Buds...
What do you think of when you hear the word "Buds?"
The definition of "buds" is 1. A small protuberance on a plant; 2. Small rounded part; 3. Begin to grow.
For most of us the first image that comes to mind is this...
Our rhododendron, which is one of the first shrubs to bloom for us in the Spring.
How about those silly ear buds that come with iPods, etc. -
I much prefer a comfortable pair of ear phones that cover the ear, not get stuck into them.
"This Bud's For You..." oops only have Leinenkugels and Alaskan Amber in the frig. Better leave that one alone...
In quilting - we often make appliqued flower buds...
We can find a delicately painted rosebud on my china demitasse cup...
Even more delicate - precious baby ears - just little buds when so young...
My favorite Buds? These ladies...
We are officially called "The Garden Buds," Quilters all...friends through thick and thin...we never go dormant on each other. We enjoy one another's company - to share ideas, whether we agree with each other or not. Joys and sorrows, can I vent today?, We need a road trip or let's meet for lunch at our favorite tea shop. With these ladies, I can be myself and at the same time grow and continue to learn and be a part of friendships that have truly blossomed.
