Joy of Love day 08

What could I do? Last spring I was looking forward to the first blooms in my garden.  I particularly loved the orange tulips.  I discovered that Red liked them, too.  He came to me with a triumphant smile and my tulips clutched in his little hands "Here, Mommy!  I picked these for you!"

What a clash of feelings!  Indignation that my flowers had been picked was pushed aside to not squelch the joy in my son's face.  As I hugged him and kissed his little face I said "thank you, Sweetie"  and then another hug and a whisper in his ear "but let's leave the rest of them alone."

This post is part of the Love of Joy challenge.  Today is Day 08 and we are to post a picture showing "Love from the Heart."  I've had little time to take new pictures but found this "gift" that my son gave me.
