Glads for My Sister's Birthday


*********************

Today's my sister Melanie's birthday. She has always loved gladiolas. I can't say I've ever been a big fan; at least not when I was younger. Perhaps I was more into the neutral understated wildflowers at the time and like Birds of Paradise, gladiolas have an amazing way of demanding attention. They are loud, colorful and beautiful, which is befitting of my sister, in more ways than one. Another thing I might add, my sister is the spitting image of Nonnie, our grandmother, and just as fiery. Happy Birthday Mel!
