Pretty Peonies? Yes Please!

These pretty peonies were given to me last Monday. As if Mondays aren't crazy enough...this monday happened to be particularly busy. I worked all day, had lunch plans, and then a meeting that evening. At the meeting my pastor's wife handed me this beautiful bouquet of flowers for my desk. I've had the opportunity to watch them bloom all week! They give a great scent to the office too...because youth supplies (old soccer balls, weird food items, etc.) can sometimes give off a funky smell. At my busiest time this week I was quite literally reminded to stop and smell the flowers. So that's just what I did.
