Just for the record of today, this is what it looks like this morning in my yard. It's beautiful and refreshing, as if to remember one of it's owners who had passed on on this day years back.

Happy Naw-Ruz!
Last weekend (3/15- 3/16) our area experienced an unusual deep frozen temperature (13-18F for two nights). All those brave flowers opened at that time as recorded in this blog below were frozen dead. I had planed to cut some beautiful daffodils in my garden for decorating my Naw-Rúz table. But this deep-dive frozen temperature killed almost all of them. I have never seen anything like this for the past 30+ years living here though we often had early spring temperature drop. I heard many friends said the same. But, there is always a "but", unbelievably, a few flowers survived. I believe it was because a prayer I said in advance to ask God to save some for my Naw-Rúz table. God is always generous in answering our prayers, however trivial. Thank you God! I just like to write down this episode in my life for future reference so I won't forget to Whom I should attribute my thanks for the blessings I received freely.
