Hi Pat...so you are of Irish decent! My DH & I married on ST. Pat's Day 40 years ago this year...watch for a special post about that...We're both Heinz 57, so I don't know if we have any Irish in us or not...but, isn't everyone Irish on March 17th! ;-) Bo
Very peaceful and serene feeling. I hate local Chinese graveyards, it gives a very scary and eerie feeling, but Christian graveyards (sorry, I assumed it was taken there..) are totally peaceful. Love the angel :D
A most beautiful quote, Pat...Angels and spirits are everywhere in nature! :o) That angel ties in so perfectly with the sentiments here...very humbling and inspiring--thank you! Happy week, my friend ((HUGS))
Pat, I loved this Peaceful Sunday post... The photo of the angel was gorgeous, and the poem was just beautiful! Thanks for sharing... Donna @ An Enchanted Cottage
Sorry about my previous reference to you as Mille, moving too fast, I guess to catch your real name.
Love this angel post. I do adore angels. The statue is gorgeous and definitely gives us pause to ponder the sacred -- especially those evidences of the Holy that may not be seen by the eye, but felt in the heart -- like angels!
Hello and welcome!
I'm Pat, a lifelong New Yorker who has recently moved to a suburb of Denver in the beautiful state of Colorado, so that I can live close to my children and grandchildren. I look forward to learning many new things about my new "mile high" city and I will share them on my blog.
New York City will always be my second home, and I will also continue to share many posts about it.
My blog's name in Italian means a "Thousand Favorite Flowers." I chose this unusual blog name because researching and writing for my blog, and taking photogrpahs for it, is like another "memory flower" that I am collecting in my bouquet of life.
I hope you will enjoy your visit to my blog and that you will leave a comment so that I know you've been here.
Thanks!

Rocky Mountain National Park
And our first pure mountain day, warm, calm, cloudless, - how immeasurable it seems, how serenely wild! I can scarcely remember its beginning. Along the river, over the hills, in the ground, in the sky, spring work is going on with joyful enthusiasm, new life, new beauty, unfolding, unrolling in glorious exuberant extravagance, - new birds in their nests, new winged creatures in the air, and new leaves, new flowers, spreading, shining, rejoicing everywhere. - John Muir

Hi Pat,
Sorry about my previous reference to you as Mille, moving too fast, I guess to catch your real name.

Blessings to you!
