Miming the Sun

Prairie flowers, 

so often tiny and delicate, 

are seldom showy but for these marvellous wildflowers. They mimic the sun without the heat. No complaints here. The cold and ice of winter,  always at the back of my mind, tempers any whining about the perspiration sliding my glasses down my nose or dribbling down my back. 

I’ll take these brilliant flowers and this temporary (I hope) heat wave any day!
