Today's Flowers: My One-Track Mind

Saturday's chilly adventures included a stop in the warehouse store for milk, eggs, and tulips. I really love the yellow and the thoughts of sunshine the color in these blossoms conjures. This week, I remembered to put water in the vases, so we're off to a good start.

Today's Flowers: They're Still Going

The big bunch of fire-colored tulips that I bought last week are still going pretty strong, despite a few little mishaps--like forgetting to put water in one of the vases and forgetting to change it in another. They drooped, they sprung back, they drooped again, I trimmed stems and added water, and it's all good!

Today's Flowers: Factory Tulips

The Mardi Gras anastasia mums faded to a strangely invisible brown this week. I knew they had given up the ghost when I smelled that strong, peppery aroma of raked earth. Out they went and in came the factory tulips from the warehouse store. They smell like nothing at the moment, but they are very pretty. The red and orange-yellow of the flowers made me think of summer sunsets and ever ygood thing that goes with that. Here's to spring and the factories that do good things to take the sting out of a weekend shortened by one hour for no apparent or useful reason.

Live well and be good.

Today's Flowers: Mardi Gras Colors

The grocery store in the next town had exactly what the doctor and the decorator ordered for my daughter's Mardi Gras party last weekend--flowers in gold, green, and purple. The colors represent power (gold), faith (green), and justice (purple). These Anastasia mums were strong and beautiful.
