The end of Feburary and the beginning of March leave me grumpy. There's the promise of spring, but it feels as though winter may never end. The skies are grey more often than not, and the world seems a bit bleak. While I love a nice rainy day every now and then, I am most certainly someone who thrives on sunshine.
The best cure I've found for the end-of-winter-blues is bunch of flowers. A cheap bouquet from the grocery store, dumped on the table for my sister to arrange.
Ten minutes later I've got sunshine in a weck jar and a smile on my face.
The mess just might be the most beautiful part.
yes the perfect remedy... i just came home with ready to burst open daffodils...

Great Pictures.... you have a real talent!
ReplyDeleteNothing like some fresh flowers to brighten your day! thank you for sharing!!
ReplyDeleteOMG this would be perfect for the centerpieces for my wedding!
ReplyDeleteLovely bouquet. I don't do bouquets nowadays. i just take whatever I like from my garden and do single flowers or threes. It helps me to keep my mind on what I'm doing.
ReplyDeleteI keep the flowers right next to me while I am working, so a colorful bunch would tend to pull my attention from what I have to do. A single color or single flower keeps my spirit light but allows me to remain focused as well.
