Flowers


I have loved flowers since I was little. My father loved roses and after he retired he planted his roses. I would plant any package of seeds I could get my hands on. I love carnations they are my favorite. I love the way fresh cut flowers make the house smell and the way they brighten up a room yet I can never seem to bring myself to cut them. I have planted vegetable gardens my whole life but never had much experience with flowers. I may not know much about arrangement or landscaping but flowers, any flowers bring me joy. I love to give flowers to people for their birthdays, to say thank you, for any holiday or any reason. Flowers were meant to be shared. I enjoy lilac bushes when they bloom and there is a little bit of breeze to bring the fragrance to you. I love to see the Easter lilies pop through the ground letting me know that spring is here. It maybe three or four months away but I can visualize them now, bringing color to the front lawn. Flowers were meant to be enjoyed while we are alive. It's pretty hard to enjoy them after we are gone.
