I am ever so grateful. Amongst the turmoil, a bouquet from my husband arrived and a music box with a gold heart pendant as well. I am so lucky and cannot complain about the disaster that is my home now because it is suuuuch a quality issue.
What really matters is obvious to the eye that sees what the soul observes.
Here we have a generous bouquet of red roses, white, petite spray roses, creamy stock and holiday, bright crimson hypericum berries.
Every month I receive lovely bouquets from the love of my life.
These roses had to be in the top ten in beauty, originality and fragrance.
Farfalla roses – a variety with creamy white petals edged in coral.
Vivid sunflowers, two-toned Leonidas roses and feathery solidago in a rustic yet elegant bouquet. Enjoying them up in the treehouse retreat. It is cloudy, rainy and chilly. The fire in the hearth is gently warming. The Zen music is filling the cabin with tranquility.
Have a wonderful weekend.
A while back I heard a quote that I believe was attributed to Eisenhower, “Never underestimate the power of keeping your mouth shut.”
I believe how you say something is just as important as WHAT you say.
When you are committed to self growth and being of service to others, your words or silence is reliable as well.
Roses lovingly sent to me by the love of my life.
Ginger, Parakeets, Heliconia and King Protea with Monstera leaves.
My amazing husband gifts me a bouquet of exotica and a bouquet of roses every month. There is nothing like having fresh flowers in a vase and admiring them.
Happy Saturday!
These beauties are treasured for their pale petals at the base that ombre into hot pink or fuchsia trails at the end. When they are tightly closed, like in this picture I took yesterday, they seem densely bright but as they open, they exude delicate, pastel grace.
Wanted to post my gorgeous birthday arrangement my friends J and J sent me.
It is a unique and eclectic mix. Gerbera daisies, red roses, mums, sprays of deep garnet and yellow green, a cabbage and a succulent.
Yesterday, Nana passed away peacefully in her own bed, before sunrise. We all loved her very much. She was born in Queens, NY to a strong and stoic German woman and her carpenter husband. She was the youngest child and one of the most beautiful women I have ever met in person. She will be in our hearts always.

An exquisite bouquet of rich red sparkly “freedom” roses arrived just in time for St. Valentine’s Day. I have never seen anything like this before. Each precious rose is blinged out in the center with a diamond rhinestone. The petals resemble velvet, the scent is like a romantic memory and the arrangement and vase it was delivered in at my front door is nothing short of class.
I want to wish everyone LOVE and especially wish J a great day (which I know she will have) and thank her for being in our family and taking care of M (and E sometimes too).
