Free Flowers.

I spend so much time in the garden tending my plants and flowers that I always forget to pick them.

Sometimes I’m so lame that when I’m at the store I’ll buy a bouquet of flowers.

I have an acre of gardens, so chances are something’s in bloom most of the year.

You mean I can cut my own bouquet of flowers for free without leaving home and spending any money?

What a concept.

Oh and by the way, the bouquets don’t have to be made out of traditional flowers, especially this time of year.

Here is my good deed for the day:
While running with Moondoggie I learned the hard way that the trail I normally run was closed. This added two miles to my run that I wasn’t expecting and didn’t want.

It also added two VERY STEEP hills.

So I decided to inform every single person that I saw that the trail was closed. Ninety percent of the people I told did not know and thanked me. The other ten percent already knew but still thanked me.

Thank you, for reading my blog.

Free flowers sounds like fun, Chigiy - yours look great. I miss having big old established shrubs and wildflowers that need cutting - my shrubs here are too puny to cut. But this spring the iris are so abundant that I can bring them in and have a vase with flowers - yay.

This does seem to be a year for enjoying whatever we can, trying to keep a balance and judge what's really important.

Regarding your previous post, I knew one person who used a gun to remove herself from the game. It was a few years ago, economics weren't involved and it was terrible. I can only imagine what you're going through and you have my sympathy.

I love your Moondog ~ he's adorable and he can kill gophers! He'd be very popular here in the summertime.

Your flowers are beautiful and how fortunate you are to have them blooming outdoors throughout the year. I got caught up with your happenings these past months. I hope all is well!

I'm so envious that you can simply go outside in the winter months and pick flowers. We're just getting rid of snow here in New England. The only flowers we see are at the local store. I'm living my winter gardening vicariously through you! Thanks for your lovely pictures.

Beautiful flowers! I bet I know what trail that is. I did that once if it the same place...very frustrating because the part that was closed was the flat trail and then I had to turn around and climb the mountain trail back!!! I was exhausted after that!

One thing I don't have a lot of is flowers. Lot's of flowering shrubs, some roses, but few flowers this year. (not even wildflowers--winter rainfall too low.) Your flowers are wonderful!

Yah! instead of buying a bouquet of flowers, you can make your own bouquet of flowers. I'll always do that whenever I'm short of money to buy a bouquet of flowers. It's a lot more cheaper, and I can save more money.
