Sarah's Gift

Sarah's Gift, March 2016

Have you ever been blessed with the kindest person in your life? And if you're extra fortunate they live near you?  I am that doubly fortunate.

My neighbor Sarah with an "h," (unlike my sister Sara with no "h")  lives across the street from us and in the last few years we've all become great friends.  We look out for each other, cook with each other, feed each other and try to do kind things for each other.

This lovely bouquet was a gift from Sarah to brighten up our house on a cold dark March Saturday afternoon.  I didn't over work the set and simply added the minimum amount of complimentary colors with a silky, shiny neck scarf and my favorite rich green background.

I think the flowers speak for themselves. Sweet. Simple. Fragrant. Thoughtful.

Flowers.... yes again.

I don't expect anyone else to enjoy these floral studies like I do.  But that's just fine.

I have no desire to become an actual florist.  There are plenty of extremely talented people who do that much better than I do.  But since I'm in Minnesota in early March and it's not too colorful outside at the moment this is the next best thing to being outside enjoying Mother Nature.

I get the total joy of receiving this bouquet as a gift from my husband, Karl, and documenting it for my everlasting enjoyment.
