Today in church our worship leader (go Nancy!!) asked “Did you see them?”
Now, I start racking my brain — oh, no what we were supposed to see? Did we miss the big whatever?
Then she says “Did you see the Jonquils?” Which I still call buttercups. Spring is springing up around here. The buttercups are popping up.
We got home today and I looked around my yard — my buttercups were broken down. Wonder which dog did that? I picked them so we could enjoy them in a vase as opposed to looking at them laying flat on the ground.
After picking the buttercups I was overtaken with a desire to pick a bunch o’ stuff from my yard and make some kind of arrangement. Let me add that this rarely happens to me unless people are coming to the house, but today I just wanted to pick some stuff and cram it in a vase. And we have this pretty pink vase-y thing that Paige got pageant flowers in. So why not.
I present my first Spring arrangement (which could easily be my only arrangement of flowers for 2009)
Flowers o' mine
God is good! And He sends us pretty flowers to remind us that Spring is coming.
I just love how He continually cares for me and blesses me beyond all measure and much more than this mess-of-a-woman deserves.
Oh dear. I found the way we’re different. Plants hate me. Because I kill them. You will never EVER hear me say, “I walked into my yard and picked ________ and made a flower arrangement out of it.” Because in my world, that just doesn’t happen.
But yours is very pretty. And I’m jealous of your mad flower skillz.
Robyn — don’t make a mistake, this stuff all just grows in the yard. If I actually try to grow something …. bad, bad things will happen. I don’t plant anything, well, I used to try (the operative word is try) but I stopped years ago.
I saw them last week after dropping the kids at school. It made me smile then and yours make me smile now. =)
Mary,
Loving the Jonquils, you did a great job arranging them! My wonderful hubby surprised me the other day by picking some and sticking them in a vase and putting them in the kitchen window without me knowing it. Loved it, but just wondered how long they had been in the window before I noticed!!! teeheehee!!!
