On Tuesday I got some daffodils included in my grocery order;
And finally I had a surprise delivery...
There are chocolates as well! The keen eyed might spot there are only eleven roses, sadly one didn't survive the transit. These are already beginning to open up.
Outside has been.... cold and damp... while we were eating breakfast we watched a mist suddenly appear, rising up from the nearby stream and drifting across the garden, and then just as mysteriously disappering. It didn't start raining until about 4 pm though.
I'm fiddling around with a new poem...
In the grey damp February
Everyone made moan,
Earth was wet and squelchy
And the sun never shone.
I think it needs a bit of work...
Now for another chocolate



An odd number of roses is easier to arrange. Just sayin'. Happy V Day.
ReplyDeleteI shall need to rearrange these; one or two have chosen different places to the ones they originally agreed to.
DeleteI love the posy in the beaker
ReplyDeleteI think it's my favourite too
DeleteSadly roses from florists dont seem to last very long. I do love tiny flower arrangements!
ReplyDeleteThese roses may last a week, according to the care leaflet. Maybe. Possibly. Perhaps!
DeleteI too love small vases of flowers, yours are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThey are so cute. I should have thought of using the tiny mug before.
DeleteRain is falling, cold and grey,
ReplyDeleteCold and grey,
In this gloomy winter,
Every single day.

It's sunny this morning; the 'exception that proves the rule'? But at 'feels like -2' I won't be going out!
DeleteI have collected a few small vases from charity shops for the "trimmings" and I sometimes use them to take little posies of garden flowers to my housebound ladies in the summer.
ReplyDeleteWhat a good idea. I've some little old glass bottles, ink bottles maybe, that would be perfect.
ReplyDeleteI bought a simple group for myself. I need some color soore that than Valentines Day.
ReplyDeleteI think valentines day is overrated... flowers always lift the heart!
DeleteHow lovely! Flowers always brighten the day.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely worth splurging on flowers these past few weeks!
DeleteFor very tiny bouquets I use old cut glass Salt & Pepper shakers with no tops.
ReplyDeleteAnother clever idea...
