yesterday I wandered around the house taking pictures of the flowers that I found…

there were some in the living room…

some on the dining room table…

and finally, some in the bedroom;-)…

that is really what I like to see…

as mentioned many times previously, flowers make me happy;-)…

a colleague advised she had to pick up this magnet for me recently, lol… she also took this shot…

and a close-up of one of the bouquets, that just happened to be purple…

bought a bouquet on March 5th…

yesterday I tossed out some of the spent flowers and rearranged it…

amazing how long they have lasted and how good they still look…

on Friday I picked up this orchid…

left it in the plastic over the weekend to carry it to the office…

and here it is in its new home…

haven’t had an orchid for ages… they always remind me of my beloved… he brought them home for me all the time…

flowers sure do improve my days;-)…

remarkable…

got a beautiful bouquet today…

flowers make me happy;-)… a lovely treat and I spent some time admiring them…

they kind of matched the sunrise today…

been lots of pinks and reds in the sky over the last while…

the weather was amazing and we ate our lunch in the Millennium Library Park… lots of folks walking through, but we were the only ones having lunch… the sun was warm on our backs, but when the wind blew it was a bit cool, lol…

quite remarkable to be outside eating lunch on November 9…

just yesterday a colleague and I were discussing how best to look after orchids…

I was sharing the story of my IKEA orchid which I purchased in October… it bloomed until about a month ago and now a new stem is blooming…


I treat orchids like cut flowers… well, basically that’s how I deal with all plants…

I water them sparingly on Saturday… some people use an ice cube weekly to be sure they don’t overwater… my orchids have all liked being in the sun for a good portion of the day…

if they last longer than a bouquet that’s great, if not they get tossed…

way less stress and I am often pleasantly surprised when they last a long time… 

I have a bamboo which one of my daughter’s friends brought me when I had surgery in 2010… still going strong…

tonight I was sitting outside while the pond was filling and admiring the daisy explosion in the garden…


they are everywhere…

flowers inside and out… what a treat…

been a tough week, so last night I treated me to a lovely bouquet of flowers…

didn’t open the package and brought them to the office to perk up my space…

  
they look and smell wonderful and were a great bit of beauty as we worked on a project… enjoyed the perfume and looked at them many times throughout the day…

  
from one of my shots I made wallpaper for my phone…

  
going to take a few more pictures tomorrow before I start work…

lucky to be able to treat myself…

lots of blooms today…

early this morning I got a few shots… this one is the orchid that is reblooming…

  
the first bud is almost open… have had this orchid for at least a couple of years, and it has just been sitting in a corner of the dining room, quietly going about its business…

a picture of blooms from a bouquet that came in today…

 

certainly brighten up the day…

finally tonight took this picture of the beautiful orchid my friend brought me in January after I had lent her my car… today it dropped the last flower…

 

amazingly it has been blooming for five months… going to put it in the corner with the other one, lol…  

flower blossoms sure do make me happy… remind me of my beloved who was always bringing  home orchids for me… my life has been so blessed…
