a friend picked up a few items for me at Costco this morning and brought me some tulips…
they are beautiful and I divided them into four containers…
one is on the stairs ready to go to my bedroom… another is in the bathroom… a third in the den…
the final one is in the living room… they brighten up the whole space…
I am blessed;-)…

part of the reason I shopped at Safeway yesterday was to be able to get some flowers… they almost always have something I like;-)…
I picked up tulips and a few carnations…
instead of making one arrangement, I divided them… one for the living room, one for the dining room, one for the bathroom and one for the bedroom…
the photos above were from yesterday… tulips move in their vase on a regular basis so they are fun to watch throughout the day…
so far today they have opened up and started to bend over in the light…
I’ve enjoyed watching them as I was reading, particularly as it was a bit overcast and very windy out today…

had some fun taking flower pictures yesterday…
the crocus and hyacinth are doing very well and enjoying the light in the living room… also some tulips at the grocery store…
orchid blooms are looking lovely and I picked up an orchid on sale at Save-On-Foods that is now living in the bedroom…

we always know when Spring is on the way when we get information about tulips and daffodils circulating around the office…
we always order, and get, the tulips first…
they are a fundraising campaign of the Lung Association…
this is close to my heart as my dad lived his whole adult life with emphysema, a debilitating disease…
it is wonderful to see flowers everywhere in the office;-)…

three great things before I even left the driveway this morning…
a stunning sky… couldn’t really get a picture that showed how orange the sun was…
then as I was headed to the garage I spotted morning glory flowers… the first ones of the year…
while I was searching for more blooms spotted my neighbour and after checking in with him he shared cucumbers and tomatoes with me…
dropped them into the house, took one final picture of the morning glories and headed off to work…
pretty fine way to start the day…

there’s a beautiful full moon out there tonight…
didn’t even get my camera, just enjoyed a few wonderful moments of soaking it in…
my colleague is away but these tulips are patiently waiting her return… hope she gets back while they are still beautiful;-)…

flowers, flowers, everywhere…
had roses delivered to the office this morning for the staff members who were away on Valentine’s Day… had to laugh because they were nicer than the ones we had… these ones came with greenery and glitter, lol…
and shortly after that our Manitoba Lung Association fundraiser tulips were delivered… the office was filled with beauty…
every day the sky is filled with light which lasts longer and is brighter, and to have flowers on top of that just makes me happy…

been an absolutely crazy busy week…
Monday night my friends helped stuff nametags for an event on Tuesday…
Tuesday I brought the snack for our staff meeting… had great fun the night before finding treats that everyone could enjoy… cheese and crackers, nuts and fruit made for a tasty start to the meeting, lol…
then there were the flowers… picked up tulips for the event… have learned a few tricks to help transport flowers from home… they ride in the back seat in a reusable grocery bag, with the seatbelt on, which keeps them from falling over on the trip… used them at the staff meeting before they headed over to the venue… they looked great simply put into tall vases, and came back to the office to brighten our space afterwards…
more food was involved when I prepared soup for our Souper Thursday…
rarely does it happen that we would have two events at work that one of us would be responsible for, lol… just my luck that I got so many things to do this week…
more flowers to celebrate a colleague’s birthday…
and finally today a gorgeous bouquet to take pictures of as someone picked up a treat for a family friend…
very happy it is Friday… gonna do lots of relaxing on the weekend…

things can change in the blink of an eye…
recently a number of women in my circles have been dealing with very difficult situations… loss of parents, illness of partners and children, employment concerns…
often there is little to do besides sending positive energy and love over the airwaves… spending time holding them in thought and prayer feels like a good use of time…
good to remember to smell the roses, or in this case, tulips…
