Some Things are Priceless by Weezilou

Some Things are Priceless



Each summer when we arrive in Lunenburg, we purchase a car full of potted and hanging plants for outside the house. On the best summers, our timing is such that the wild lupines and iris are in abundance. We have a favourite secluded dirt road where we can cut all we need for bouquets in the living room, and it's fun to look back and you can't even tell anything is gone. Ken took this picture of me with enough to fill a couple of vases. It's the fragrance I wish everyone could experience...both sweet and peppery! These will last a week, leaving us time to do it once again before they fade from the fields and roadsides until next year.
very nice portrait Louise flowers are nice too. Gerry.

How lucky to have such an abundance of beauty at your fingertips. Love the way the curves of the logo on your shirt are duplicated by the lupine stalks. I know that was your intent, right?
June 16th, 2012  
this picture makes me feel happy for you :-)

I love the peppery smell of Lupins, A lovely picture of you Louise

I would love to be in Lunenburg right now and so lucky to be able to grab some of these gorgeous Lupins! I'm so envious of you right now. :)

Well Louise, if I remember correctly, you do have the decorator's touch of elegance for your home. Your indoor photos always look beautiful.
June 16th, 2012  
Wildflowers truly are the prettiest. What a great shot.
June 16th, 2012  
How wonderful that you are able to get them for free...and no one even knows. They are beautiful!
June 16th, 2012  
Wow - that's an impressive armful! So great to see you back on 365! Happy belated anniversary to you and Ken!

June 16th, 2012  
The smile for example.
Thank you for your visit and you nice comment
June 16th, 2012  
@allie912 sure...right... Let's say I at least wanted the Lunenburg name to show... I won that t-shit last summer :-)

@russianblue I'd love to know your connection to Lunenburg! We come up from California for four months every summer...we love it here, too!
June 17th, 2012  
@digitalrn Thanks so much for such a nice compliment! It's pretty eclectic, but we love our surroundings! So glad to be back here for the summer!
June 17th, 2012  
GREAT to hear from you! Awh I miss Lunenburg! I was just thinking about you the other day!

I'm not done with 365, just so you know. I've just had a tough time finding time to post pics!

Hey today is my daughter's 8th birthday!
June 17th, 2012  
Oh and great shot. Your "real life" warmth really shines through!
June 17th, 2012  
Fabulous! Wonderful shot of you with that armful of gorgeous lupines!
June 17th, 2012  
Fabulous shot, good to see you back on here Louise
June 17th, 2012  
Those lupines are just gorgeous!
June 17th, 2012  
What a great portrait of you and those flowers! Wish I could smell them! They look wonderful! :D
June 20th, 2012  
Beautiful flowers, beautiful picture of you! Love your description of the flowers - I bet they smell amazing!
June 20th, 2012  
What beautifiul flowers they are, and so close for you to gather. Lovely shot!
June 21st, 2012  
So good to see you again Louise! :)
June 21st, 2012  
@Weezilou I'm really late getting back to you but my father was from Cape Breton - so I'm a Maritimer by blood. :) I haven't been back there in a long time. Hope to do a late summer / fall visit next year if I'm lucky!
July 5th, 2012  
@russianblue I love getting notes like this that connect me with other people! On the 15th I'm meeting (in Lunenburg) another 365er from Halifax who currently lives in Illinois. Please stay in touch if you come up this way!
July 7th, 2012  
@Weezilou For sure I will! My cousins purchased a summer home in Kingsburg Nova Scotia about 3 years ago and I've been meaning to visit. Right now we're trying to save up to build our own cottage (Ontario) so we're always putting off the trip out east. I need to win the lottery!
July 7th, 2012  
@russianblue Kingsburg is only about a 15 minute drive from us!
July 7th, 2012  
Lovely portrait! And Lupins too.
July 8th, 2012  
What a beautiful portrait of you with the flowers. I do remember trying to find some Lupins last year in Victoria after you posted a picture, I was able to find some yellow ones. :)
July 10th, 2012  
@Weezilou Very small world! If I make it out there, I'll make sure to drop you a line. :)
July 13th, 2012  
@russianblue You'll get here, and if it's summer, we'll be here to welcome you!
July 15th, 2012  
Those are so pretty. They will be beautiful in the garden.
August 6th, 2012  
Awesome!!! Totally will do!!! :-)

@elatedpixie How funny to read the old note above! Kass and her husband DID come out , and we had a birthday party for him the night they were with us! ...and looking further up the list, Amber and Ryan came over from Toronto to visit as well! Funny, the things that began here!
