some flowers to brighten your day by summerfield

some flowers to brighten your day

my one-week old flowers are still looking great, n'est-ce pas? 'tis a good thing though because today, i never made it outside, not in the balcony, not to walk in the oval. the weather was like dr. jekyll and mr. hyde -- one minute it's bright sunshine, the next it's all hail and snow. and it's freaking cold. i woke up this morning with a slight headache, and a sandy feeling in my throat. i took my temps to see if i had a fever which i knew i didn't but just wanted to make sure. i couldn't start doing my taxes as a result.

then i figured, i did my walking yesterday in -2 temperature with a moderate wind blowing. that should be enough reason to be sick. but towards lunchtime i was fine but it was nice to laze around in bed and watch the changing weather so i lazed around in my bed.

read two books and ate a bowl of banana split ice cream and motivated enough to take a couple of shots for today's word prompt which is "flowers".

it being mother's day tomorrow, i figured the stores will be crowded, just, with a long line up to get in, in this cold, and the prices of flowers would be exhorbitant. i only get flowers for the "home office" and since i'm supposed to be off doing my taxes which i haven't even started on, no need to buy as these still work. i'd go buy on monday when it's cheaper. 😜

Clever girl to get a new supply AFTER Mother's Day! No need really as these still look spectacular! They are processed so beautifully too

Very pretty. Love the way you have framed them. As for going outside....I didnt even get out of bed until 5.30 PM!! I have been working a weird late shift doing a long term charter so I do have an excuse to sleep late...just not 5.30 pm late. Besides that it was just way to cold and nasty outdoors today.

what a treat to have flowers all the time. They are still looking great after a week. You have my sympathy waking up feeling unwell. It is so easy to think the worst with every tiny symptom. Thanks for sharing those flowers with us :)

A wonderful photo of these beauties. I would never guess they were a week old. Nicely done. Fav
