Casual Country Garden Bouquet

July 4, 2014 by Barb 14 Comments

This week I’m like a kid in a candy shop. I”m finding flowers everywhere I look.Peony & Lilac Bouquet, keeping with the times, friday finds

To say my garden is exploding would be an understatement. I hardly know what to do with it all! Oh would that I could save some for January, February, and March! But alas I cannot, so photos will have to do.

Peony Lilac Bouquet

I could post a flower-a-day for 365 days I’m sure … .

So here are five random things that made me happy this past week:

  1. Spending time with family on the holiday long weekend.
  2. Lots and lots of delicious food.
  3. Weather ranging from not bad to amazing, and that the big storm with giant hail did not materialize.
  4. Flowers, flowers, and more flowers.
  5. Taking photos (especially with my iPhone) and editing on my iPad.

So what did you find this past week? What made you happy?

    The flower arrangement is breathtaking. I could take photos of flowers everyday, too. They just make one’s day brighter!

    Those peonies such pretty pastel shade. Glad you are having such great weather, it’s a pity we can’t bottle it….

    I love your flowers, both here and on Instagram … Enjoy your garden and the blossoming nature!
    The green colors in the nature makes me happy – also the weekend and just being together with the family – and a thought of baking something sweet :)
    Happy weekend to you, Barb!

    Oh, so amazing! The peonies are long gone here so I’m going to enjoy yours! I know what you mean about wishing you could save some for January. I always wish our cactus flowers would bloom longer but I think that’s what makes them so special. Their time is fleeting and we have to soak it all in while they’re here. Your bouquets are beautiful! Would love to have one here on my table to enjoy. Glad you’re being treated to them after the long, cold winter you had!
