GBBD January - $120 of blooms

My heart skipped two beats today- once when 2 dozen white roses were delivered to my office, and for the second time when my husband told me how much he'd spent on this gorgeous bouquet.

Bonus points he didn't even know he'd earn: good timing. Here's my GBBD contribution!

The only flowers blooming around here are cut and in a vase, but take a look to see what else is blooming around the world today at May Dreams Gardens.

Having a gardening friend means...

... surprise gifts of simple and very special arrangements!


I gave my friend Grace (photos of her gorgeous late summer garden here) a mini sweet potato casserole last week and on my doorstep yesterday was not just the empty dish, but a vase with one of her lovely reblooming irises, surrounded with sage. I can't believe her irises are still blooming and we're right up to Thanksgiving!

Perhaps I'll look around my garden and see what I can fill the vase with when I go to return it to Grace! Why ever give anything back empty? :)
