Flowers from the Garden

A continuing collection of seasonal flower arrangements

In every flower arrangement, there is a quiet story of the season.

Mood Lifter

Wednesday found me out running errands, with a quick stop at the post office before heading into town to Trader Joe’s in search of flowers. As I stood in line at our charming little downtown post office, I happened to turn around and there they were—a rack of the most glorious dahlias, gathered into bouquets by a local grower. The line was just long enough to give me a few minutes to admire them and choose the perfect bunch to take home. And just like that, my whole day felt a little brighter. I never did make it to Trader Joe’s. I tucked my flowers into the car, headed home, and arranged them in this gorgeous cobalt blue rose bowl. Beautiful flowers, an unexpected discovery, and one less errand to run. Now that’s what I call a mood lifter.
