Walka/Walka & Flowers
Tuesday, January 13, 2009
Walka/Walka is what hubby and I call our walks - and since today was a lovely day, I walked around the old neighborhood near my therapist - Such lovely old gardens and large trees! I even picked some rosemary that had strayed onto the pavement.
One home, I picked some of the white rambling roses that seem to do so well in our little side garden and some of the fresh mint - combined it with the sprigs of rosemary and made a rather nice flower arrangement, if I do say so myself.
With these blooming rose bushes outside, I had found myself wondering why I had been denying myself sone flowers for the inside?
After all roses do love to be cut - that makes them bloom all the more - the reason I always deadhead the one outside my door to keep it blooming. (Some gardeners here - they don't deadhead the roses!)
I thought as I was walking around the picturesque old neighborhood with its flowers that I had roses by my front door, too. (That wasn't the case for many years until I started to cultivate the dry plots out front until it was all taken out of my hands...) I have roses, too! And a tree outside my window - not to mention the generous hanging fern that hubby rescued from the clearance table, and which just loves him!
January can be a dull month - so we all have to do whatever we can to add some grace to the season. Well, I do, anyway! And you all?
