those people...

I always wanted to be one of those people, the people with fresh cut flowers in their house all the time, with a frosted cake on a beautiful pedestal in the kitchen, and the ability to make everyone feel welcome all the time.... well, so far, i'm starting with the flowers.

i know nothing about flowers, nothing. go ahead, ask my mother, i'll say, "hey mom, i really like those yellow ones in the front, you know, next to the dangling red ones." terrible. but that doesn't deter my love of looking at them, taking in their smell, and thinking, isn't it amazing that something like this just pops out of the ground!

i'm told that women in my family spark interest in gardening after forty, so i've got a bit of a way to go, but for now, i'll just try to have fresh flowers all the time, including the ones above, whatever they are...
