My Month in Flowers!

You know those mags that promote giving one new flower to your special someone's door every month? Well, I've always wished for one and finally it happened! Well, sort of. But quite by accident. The combination of my daughters birth, my birthday and Mother's Day collided to make May a month-long flower extravaganza! I think I received more flowers in one month than I have in my whole life! Check out the parrot tulips and gorgeous bouquet from the farmers market! Also, Tiger Lilies, Skagit county pinks, and Forget Me Nots.....

A Prediction

A favorite pastime of mine is trying to predict things about the future. Mark my words... this is the next important color. It is an unusual yellow that I think will be appearing anywhere from compostable boxes to cars... The ancients long worshiped yellow - especially amber - as it holds the color of the sun after all! And as we hit this new time where we look for more elegant energy solutions... wherein solar power seems to be THAT most viable choice... It only makes sense that some variation of sunshine should end up in our everyday lives.
