these above, are in a clay soup container i found at a goodwill somewhere. i have a mix of the flowers from bob and mom. they still have a wonderful smell - get close i am sure they imprinted online....
i find i really like to use the picture options on my camera. this solaris view of some flowers from the bowl arrangement were my favorite. 
here are the roses dried from the arrangement mom sent. i love that the color showes so well. they dried very well.
and here are the beautiful pink carnations that came in bob's arrangement. i am amazed how well they have held up and how beautiful the color has held. and the aroma --- hmmmm lovely.
this plant has over-taken our front flower bed area. i did not have a clue what it was until a week ago and i am amazed at its ability to survive. i look forward to the flowers it will produce.
i sure am enjoying our living yard and the flowers i have gotten. outside i have little white roses and some orange tinted ones too. such a nice flowerbed. still a lot of work to do, but it is much better than what we had before. bob has put in a ton of work to get it shaped up and it is paying off. i find that i could be weeding a bit each day and still be trying to keep up. the rain we are getting lately pushes the plants out of seeds. i will have some work cut out for me this next week.
to end with this blog entry - i believe dad would have been proud of what i am doing. again, he introduced me to this idea years ago and i think he would have loved catching up on my goings on each day (week sometimes..) and would have enjoyed seeing this become one of my favorite outlets. he was an amazing artist and loved creativity. it would have been fun tossing ideas around on how to keep up with this process. here's to you dad.
