I love spring and summer …
… and this picture reminds me of a lovely, sunny day from last July.
I hope you have a Good Friday and a good weekend. 🙂
It may be snow white up here in NWT, but for that reason, I think it’s time for a Friday flower.
The photo above, taken a couple of years ago, is of a bunch from one of my lavender pots. Lavender is said to bring luck. In ancient times, it was burned in bonfires to ward off evil or to entice good fortune.
Despite its reputation as an “old lady” flower, I have always loved it for its fragrance and pretty purple flowers. Dried, it can last a long time; I like to keep it in my closet to repel moths, and outside, it repels mosquitoes.
And, as if that’s not enough, lavender scent will help you to sleep, and more deeply, as well.
It’s certainly one of nature’s beautiful presents. Do you grow lavender?
Happy Friday; happy weekend. 🙂
A pink and green summer remembrance …
… on a frosty Friday.
After an extended period of relatively warm weather, it’s getting cold again. It’s nice to daydream of summer.
Happy Friday; happy weekend. 🙂
Here are some candle flowers. But they can’t hold a candle to …
Oh … hello. Where did you come from? Well, it seems that a magic pumpkin has joined my Friday Flower post. Umm, not sure how I feel about that. I suppose it can stay as long as nothing else creepy happens.
Dear Pumpkin Being: do not grow arms, legs, fangs, or a mouth. If you do, I will get my blender and turn you into mush. Got it?
Not kidding.
Happy Halloween! 🎃
I found these lily pad flowers …
… vigorously crowding a small pond with their enthusiastic leaves and pink and white blooms.
The lovely summer vibes are becoming a memory.
Happy weekend. 🙂
Full, late summer roses.
Aren’t they luscious?
I hope you have a good long weekend. 🙂
