Flowers always make people better, happier, and more helpful: they are sunshine, food and medicine to the soul.  ~Author Unknown

Flowers can be a "pick me up" in times of bleakness.  Do you remember as a child going outdoors and picking a handful of violets or dandelions or daisies and taking them to your Mother or Grandmother?  What great joy that brought to them and it sometimes resulted in a big hug or an extra chocolate chip cookie.

Now we give a single rose or a bouquet of flowers to a shut-in, a neighbor, a friend.  Or we place a bouquet of flowers in our own homes.  And the benefits are still rewarding: a smile, a hug, a sense of calmness.

Have you thought of any artists or groups who name has a flower/nature theme?  Here are a few that we came up with ....


Guns n Roses
Caitlin Rose
Rosemary Clooney


All for this time.  Hope you find that time outdoors today gives  you a sense of rejuvenation, a sense of mindfulness or a simple smile.  Bright sun, cool breeze, light rain ...  Mother's Nature way of saying "Welcome to the world."


Hope you have a good day and until next time, Happy Gardening.
