May Flowers Bring New Living Rooms

I love flowers. Everyone loves flowers. But I love flowers in my house. When we were first married I used to get flowers for the kitchen every couple of weeks. 

Somewhere along the line I stopped buying them. Steve gets me some for Mother's Day, Anniversaries and my birthday. But our "Snowball Bush" (I have no idea what the technical term is) is in full bloom in the backyard and I just had to have some of the beauty in the house. 

It renewed a style sense in me that I had long forgotten about with two toddlers taking over our home. So I rearranged overhauled my living room and pulled out the cutest white ceramic mug to put my snowballs in. 

(Now I really realize how much I need to paint the table they are on, I digress...)

And needless to say for the first time in a long time, I sat in our reading chair by my flowers last night and read. Something else that I have not done in awhile. And every few pages I turned and looked at my flowers, smiled and felt at ease, and kept reading. 

I think I may start my flower tradition back up because how can you not look at these and be happy? Now go out and cut some greens/flowers from your yard or buy some. You will probably never regret it.
