There is a flower farm not too far from me that sells incredibly beautiful blooms and bouquets. They are popular and sell out quickly but while Dale was in the hospital I was able to score a ranunculus bouquet. The pick up process is simple: you drive up, they check your name on a clipboard, and they bring out what you ordered. I’ll admit to being a little disappointed when the ranunculus they brought me were all white; I was hoping for pinks or yellows. Yet when I brought these home and put them in my bedroom they looked perfect against the gray walls and brought me a wonderful feeling of peace.

I hope you have some peaceful feelings this weekend.

Here are some cherry blossoms from earlier this month, I just love those pink buds and white flowers against those green leaves. When this tree blooms it always makes me smile and I almost missed it this year due to the pandemic. I’m glad I caught this photo before it was completely done blooming.

Enjoy the blooms wherever you are this weekend and I’ll catch back up with you on Tuesday.

Full disclosure that is not my photo, it’s from Word Swag. And I think it’s a lovely way to welcome the month of May. Do I dare perhaps hope that good changes are coming this month? That I might see my Jackie? That I might gather around a fire with a few people I love? That perhaps I will have a plan for reopening my library?

I don’t know if any of those things will come true but I have hope and I’m holding it close.

Happy Weekend!

My 3rd and final amaryllis bulb is putting on quite a show right now. This variety is called Double Dream and it’s a stunner, huge pink flowers with tons of petals in each blossom, the white tips just add to the magic of it all.

Have a magical (at home!) weekend!
