2023: FLOWERS- store bought for me by me

 Miley Cyrus

March 11

Bought myself flowers yesterday while food shopping. I had listened to this song closely about a month ago and it inspired me. Being single all my 75 years. I love flowers but not as a habit- just when it feels right. Like every 30 years or so. I like my flowers outside actually. But it has been more than dreary this Winter. And well I hit my head and was in the ER. Light bulb moment- buy myself some flowers. 

I was hoping to find a small florist shop and get what used to be called a nosegay. a small selection of small flowers. Well the weatehr was dreadful- rain and snow- so I thought it best to see what I could do at Star Market. Geez expensive much!? So I settled for a bunch of tulips and not sure what the other flowers are looks like tall hyacinths. and 3 pussy willows. Pretty muted colors. I had forgotten how difficult it is to photo tulips though. Or anything for that matter in dull light.

So here's what it looks like so far.

Placed them in their containers in the sun room- which has little sun! Overnight the  hyacinths opened and are a delightful bright pink.

The flowers I bought myself on March 10 are slowly fading. Tulips, Hyacinths and pussywillows. Thought I would get artsy while taking photos and have some fun with geometry at the same time. I sure got my money's worth.
