Oh, you didn't. I can count on one hand the number of purchased bouquets that I have received in the last couple of decades. I really do love flowers. But I'm not about to sit around waiting for someone else to send me bouquets. So what does this bouquet-loving lady do?
Every spring and summer, I cut bouquets for myself every week. I keep them on the dresser in my room, or in the kitchen next to the sink, or in the bathroom next to the tub. I put my own home-cut bouquets in the places where I most want to look at them. It simply makes me happy to have flowers in my spaces.
Earlier this spring, I had lilacs and irises. Monday was the first day of spring that I could cut enough roses for a small bouquet. This week, I have a half-dozen pink roses to bring cheer to my daily activities. Such a frugal but beautiful thing to do for myself.
