My Little Suburban Cottage: Flower Power~

WELCOME~

Growing up in a small town, we didn't have housing developments. What we had were streets lined mostly with trees and homes built by individuals. I remember when a small housing development began across town and I couldn't help but think how weird it was that a bunch of mostly identical homes were being built so close to each other... it was stark,ugly, and made me uncomfortable. I remember thinking I'd never live in a housing development..I'd always be in my own unique space. I was very young and I was very wrong. I didn't end up in a sunny cottage on the edge of town or a small farm out in the boonies.. I have landed in a house that's just like every 4th or 5th house in a housing development in small town suburbia. I realized that regardless of where you are..or what cookie cutter home one lives in, there are a buh-zillion and one ways to make it your own. From my own little suburban *cottage* you will find me posting anything from cooking to sewing to flower watching.. people watching, short stories, poetry, rants, raves and anything else you can imagine~ Please stay awhile, explore all little parts of my life. You may find your self, laughing, rolling your eyes, disgusted, inspired, aggravated, happy, ect ect ect..

Thanks so much for stopping by and sharing in my joy~

Flower Power~

I wish the weather could be like this all year `round! It's going to get to about 78-80 today.. slight breeze, a couple of clouds here and there but lots of sunshine, the birds are chirping and my roses are blooming along with the azalea and a few other things.. I LOVE IT~

I love flowers. I always have and always will..There is something special about the flowers that bloom after a nasty wet winter..

In love with today's weather, I was inspired to hose off the barbecue island preparing for poolside dining yet to come this season~, piddled around in my flowers and plants planning a few more containers, and finally I clipped a few roses for a small floral arrangement that is rustic and fun...

~ Here it is~
