It has been 3 weeks and all of the flowers that Allison got for the birth of Eva Grace have died. They were so beautiful too. She got roses and many other various flowers and they really spruced u our bedroom. We have to keep our flowers in our bedroom or else we would need a personal florist each and every day to replenish our supply. That is because our cats enjoy nibbling on the flowers. We shut them out of the bedroom (or at least we try to) so they can’t get at the flowers.
I have found that over this past year I have come to really appreciate flowers. I photograph them for Green Thumb Sunday and I even have a few in my 2008 Photo-A-Day Calendar. I even appreciate a beautiful arrangement like the one below. This one is from ProFlowers it is called the Masterpiece Bouquet, and I love the stargazer lilies.
And I can’t believe that an arrangement that is so beautiful and has so many flowers is under $60.00. We’ve used ProFlowers to send flowers before and they have always come through with beautiful arrangements like the Masterpiece Bouquet.
I was at work today and then went to the gym. Doing that Subway post for PayPerPost has gotten me back into the get healthy frame of mind. Then I came home and I swear that Eva’s hair got lighter today while I was gone. And pretty soon her umbilical cord is going to fall off. And I will be glad to be rid of that.
I don’t mind changing “poopy” diapers, I don’t mind cleaning “goopy” eyes but that stump freaked me out. Sure I would clean it and whatnot but it just freaked me out. I can’t wait till it falls off. Then we can stop doing the diaper fold and we can put them on as they are intended.
Today’s photo is of an angel in one of Allison’s plants. I read something today that made me sad and made me thinks of an Angel. But I’m keeping that one close to the vest people.
Sales have slowed down really badly for my 2008 Photo-A-Day calendar, even with the promotion that so many people have done. I’ve only raised 29.70 through the sales and I’m giving it all to the Machinski family. I fear that I will not reach my goal of 100 calendars sold. However I have gotten quite a few donations from some very generous peopple who felt that rather than buy a calendar they would give a full on donation to the Machinski family. If you are interested in helping please click the donate or buy a calendar. Thanks.
