May Day

Happy May 1st! May day, for me, will always be about flowers.

My favorite flowers EVER had to be my wedding bouquet:

Weren't they amazing? I had picked out all the flowers by myself and was absolutely blown away by the end-product. All of the flower appointments were really worth it. (minor setbacks that I wouldn't be able to get beloved peonies into the bouquet, but now I'm glad I stuck with the roses!!!)

Ack... Just because I love them so much, I'm going to post another picture of the girl's bouquets and mine:


I don't quite have any flowers yet from my spring plantings, but they are growing. I hope I can plant them into the flower boxes soon and spruce up the porch. I'm still a tad fearful of cold and rain...I'm not sure about how May will cooperate weather-wise.

Do you have any favorite flower memories?

Favorite flower memories... I once bought flowers for a guy I was dating on Valentine's day and I went to his house to deliver them in person (he cancelled our date because he said he was sick) and when I rang the bell some other guy answered.

Not a favorite memory, but sadly I think it's my ONLY flower memory...

We had a lilac tree at the corner of our front porch and when I needed to get away (or had to hide) I'd always climb up in it. I could sit in that tree for hours, just taking in the scent of lilacs and to this day, when I smell them, I feel calm and peaceful and protected.

Also, your bouquet was A.Maz.Ing.

And I want to hit that horrible boy in JP's story.
