Once again today, I pulled over on the side of the highway, grabbed the pruners from the trunk, and cut some beautiful flowers to bring home. They were sad, droopy, and hastily plunked in a vase when I came home, and there they sit.
There were important things to be done after supper, like going to the closest beach we could (all of two minutes from here) and playing in that amazing salty summer air and the (surprisingly warm) water. A certain small someone sort of fell in and was stripped down to his diaper, and a certain someone else had a great time dodging the waves. I'm planning on a lot more of that in the next few months.
Happy Thursday!
Love flowers inside! That has to be the best kinda highway robbery!
ReplyDeleteWe made our way over to the beach yesterday too. Such a beautiful day!
We were there again today - the weather is wonderful! We're certainly lucky to live here. :)
DeleteAH! I always mean to put pruners in the car, and I never remember! All those lupins..
ReplyDeleteHi Lauren! Would you believe that I have a dedicated pair for the car? (It's true.)
DeleteWhat a hilarious title! We never think of pulling over to cut flowers...not even sure it's legal here. :}
ReplyDeleteI don't think that we have any laws against it, and I'm not going to ask. :) I only pick things that are abundant, so I'm not too worried. :)
DeleteSounds perfect and the flowers are so pretty! I'm so jealous that you live near the beach. For us it's a four-hour drive but I "need" to go to the beach a couple of times a year...so good for body and soul!
ReplyDeleteKristina, I know exactly what you mean. The boys and I spent the afternoon at the beach today, and it was just so restorative. (And I apparently forgot to put sunblock on my neck, ouch!)
DeleteWhat absolutely beautiful flowers! They remind me that summer is coming, despite the Pacific Northwests rainy weather!
