FLOWERY FUN

Okay I confess. I didn't write one blessed word yesterday. I was up bright and early, put a roast in the crockpot, blogged and went off to play with flowers. The Moravian church here in town collects donated flowers from funerals, weddings, showers, social events, etc. and they tear the arrangements apart and re-do them into smaller arrangements and then donate them to nursing homes, shut-ins, low income families, etc. People who don't normally receive flowers. Even several retailers in town donate their flowers when they are in full bloom and they can't sell them.

Flowers make everyone smile. This was so much fun and rewarding at the same time. More churches should do this! My creativity was at full alert and I was in awe of some of the beautiful arrangements some of the ladies created. A talented group...that's for sure.

After we got done "flowering", a group of us went to lunch. We spent about two leisurely hours talking, munching and getting to know one another. I finally got home around 3:00 and needless to say...was totally and completely unmotivated to begin writing what is starting into the very dark side of my childhood. So I took a break.

Today it is dreary, rainy and joyless outside. A perfect day to be writing ugly, gloomy memories. NaNo, NaNo.........
