On a day like this....

It´s this  time of the year when a lot of birds are chirping , tweeting and singing. 

You can hear them early morning in our area and sometimes throughout the day.

Ahhhh, this suffering of having bad weather!!!
 Yes, we are confronted with bad weather since days. But, the farmers 

need the rain. Only thing is... too bad that it´s so cold and the  

flowers of fruit trees are being damaged by the unrelenting frost

We must go out rain or shine everyday to walk Lily....yes, on a day like this we must!

But such walk with the dog gets us to move, go out into the fields to have fresh air 

and at the same time collect wildflowers for my vases. 

And it´s on a day like this when the weather is cold and rainy that I´d rather stay home and do a 

bit of cocooning, enjoy hot tea or coffee and read a novel,  do crafts  and many more. 

On a day like this, I arrange wildflowers I collected from the dog walk...

And on a rainy day like this, the flowers tend to shy-away from blooming.

Poor tulips in my garden could not open-up because it´s cold...

The petals were devastated from constant rain...
I feel sad for these tulips because they already started growing nicely when it was 

warmer last March and beginning of April. Well, there is a german saying that goes like this :

"...April, April, er macht was er will  "  

April does whatever it wants.. meaning, the weather in April is unpredictable, 

sunny now, rainy the following day and frosty the next...! 

Have a nice weekend !!!

Collection of 34 Wildflower Arrangements - Part 2 ( 2016)

"we gathered the wildflowers

yes, life there seem'd one pure delight

as thro' the field we rov'd.

yes, life there seem'd one pure delight "

-  George Linley  

Hi everyone!

This is the second part of my wildflower arangements done 

between Spring and Summer of this year. And I´m proud to be 

able to present it in a collective form, that way you can see the different styles, 

different flowers and different vases I used for each of the bouquet. 

Part 1 is quite a lot , and the flowers in there were 

absolutely gorgeous and  so beautiful as the ones here in part 2.

My garden is very small and I have a conifer hedge all over
so I couldn´t plant flowering bushes on the ground as slugs would 
devastate all the flowers overnight in one sitting. It is in the night 
that they are active particularly after the rain.

      

This one on top is an arrangement of  all natural wildflowers, 

onion flowers and wild redberries.

                                      

The decanters were found at a local flea market

You might have noticed, that yellow roses were included in some 

of the arrangements. That is because my 22 year old rosebush had blooms 

that started in May til almost end of summer. I used these roses just to 

give the wildflowers some color contrasts. 

That wraps up on Part 2 of my wildflower collection. 

Thanks for taking the time to have a look at  my 
arrangements and bouquets . I hope you liked them!

enjoys the air it breathes".......William Woodsworth

It was nice to have you here!
