I’ve never been accused of having a green thumb. I am admittedly the murderer of many, many, many plants. When I hear others ooh and aha over their blooms and bulbs I get a bit jealous I admit. I really don’t understand the whole flower thing, but I do appreciate the beauty. I think the fact that I don’t have the keenest nose may be a reason for my lack of enthusiasm with flowers. I just don’t smell things unless they are super strong.
Today, however, is Mother’s Day and I have been given many, many flowers and the extraordinary thing is that I am smelling the flowers so easily. I get a whiff with a slight wind blowing. It is beautiful and extremely uplifting to smell such sweetness. Maybe this is what all the fuss is about!
Thank you Hubby and girls for my flowers, the laughter from today and for being a wonderful family.
