Surrounded by Flowers

“I must have flowers, always, and always.” -Claude Monet

As summer winds down and we step into fall I am grasping at the last of my flowers growing in my garden. I went big this year and planted a 500ft long cut-flower garden. I’m a ‘go big or go home’ kind of girl. Of course, only about half actually came up, but man did I learn a lot and enjoy some gorgeous arrangements. Every week I filled my house with fresh flowers. It was magical. I have some tweaks to make, but I am already planning and buying seeds for next year. I don’t know about you, but decorating with flowers always makes my day brighter.
