I’ve been enjoying looking at and smelling the blossoms that have popped up around my house lately. The white blossoms are on an oleander tree in my front garden. It is a highly poisonous plant, oleander, but the blossoms are lush and beautiful – almost over the top. The pink and purple blossoms are petunias that my dad gave me for my birthday. I placed the pot on my back patio and I am grateful for them. My tiny yard is otherwise drab and full of weeds so these pretty flowers have cheered me up this week. I hope the heat (we’ve already had triple digits this week!) doesn’t wilt them. I’d really like them to stick around for a while.
Have any blossoms cheered you up lately?
And now for the winner of my 2nd birthday giveaway – I used random.org to generate a number and it choose #5 Sam from Tiny Library!
Congratulations Sam! Email me at gudrunstightsatgmaildotcom with your address and I will get the books off to you as soon as I can. Thanks to everyone who entered!
Enjoy your weekend!
A Certain Fondness
