I absolutely love fresh flowers and when we lived in Seattle I had them in our apartment at all times. Hydrangeas, any type of bulb, and peonies are my favorite flowers for vases. I’ve never been a fan of roses unless they’re hybrids, the regular roses just don’t do it for me. My husband knows to not even bother with roses for anniversaries or Valentine’s Day. A cheap bouquet can turn my day around, especially when they’re bright and insanely fragrant. Like the daffodils I picked up today.
After a crazy night of toddler nightmares and me being so completely exhausted that I was sleep walking. Not a crazy, acting out a dream kind of sleep walk. A “my kid is crying, need to soothe her, tired, lets just co-sleep” kind of sleep walk. I woke up to Vanessa’s feet in my face and a very vague memory of her saying “bop” while touching my nose, her snuggling really close while I stroked her hair, and her saying “mama” over an over again. I was so tired that I even forgot to brew coffee.
So when I saw these beautiful flowers for $1.50 a bunch while stocking up on cheddar bunnies and milk at the grocery store, I couldn’t walk away without grabbing four bunches. So happy I did. They smell soooo good and that bright yellow helped put a little pep in my step after an exhausting night. Amazing what fresh flowers can do for your mood.
Do flowers always seem to lift your spirits also? Or am I the only crazy person that sniffs flowers and immediately starts acting like I’m in a Calgon commercial?
I slept walked to the store today because I was so jet lagged from my flight from Texas. I walked in and went straight to the hydrangeas and put it in the basket. What does it mean that our sleepy impulse is to buy flowers? haha!
Means that we are kindred spirits!
I absolutely love daffodils! They’re one of my favorites.
Me too! I wish I could bottle up the smell of daffodils and carry it around with me.
