It must be absolutely glorious to be able to have fresh flowers all year long. Here on the Island {on the east coast} I have to rely on flowers from the grocery store in the wintertime. But you know, I'm glad that at least I can get them there. I love having flowers in the house. Thanks for your visit and enjoy your day.<br /><br />Blessings,<br />SandiSandi@ Rose Chintz Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17415214311003251398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5434601505681405514.post-86969998872614364462014-05-19T09:14:18.833-07:002014-05-19T09:14:18.833-07:00You are, indeed, blessed with flower possibilities...You are, indeed, blessed with flower possibilities!<br />Thank you for leaving a comment this morning.

We love and enjoy our flowers so much because they are not so readily available as they are for you my friend. Indeed we often forget how lucky we are and do take things for granted. Love your photos and the buckets from T.J's are fabulous! I do have two Americana pots that my sis bought for me on clearance last year. Heading to the nursery tomorrow to buy red, white, and blue plants. <br />hugs,<br />JannHave a Daily Cup of Mrs. Olsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15446091501170762899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5434601505681405514.post-67664343460648102892014-05-18T13:12:56.313-07:002014-05-18T13:12:56.313-07:00Thanks for your visit and kind comments.
