In a Vase on Monday: A Sweet Gift

Posted on January 16, 2017 by johnvic8

Today is Monday and time for another vase, sponsored by Cathy at Rambling in the Garden. My faithful Arranger is very much under the weather right now, and her spirits were brightened by a sweet gift from one of our daughters: a beautiful bouquet which includes my Arranger’s favorite yellow roses. The pickings in the garden are quite slim right now, so I have chosen to share this beautiful, uplifting arrangement.

    What a lovely gesture from your daughter and one that will certainly have raised The Arranger’s spirits. I wish her well and trust that you yourself are coping without her ministrations 😉
