I have a new tradition. Every Monday I take a small bouquet from my gardens with me to work. I find I miss the gardens. This is the first summer in 8 years that I've had to leave them everyday for an office! I just have to take a bit of them with me.
The arrangement from last week included some of my favorite red roses, lady's mantel, willow branches and euphorbia sprigs.
Co-workers have asked... "Is it your birthday?" "Who are the flowers from?" "What's the occasion?"
A bit of home brings peace and fragrance to a tiny, modern, high rise office space. There is nothing like pulling your eyes and focus away from the computer screen to stop and smell the roses.
