I am so happy when they pop up and start blooming year after year. They remind me of when my beautiful daughter was little. We would plant flowers in the garden and I would tell her all of the names of the flowers.Foxglove was a favorite.<br />I wouldn't let her plant the foxgloves even with gloves on because they are poisonous and I was worried about her putting her hands in her mouth or worse eating a flower petal. So I told her they were foxgloves and not to touch them and she just looked at me in amazement and wonder. Later at dinner she was telling her younger brother about the foxgloves. I heard her say. Mommy and I planted fox gloves today I wonder how the fox gets the petals to stick to its paws??They both looked at me and I just shrugged my shoulders not wanting to ruin a fun moment. We all laugh about it now. To this day my daughter loves foxgloves too. The magical memory included.<br />Blessings<br /><span style="color:#ff99ff;">Pam</span>

Oh My! I can just imagine how gorgeous this smells.Sweet peas remind me of my Grandmother. She had the most wonderful taste and style. She loved sweet peas too. When I was dating my husband he would always bring me a small bouquet of sweet peas and now when I go to the farmers market I am so excited when it is sweet pea season to get a bunch.All the way home in the car it smells so wonderful.<br />I have tried to grow them and have just not found the right spot yet. I would LOVELOVELOVE to be able to go to the garden and pick sweet peas and make a wreath like this.Simply Heaven.

The Farmers Markets are always filled with freshly picked flowers. The vendors take large coffee cans and paint them vibrant colors and sell their large bouquets in them.What a treat. The only hard part is choosing just one.There are even road side flowers for sale in tin cans.I can never resist.<br />Every year on May Day I hang a tin can of flowers on my front door. A little bit of Martha's Vineyard in California.I am so excited to be co hosting the Olivenhain Grove Sale on May day this year. I checked the Farmers Almanac and we will have perfect weather for the event.I can't wait to introduce to you the amazing and talented vendors who will be at the sale.
