Herbal Tonic

When I got back from Spain
I needed to cheer myself up


so I filled the house with flowers:
hyacinths, anemones, daffodils.

It marked the end of a crazy month:
Morocco, Italy, Spain.


There are things to look forward to
but for now I am happy
to be under my own roof


( a roof which is not leaking anymore,
thanks to super-quick service
from our local roofing company).

  1. Flowers are a wonder. I splurged on a big bunch of daffodils. Every time I see them I smile, and every night the rest in the cool of the garage, so that they may bring as many smiles as possible. : ) Enjoy!

  5. Leaking roofs are distressing, our shed is more like a tank with floating detritus after so much rain. At some point roofing felt will be purchased but flowers are so much prettier.

    Lovely flowers and some lovely trips lately - but always nice to come home!

  8. Glad you're home (and dry), you've had a lovely adventure I think. What a nice thing to treat yourself to such beautiful flowers. Home is such a good place to be, especially when the weather is wild.
