Bouquets through the years...

Pin It Now!

My life lately seems to consist of working, working out, working at finding a good date and working at being a good friend and of course I try to be a good mom too!  That has left little time for this blog! I promise you I have not given up on this big part of my life! I love blogging but I think my life was feeling a little unbalanced and feel like I need to take a little break now and then. I will still be posting regularly but I may fill in here and there with some things you may have already seen here if you've been following my blog for awhile!  Today is one of those days...
Today I gathered a lot of photos of bouquets I've made for my home. Most of the flowers are from my garden but some were from the grocery store!
























As you can probably guess, I love fresh flowers in my home!

***********************************
Update on the my Internet dating:

I meeting another guy on Thursday evening for a glass of wine. I don't want to get my hopes up too much but I'm excited about this one!

Good luck with the dating scene. I can't imagine getting back into that mind set. ~ Sarah

Cindy,

Everyone deserves some time off, if nothing else than to re-charge the old batteries!

Enjoy your break, have fun and may your time away be filled with smiles and laughter.

We all need to take a break from things that are on our normal routine occasionally. What better way to fill our need to hear from you than with flowers. Spoken from a florist who never tires of seeing the beauty in flowers.

Sandy said...

All bloggers understand that breaks are needed -- it's important to keep a balance in life and not let one activity take over. As much as I enjoy blogging I like to do other things too. All your photos are just lovely today. i hope you find a nice guy who really appreciates what a gem you are!!!

Rhondi said...

Hi Cindy
I've been reading your blog for a long time, as long as I've been blogging. Whenever you feel an obligation to blog for the sake of your readers, it's time to take a break! Have fun dating! You are a very precious girl.
Hugs, Rhondi

Lori said...

lovely flowers, you do have an eye. Enjoy the wine and I hope the view is great.

I never mind seeing a repeat of your pictures.
Wish you were closer to Iowa, because I have a friend who you would be perfect for.

Elsie said...

Cindy I never tire of looking at your photos whether they be old
or new. You take such beautiful
pictures and you have the most
beautiful flowers.
Good luck Thursday and I don't
blame you for taking a break ever
once in a while. Everyone needs
a break.":O)

I'm sorry, but that "Date The Wealthy" ad on your page is on the verge of tacky. Your blog is too pretty for something like that in your face. Seriously.

Cindy said...

Anonymous: I agree with you! Those google ads I have on there pick up key words in each post so when I mentioned online dating it started running those ads. I wasn't too happy when I saw that!
