We are getting some rain here today and
the garden is looking so lush now. The beds
are really starting to fill now.
All around the Island apple trees are in
blossom and the lilacs are coming
into bloom as well as azaleas...
such a pretty time of the year!
I am sharing a few bouquets with
you today. I love the pitcher in the
one above. I bought it in Florida a
few years ago..

rain stops I can finally pick my first bouquet of the
season.
The old teapot was a yardsale find as
well as the teacup.
I am so happy to be able to pick flowers from the
garden again for little bouquets around the house.
Now, onto the second part of my post. I wanted to inform
my Island readers of an upcoming free Oshibana ~ Japanese

Stratford from June 14 to 16 from 9 a.m to 4 p.m.

He also gave us this beautiful photo with dried pansies
made from a photo he took in our guest room upstairs.
On the bedside table was a photo of our Lucas and the
covered dish and bowl which he used for the pansies and
brought it back to us a few weeks later from Japan.
