I've been Tagged!

What is my current obsession? I don't know if I'd say I'm really obsessed with anything at the moment, just trying to keep up with life! Work, meals, laundry, cleaning and I guess I am trying to exercise everyday. Summer is practically here and it scares me to think of wearing shorts and swim suits again!

Which item of clothing do you wear most often? Jeans and for the moment flip flops. But who knows, it may snow again and I will have to put the snow boots back on!

What's for dinner? Leftover ham and Au Gratin potatoes I made from Sunday.

What are you listening to? Night sounds from the window- an occasional car driving by and frogs croaking by the river.

Say something about the one that tagged you. She is a sweetheart!

Guilty Pleasure? Lattes- pretty much anything rich and yummy from the coffee shop. Or ice cream cones on a warm evening.

Favorite vacation spots? England, Montana, Oregon

What am I reading right now? Anne of the Island (just finished Anne of Avonlea)

Four words to describe myself. content, optimistic, caffeinated, strong-willed

First Spring thing to do? Planted my violas!

What do I look forward to? Evening walks in the summer

Who should I Tag....
Gumbo Lily
Lady on the Ranch
Ranch Girl

Being content

Boy, it's been a while since I've blogged! Can't believe I haven't been on here since January. Yikes. Not a whole lot has changed...just workin and enjoyin life.

Mother's Day was pretty intense at the flower shop. Even busier than Valentine's day! I didn't do any arrangements tho- they had 4 florists on duty. The closest I got to making an arrangement (well I guess I did do a couple bud vases and wrapped flowers) was greening a container. Which means I put the green foam stuff in the basket, watered it with preservative water, taped it down so it was secure, and took leather (the green leafy stuff) and stuck it in all over to create a green basket for the flowers to be poked into. Otherwise I got to deliver flowers, or take orders.

Here's an arrangement I did a WHILE ago, I have done many more since this one, but it was the last one I took a picture of.

Ok, so the title of this post is on being content. I have been reading some Anne of Green Gables while at work at the coffee shop and and currently reading Anne of Avonlea. I just love it! It's been so long since I've read it. Anyways, there was a conversation going on in one part of a chapter between Mrs. Allen and Anne, concerning whether or not she may get to go to college. I just really loved it and wanted to share with ya'll....

" Well, I should like to see you go to college, Anne; but if you never do, don't be discontented about it. We make our own lives wherever we are, after all...college can only help us to do it more easily. They are broad or narrow according to what we put into them, not what we get out. Life is rich and full here...everywhere...if we can only learn how to open our whole hearts to it's richness and fullness."
