Pretty, Pretty Flowers

I love the look of fresh flowers. I only wish I could keep some in my house. Unfortunately, I have pretty bad allergies, a black thumb instead of a green one, and a cat that likes to nibble on them (not good for kitty cats). So, Drusilla and I have to enjoy fake ones in the house and the real ones outside.

As far as the house is concerned, I am working on some crocheted flowers for the window ledge in my kitchen. I found this really cute pattern from PlanetJune for crocheted daffodils, and I am headed to the store this weekend to get my yarn so I can whip up a few.

I also have several flowers around the outside of my house. I am so glad the former owner planted them, because I have absolutely no idea about gardening, nor do I want to! And after several weeks of rain, they have finally begun to bloom.

They really are pretty.

I am pleasantly surprised that they are still alive. I tend to kill all plants that come within several feet of me.

Like these!

In my defense, I think these died because of the drought. . . at least that is my story, and I'm sticking to it!
