On Saturday, we went to Brigham City for Peach Days. We had lots and lots of fun walking the booths, and people watching, but the highlight of the day for me and now I guess Ellie too, is being able to make a flower arrangement free of charge to take home with us. There are a couple of floral businesses that donate flowers, and then you get to walk through a line and choose as little or as many flowers as you like, and then they give you a little dish with wet floral foam to make your arrangement. I have done it several years in a row, and it is always exciting to get to do it. I told Ray it makes me want to start doing flowers again. (if only I had the confidence to do it) Anyway one of the guys in charge was really impressed with Ellie's arrangement, and asked if I had helped her at all with it, when I told him no, he said he could tell she had a talent and hopes I will let her pursue it in the future if she chooses. haha Anyway, we had a fun day out as a family, and ended our day with a picnic in the park with KFC, and some pretty flowers that are making our house look and smell pretty.

Wow! I am guessing that you have played with flowers before. heehee!
ReplyDeleteGreat job Ellie, better than I could do. Maybe I could take some lessons from you, I have always wanted to work with flowers.
I don't know why you would need confidence for it, they both look like beautiful arrangements. Ellie did really good too, it kind of makes me jealous, I want some flower arrangments in my house. Will you do some for me?
