Artistic Flower Arrangements

With all the plentiful rain this year, the trees have not been stressed out as in the past few years.  As a result the Autumn colors should be spectacular this year.  I can hardly wait, although it does mean summer is coming to an end.  This summer has been rather mild and never got really hot, so I can’t complain.  As soon as the trees begin turning here in Tennessee I will be sure to post some pictures.  In the meantime if any of you have Autumn photos you would like to send me please do, I’ll be happy to post them.

The picture below is one taken by a neighbor of mine a few years back of our lake.

Here it is still the winter season and we’re getting tornado warnings!  Worst yet the storm today did scare me a bit.  Around 2pm I was sitting at the ol’ computer looking out the window, when all of a sudden  huge gust of wind came through.  It managed to knock over the water fountain in the front yard and move a rather large planter I have on the front porch.  A few minutes later we lost power.  It did not come back on until 3 hours later.   When power did come on, I turned on the TV and saw news stories about the storm damage to different parts of Tennessee.  I am thankful that we had no serious damage to our home, however, I can’t say that about some other folks in the area.  Lots of trees and power lines were down as well as a few roofs blown away.

This year will be a quiet Super Bowl Sunday for me.  Poor hubby is down with the flu and the two parties we were supposed to go to will not be.  So intead we will sit down and watch the game from home, enjoy a pizza some soda-pop for me a beer for him and enjoy.  No sense infecting all our friends with this darn flue that’s been making its’ way around the area.  If he isn’t feeling better by tomorrow, we will be taking a trip to see the Doctor for some antibiotics.   With my luck I will be the next one coming down with the bug.  I’ll have to keep my fingers crossed and hope that doesn’t happen.

At least we have had a very pleasant day today.  The sun has been out all day and it even got into the 50′s for a change.  However, tomorrow is supposed to be a different story.  Expecting snow again.  One good thing about living here in Tennessee is that the snow in my area does not last long.  It might stay a week or 10 days and then it just melts away.  Most times when we make out trip to town down the mountain, by the time we get to town there’s not even a sign that it’s been snowing at all.  Stay well all and enjoy the football game.

Oh dear, what to blog about.  I have not done this before.  Should I talk about the weather?  No, I don’t think people really care to much about that.  Maybe politics.  That could be a really hot subject, but I’m not into it, so its a no.  Maybe I’ll just stick to flowers and flower arranging and once in a while throw in a bit of what it is like to live in the Tennessee mountains.  Yes, that seems to be it!  Flowers, wonderful, beautiful, amazing flowers. So folks looks like you’re going to be stuck with me and my flowers and flower arranging.  If you have any questions or comments just drop me a line.
