An Easter of Flowers at the House










We enjoy entertaining, especially at the holidays, and spending time with those we care about and eating way too much food.  The House tends to fill up with flowers on these occassions that our way too generous guests bring with them.  Above are just a few examples of what we received yesterday.

From the top: A gorgeous potted plant takes the place of a silver bowl that was shown in the Silver Bowl post below.  White orchids are our favorite! This one sits on the Kitchen counter behind a few cookies left over from the Easter feast.  Next is a photo of just some of the desserts we served yesterday among a few bouquets.  A shot of a corner of the Living Room shows another white orchid and the above mentioned potted plant.  Matt and his family brought a beautiful potted gardenia.  When I went out to take a photo of it, a butterfly just happened to land on it near a bloom.  The next photo shows one more white orchid.  This one though has been in the House since last Thanksgiving.  It still looks as fresh as it did the day it arrived.  It is amazing and I love it!!  The last photo is of one of the four cats who live here with us.  This is Fred.  He is sitting on the table next to the Thanksgiving orchid.  I could not resist including him.
