Come As You Are...

 

today,

I am going to take you along..

 

to

somewhere different...

 

 

this is the last home of Kurt Cobain

he died 23 years ago today...

 



 

I go each year to this park by his old home

 

where fans gather in sorrow,

for a the loss of a sensitive man...

 



 

I chatted for awhile

with this nice man...

 

who was burning incense...

 

it was quiet...

 

he was Seattle's son...

the Elvis of my generation...

 

I vividly remember

the night he took his life,

I was crying my friends were crying,

everyone was silent upon the news...

 



 

 

these words were left by a fan

at his memorial park in Aberdeen, WA...

 

I couldn't have said it better myself...

 



 

The sun is gone, but I have a light.

Thank you for coming along today...

How to Build an Organic Spring Bouquet....

My usual bouquet

is simple...

 

one to two varieties of flowers

usual pink,

usually roses...

 

on this Spring Morning,

I had desires

for something more wild

untamed...

 

so I gathered handfuls

of each flower currently in bloom

 in my garden...

 

 

 

the base layer

is Wisps of Clematis..

 

I broke the rule of no leaves below water level,

and twisted lots of extra stems into the water,

creating an organic frog...

 

 

 

next is

Thunder Cloud Plum Branches...

 



 

a big Handful of Hyacinths...

 

I am crazy for the fragrance,

they fill the room...

 

 

a Trio of Camellia Blooms...

 



 

I tucked these White Lacy Flowers in...

 

I bought the plant at a plant sale,

unmarked...

 

they look like Giant Candytuft,

but have completely different leaves...

 



 

the first Trailing Bleeding Heart Blooms,

complete my bouquet...

 

 

Have  a Great Day!

 

Thank You for Stopping By!
