A beautiful Thanksgiving morning here. Hope you all are having a great day whether you celebrate or not!

I was tasked with making a tropical bouquet that was “riotous, colorful, overblown, overgrown, and over-the-top”. Here’s the result:

A day late posting this, but worth it!

Just put together this bouquet for a neighbor. She had mentioned last week that they were her mother’s favorite flower and I realized I had some on hand. Always nice when I find a person that I can give flowers to.

Had a nice lunch today with several friends and neighbors. We all agreed that mom needs to aim for at least 100!

Nothing special going on here except that the weather has finally cooled down and the mornings are beautiful. Enjoy!

Here’s my fall bouquet in our building’s lobby.
