“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.
And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.
If we live by the Spirit, let us also keep in step with the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.”
Galatians 5:22-26 READ MORE

Happy Thursday dear friends. Many of you might say winter is your least favorite season. I actually love all four seasons that we experience in our Appalachian Foothills of NE Alabama. January is the perfect month to plan ahead and also look back. Since it wasn’t possible for me to join my Monday Morning Blooms’ friends Shirley, Mary, and Lidy this week (in case you missed their florals click their highlighted name), I thought it a great idea to look back over some of last year’s floral centerpieces. I have assembled many of my favorites all into this one post…flower therapy for a winter’s day. I have never claimed to be a floral designer nor have I ever taken a floral design class, but I sure enjoy the creative process. Let’s take a look at 18 floral centerpieces that take in all four seasons!

Oranges are my favorite winter fruit. Pink “sweet unique” and white “Eskimo” hybrid tea roses combine with halo oranges for a wintertime centerpiece placed in a soup tureen!
Winter rye grass provided the perfect background for St. Paddy’s Day in the country! Not one but two arrangements, both including the appropriate Bells of Ireland, were placed on the picnic table. READ MORE
“The point is this: whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.”

Hello sweet friends. Thank you so much for your heartfelt condolences on the passing of Butch’s dad. We read each one and they were so kind and comforting. His dad will definitely be missed, yet through the sadness we are reminded of God’s goodness and his sovereign hand in all things!
I had not planned to post a tablescape this week, but yesterday I decided it would be enjoyable to pull out the dishes and see what I could come up with. I knew I wanted color…and I think I have a healthy dose of it on this table!
With yesterday being a holiday, I didn’t have the girls so it was a perfect day to set up a tablescape.
Grocery stores roses, carnations, and alstroemeria brought some much needed flower therapy on a cold winter day!READ MORE
