A Summer of Flowers

“Flowers are the music of the ground. From earth’s lips spoken without sound”

-Edwin Curran

Having an abundance of farms, farmers markets, and farm stands near my home, shopping for local products has become one of my favorite weekly activities. I seldom leave without a colorful bouquet of fresh cut blooms. The flowers bring me joy and put a smile on my face each time I walk into the room. Enjoy my flower diary!
