>Ashes to ashes, dust to dust – #63

>This lady makes the most wonderfully delicate spring flower bunches on the Saturday market in Mainz.

They look so light, you’d think they’d float on air.

Lilac blossom, roses, vibrantly green beech leaves, coreopsis and lots of other flowers, the names of which promptly fled my brain when I heard the price. It must have been the sudden rush of blood that adrenalin shock produces.

We bought one anyway.

Surprise, surprise.

Only lasted 3 days, which definitely displeased certain members of the household. Words will no doubt be spoken.

It’ll compost well, though.

  1. >I am envious of you because you already are able to buy market flowers. The weather is that nice??

  2. >The picture of the lady smiling might mean read between the lines. In other words, maybe she knew how long they would last. I don’t know that much about cut flowers but once cut they are dead. So in reality, you got a boquet of dead flowers to begin with. I came to thank you for visiting my blog, yesterday, and for your comments about Patty’s last radiation treatment. She was so pleased that I heard from so many people, including Eric, and I know it made her day extra-special. She was also surprised that some of you also visited her blog and left comments there. So thank you for your visit and comments. Being new to the community, it was a big surprise to us. Thanks again.Abe and Patty LincolnBrookville Daily Photo

  3. >Hee, hee, hah, hah, I can’t stop laughing, imagining what you mumbled when you saw the flowers dead on Day 3.

  4. >Oh, JB, Live the Day!
