T'was just a garden in the rain. Close to a little leafy lane. A touch of color 'neath skies of gray. The raindrops kissed the flowerbeds. The blossoms raised their thirsty heads. A perfumed thank you. They seemed to say. Surely here was charm beyond compare to view. Maybe it was just that I was there with you. T'was just a garden in the rain. But then the sun came out again. And sent us happily on our way.

{stealing moments}



we had so much fun with {little miss niece}.
she had so much fun with {little miss chatterbox}
she couldn't stop giggling. neither could we.

the boy had monday blues and so it was the girl's turn to spring a suprise. I grabbed the white bucket off my desk after school. rushed down to my favourite florist and bought the pretty blooms. this time, i fell in love with the sweetest bunch of tiny white flowers. florist calls them qin ren hua {lovers' flowers} sometimes she calls them starflowers. how could i resist? so with the cheerful orange yellow gerberas, quintessential forget-me-nots and a bunch of those romantic stars, i went home and started on the arrangement. even with the insanity at the back of my mind, i was really happy. doing something i love for myself and for the boy. pleased with the result :) i wanted to create the wild flowers picked from fields look. showed up at the boy's spanish class with the bucket of blooms. mission accomplished. sitting bright and pretty on his work desk now :)
