Pass the Flowers!

Flowers are among my favorite things!  There are so any varieties, colors, shapes,  sizes, scents, habitats, textures, and unknown medicinal cures for diseases and ailments. I grow my own menagerie of summer flowers, but I support our local ' Farmer's Market' on a regular basis.  I purchase sunflowers, gladiolas, and lizianthis[sp?] which is otherwise known as 'the poor man's rose'.  I have passed them along to folks at the nursing home, neighbors, friends, and the annual retired teachers' party where you bring a dish to pass.  The glads are my dish to pass, along with the goofy phrase,
"Aren't you glad you are retired?"  [Get it?  I had to explain it to way too many folks!]
 Yesterday, I had to return some books to the public library.  I gathered up the last of this week's glads and sunflowers and bought them in to the circulation desk.  Let me just say that the level of excitement and the attention was amazing. 
Wow!  The power of flowers!
Pass some along to some unsuspecting people.  You probably have some in your garden.
It is a win/win project.
