something cheery

July 31, 2013

If I ever want to make myself feel a little cheery, it's flowers to the rescue.  Flowers seems to be the universal trick for cheeriness.  That, and hugging a dog.  Here are some zinnias I picked this morning.  Zinnias are just so bright, so sturdy, the embodiment of good cheer and the queen of our summer garden.

  2. I live in Nova Scotia, and my husband grows 3 or 4 different types of zinnias every year. They never fail to disappoint, and are long lasting cut flowers. I'm so happy to find another zinnia lover!
