Wildflowers



I saw some flowers on the side of the road the other day.

I didn’t have time to stop. Nor did I have any clippers with me.

When #2 son was a little boy he was the one that would jump out of the car for me and pick the wild flowers on the side of the road.

I would stop the car first though.

Or at least slow down a bit.

Such a great burst of color for the dining room and it was free.

But now I have to pick my own.
Well, my husband did spot the purple ones and jumped out and grabbed those for me.

It doesn’t take much to make me happy :)

    Such pretty flowers. My sisters and I used to that for our mother when we were young. Still do it every now and then too!

    That looks beautiful in the vase. I am wanting to go out and cut some too. I am glad you slow down a bit for you son to jump out.

    Wildflowers make me happy too. Due to the drought they are scarce around here.

    Oh, those look pretty. I like the orange ones, they make me think of honeysuckle.

    I love finding wildflowers. I used to make my boys help me get them from the side of the road. Now I'm on my own. Yours look great there, lots of happy yellow!
