New Season's Sister

Hello Gentle Sprigs ~

I haven't been out much lately as it's been far too cold for me but, I think it's time you met two sisters of mine (I have way more than two - you'll meet more later)...

This is Evelyn - someday she wants to grow up to be a Christmas Tree - I don't have the heart to tell her, do You?



And this is Donna. Donna wants to move and hang out with the 'tropical variety' - I don't have the heart to tell her either....they're destined for Michigan shrubery!

That's all for now....just keep an eye out for what gems these girls may come up with for the holiday season.


Butterfly kisses to all and Sweet Smells......Sylvia

Greatful

Hello Gentle Goosebumps ~

I was considering my recent post where I indicated I wanted to get out and about....well...I do like to travel....but since you're still breathing, you've noticed a chill in the air - and nights dropping to freezing temps?..... Poor little frosty foliage....

***

I'm so glad I was born to SPRING Royalty....

Tip: Get covered when it frosts! Happy Week and Sweet Smells.....Sylvia

WTF?

Yo, Gentle Pranksters ~

I'll be frank: I'm a tad frustrated being shoved around this building like a Firestone CHACHKI! ....THIS is ridiculous and I refuse to continue playing this game- I need to get OUT and ABOUT...and stop this insanity!

Well...at least I'm the PRETTIEST babe in this group!

there's no Sweet Smells in here.................Sylvia

It's Election Day...

Hello Gentle Voters...

I'm hanging out on the side of the building today just making sure that people are leaving to register their vote and then returning to our lovely work place.... Let's see if we can make reference to something BLOOMING after we learn who won!!! Talk soon....

Happy Voting and Sweet Smells.......Sylvia

Trick or Treat, My Asters!

Well, Sweet Buttercups - yes, I'm horrified that a trick would be to place me on display like this to take a photo....

oh, trust me...it's important that we all try to get along in this garden of ours...but the gobblins that did this to me did NOT...I repeat...DID NOT get a halloween treat from me. I'm frankly glad that silly holiday of over.

On to something warm and beautiful....turkey and an iris in your bouquet!

Sweet Smells.....Sylvia

Slight Break....

Hello Gentle Baby's Breath ~

So here I am visiting a real estate agent's office in full bloom - (notice plethera of pretty paper? this is one busy agent)... and have decided after this visit that I will take a break as I refuse to compete with all the (fake) tinted orange daisies and those MUMS!

So I will wish you all a Happy Halloween (if you so celebrate this 'holiday') - and will share travels with you again next week.......

Sweet Smells.........Sylvia

Say It With Music

Hello Gentle Buds.....

ALL of us flowers need our pedals to open and our leaves to sway...we do it to natures music of birds chirping....and we sway to tunes where we just can't stop our little feet from moving. This is one of my favorite groups who lost their leader yesterday....so this post is in the group's memory.... here's to you Levi Stubbs.

Sweet Smells....and swaying to the music..................Sylvia

Posing in the Lobby

Happy Monday, Gentle Buttercups ~

I just stopped by the lobby of the building to have a photo-shoot and wanted to share my lovely surroundings with you.

It's such a lovely lobby without the gorgeous mahogany planters - silver plastic is so much more..um...hip. And don't you just love the Home Goods couch in lieu of that charcoal leather arrangement...they've really spruced down the place and I'm so pleased...

Sweet Smells, Sylvia
