Since we aren’t out and about shopping these days, it is very rare that I have fresh flowers in the house. And I do love my fresh flowers. Yesterday, hubs called me into the kitchen saying that he had a surprise for me. And I do like surprises. He was chuckling, as he usually does, when he gives me something. And I am quite used to his chuckling. And there you have it! He lobbed some flowers, branches and all, off one of our rhododendron bushes to present me with fresh flowers in a vase of his choosing. And I thanked him with a hug and a kiss, anyway.

It's beautiful, I like to have fresh flowers, especially during the spring when it has the most, of various kinds. it somehow ennobles the space. Your husband is very careful

I agree. We usually would get fresh flowers every week. Red for the kitchen and pink for the family room. More reds for the living room if we were having guests. Quite often, I cut flowers and flowering weeds to perk up the house. I adore flowers!

@DianneN I find it interesting with the colors, how you shared. Red for the kitchen and pink for the family room... does it have anything to do with feng shui or are you just so used to it, you like it that way?
