Once upon a time… I used to not see flowers very much, in November. And then I moved west. I was surprised and wondered “What I have been doing all my life ! ??” You see, I’m originally from Rochester NY and lived there most of my first 24 years of life. Then I moved to Syracuse N.Y. which may as well be Alaska. ( Smile) All winter, they get lake effect snow. And if you’ve never seen “lake effect” you’ve never seen snow. For real.
I vowed one year, after (cleaning hard ice off my car window shield repetitively in below zero weather… ) :
“I will be moving to a warmer place!”
And the rest is history. I moved in April of 2006. First I moved to Maryland, Packed up my life , got a settlement …and moved south . Then I did moved again cross country… found a wonderful man… or a wonderful man found me… who lived in Texas, fell in love, and made me get on that plane and leave the state of Maryland – where I had always wanted to live. I was as happy as I could be!
I have to say, I love these beautiful flowers, this time of year They make me happy!
