Thanks Raven and Annie - I wasn't sure how to arrange them. Can you believe they were at my local Shop Rite supermarket. What's even odder is that it's one of the smaller stores and they were not expensive - maybe $11 or so. I was surprised to see them and even happier when they lasted nearly 2 weeks. So often tubular flowers like that get all mushy at the bottom and you have to keep cutting the stems. On my next visit the flower lady was in and I asked her about them. She said it was the first time she had ever seen them in her order book so she thought she'd give them a try.

Taken in Michigan on my sister and BIL’s 27 acres. Such an incredibly beautiful and peaceful place! This stream winds it's way all through their property

Christmas gift from my son. I asked for a trowel because my old one broke. I got a very heavy deadly weapon lol. My old one was cheap, plastic handle that broke. I don't think I'll ever need to replace this one.

I was walking through the forest near Prince Rupert, BC along the Rainbow Stream and came across a partially hidden pet cemetery. It covered quite a large area. I’m pretty sure these guys got to worship how they wanted. And they do say that all dogs go to heaven. And hamsters.
