friday finds ... the 2.21 edition

"arranging a bowl of flowers in the morning 
can give a sense of quiet in a crowded day ~
like writing a poem or saying a prayer"

I love Friday Finds with Kim Klassen ... "it is a place to gather and share ... a place to cherish life's simple pleasures" ... doesn't that sound like such an inviting place?

Oh my ... friday once again.  It has been a very difficult week.  Sickness in the house (pass the kleenex please),  a major snowfall to shovel while my hubby was out of town in sunny California (okay, he was on business, but still it was warm and he was near a beach),  fog as thick as a marshmallow and now the high winds.
 
So glad this week has come to an end.

Valentine's Day may be over, but my anemones are still blooming on!  I adore their soft delicate petals and the stamens make my heart just skip a beat with their amazing pop of color.  

I just love to find a flower that makes me smile ... don't you?
