Flowers and Friends

 Last week I started going through some of my older blog posts,

 and realized how many photos I have posted of flowers!

 Maybe it's because flowers are so interesting

and everyone loves them so much...

they stay still too and love to have their picture taken

 Most, if not all of the photos,

 are things that I have grown in my garden

 Including the occasional veggie...which are also fun to photograph

 Lemons and lavender...what a great combination of color and scent

 and of course roses

 and lilacs....love them 

 and hydrangeas 

 orchids....love them too

 and sweet peas...the smell is heavenly

 Below is the garden from the movie

"It's Complicated"

I love how they mixed the flowers into the vegetable garden

Flowers are friends really...I don't have a favorite or a BFF

 "best flower friend"

....couldn't even begin to pick one

 they are all wonderful

 wonderful dried or covered with rain

 So here is where the friend part comes in again...

blogging friends...I have made so many!

 A wonderful blogger Jane 

from Artfully Graced, 

stops by often and always leaves wonderful comments.

She even shared a great recipe for Marinara sauce with me 

when I had hundreds of tomatoes.

 But I was so amazed when she took the photo above 

and painted the lovely oil below

Thank you for sharing this with me Jane

and please visit her to see more of her work

Have a great weekend 

&

enjoy

your flowers and friends
