Usually we take care of Hazel Nina on Tuesdays and Fridays, but this week her mother had to work today as well, so she came with us to get the CSA flowers. The woman who runs the farm is a friend of Margaret's and so Hazel knows her and was excited to go. The bouquets are all set out on the table, wrapped in paper, soaking in water. They are all pretty much the same, but we can pick the one we want. Hazel chose this week's bouquet and on the way home after five minutes in the car, she was asleep,
as was Lucy in the front seat!
Tom drove us home, I put the flowers in water, and off we went again for an hour, driving the back roads in air-conditioned comfort on this very hot day.
On Monday, I made two little bouquets from the flowers that were left from last week.
And here are this week's flowers!

Beautiful. I love the little shot of orange in this week's arrangement. That Nina is such a sweet little girl, so is Lucy.
ReplyDeleteThe woman is an artist, no doubt about it! They are both sweet girls!
DeleteFlower bouquets always seem to make things a little better. They're good for the soul :)
ReplyDeleteI truly believe this!
DeleteGorgeous, dramatic colours this week, Nan!
ReplyDeleteThey really are so beautiful!
DeleteThe bouquets are gorgeous; I especially love the colors in this one. The pictures of the two nappers are so nice, too.
ReplyDeleteI just love these weekly bouquets!! So cheerful and summery. Thank you about the nappers.
DeleteSuch an angelic photo of Hazel Nina, sound asleep after all that driving and choosing a bouquet. She chose well.
ReplyDeleteI love floral arrangements, and enjoy the process of breaking them down into smaller vases, as they die back. Lovely post.
Thank you, Penny!
DeleteNot unlike the flowers O.K. gave me when he arrived at my place for the weekend last Saturday :-)
ReplyDeleteLove that picture of Hazel Nina, what an adorable little girl she is!
I shared mine with him - didn't he tell you? He popped over especially to get you flowers. ;<)))
DeleteHazel Nina is so precious. What lovely memories you are making together too!
ReplyDeleteShe is indeed!
DeleteI haven't heard of CSA flowers before, made a note to see if they're available around here. It's pretty that the flowers last week were in cool tones and this week in warm colors. Your granddaughter is so lovely, even while asleep!
ReplyDeleteThe grower's instagram page is full of cosmos and snapdragons! Yes, she is lovely and oh, so wonderful.
DeleteSimply beautiful!!....the flowers too :)
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteThe flowers continue to amaze me. So lovely, how rich you must feel to be surrounded by beautiful fresh flowers. Hazel is quite the beauty, too, of course. And Lucy, don't want to leave anyone out.
ReplyDeleteThe woman is an artist! She puts together the prettiest bouquets. It must be wonderful to do such a good thing in the world. And yes, they are both beauties!
DeleteHazel Nina has a good eye for beauty -- that's a lovely arrangement. She is so beautiful! And isn't it wonderful to be able to sleep easily like that!!
ReplyDeleteShe will quite often go from talking or playing to sleep in an instant. It is a wonderful thing.
DeleteI wish we could bottle that quality!
DeleteSuch a nice little vignette from the day. Good thing you and Tom were able to resist the ZZZZZs. :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you. Good thing indeed.
DeleteGorgeous flowers and a beautiful granddaughter. We are blessed with our little grands, aren't we?!
ReplyDeleteI am thankful every single minute.
