“My Faith is larger than the Hills-So when the Hills decay-My Faith must take the Purple Wheel To show the Sun the way-‘Tis first He steps upon the Vane-And then-upon the Hill-And then abroad the World He go To do His Golden Will-And if His Yellow feet should miss-The Bird would not arise-The Flowers would slumber on their Stems-No Bells have Paradise-How dare I, therefore, stint a faith On which so vast depends-Lest Firmament should fail for me-The Rivet in the Bands”
-Emily Dickinson
My flowers are wanting for water so I gave them a drink today. Some are slowing down in production and I am thinking of sowing some more zinnias-if I think they can bloom before the frost. Still, they make such a beautiful bouquet
The sunflowers are still growing wild and have even been attracting a beautiful yellow bird who has been enjoying the seeds. I am hoping he leaves me so that I can save them for next year.
I think these sunflowers are one of my favorites. This bloom is technically from last week’s bouquet but I am sharing it here because I am pressing it in my flower press to see how it turns out.
Wishing you a week of flowers.
Until next time…

Hi Michele, thanks for your comment on my blog, nice to meet you! Your flowers are beautiful, when the weather gets back to normal here I will plant some mums. Have a great weekend, take care,Valerie
Hi Valerie-thank you so much for stopping by my little corner of the web 🙂 Yes I cannot wait for mums! If I am being honest I have already purchased some pumpkin spice coffee just waiting for fall! I will be sure to stop back on your blog to see the garden. Wishing you a lovely day!
Your flowers are beautiful! There’s something extra special about a bouquet from your own garden. They must inspire you in so many ways!
Thank you so much Michelle! Yes the flowers do inspire me and restore me 🙂 I love to make bouquets that look like you wandered through a meadow and picked them. Which, minus the meadow part, is just what I do 🙂 Thank you so much for stopping by and for your lovely comments!
