A Simple Gift

This simple gift is a tradition in our family 

that has its roots with my great-grandpa 

(more of that story here).  

A glass bottle or container (this is a curvy little deep green glass bottle 

scavenged along the roadside on a walk - I always take a plastic bag with me 

and try to help keep our country life free from litter)

and a little spray paint (in this case silver)

turns the ordinary into the unique.  

Hand-picked flowers from the garden in bright cheery colors 

(gladiola, sedum, begonia, snapdragon, and wild geranium)

gathered while thinking of the recipient - a gift from the heart.  

Happy Birthday, Mom!
